[[File:Learn How to Juggle 3 Balls|thumb|right|480 px]]'''Balls''' are roughly spherical objects,<ref>http://www.juggling.org/records/rules.html</ref> usually small enough that several can be held in one hand at a time. They are the most common [[Prop|prop]] used for [[Toss juggling|toss juggling]] and [[Bounce juggling|bounce juggling]], and they are the prop that most people learn to juggle first. Most jugglers consider balls to be easier to juggle than [[Ring juggling|rings]] or [[Club juggling|clubs]]. [[Beanbags]] are the most common type of juggling ball, and are preferred by many jugglers, especially [[Numbers juggling|numbers jugglers]].

Learn_How_To_Juggle

Learn How To Juggle

Balls are roughly spherical objects,[1] usually small enough that several can be held in one hand at a time. They are the most common prop used for toss juggling and bounce juggling, and they are the prop that most people learn to juggle first. Most jugglers consider balls to be easier to juggle than rings or clubs. Beanbags are the most common type of juggling ball, and are preferred by many jugglers, especially numbers jugglers.

The earliest known record of ball juggling is an Egyptian wall painting of female dancers and acrobats juggling balls in the 15th Beni Hasan tomb, dating from the middle kingdom period of about 1994-1781 B.C.[2]

The highest number of balls that have been qualified (at least twice as many catches as objects) is 11 for toss juggling and 10 for bounce juggling, and the highest number of balls that have been flashed (same number of throws and catches as objects) is 14 for toss juggling (by Alex Barron) and 12 for bounce juggling (by Alan Sulc).[3][3]

3 balls

The 3 ball cascade is usually the first juggling pattern a beginning juggler learns. The world record for 3 ball endurance is 12 hours and 5 minutes by David Slick.[4]

4 balls

4ball_juggling

4ball juggling

4 ball tricks by Tsubasa Murakami

4 balls are most commonly juggled in a fountain pattern (2 balls in each hand). The wimpy pattern may be more difficult for beginning 4 ball jugglers because the balls collide easily, but since crossing throws are generally easier than non-crossing throws, the wimpy pattern is easier than the fountain for higher numbers. The 4 ball endurance world record is 2 hours, 46 minutes and 48 seconds by Zdeněk Bradáč.[5]

5 balls

5 ball competition routines at WJF 6

The basic pattern for 5 ball juggling is a higher (and/or faster) version of the 3 ball cascade. 5 is the minimum number of balls used in the competitions in the WJF overall championship.[6] 5 balls was originally the minimum for the advanced ball short program;[7] since 2010, that competition is for 5 balls only. The overall championship also includes a 5 ball freestyle competition (best trick contest; held since 2006). Before 2015, the overall championship included a 5 ball 360s competition (most 5 up 360s in 1 minute).[6] The world record for 5 balls is 2 hours, 41 minutes and 26 seconds by Ofek Snir.(video) Thomas Dietz claims to have juggled 5 balls for 3 hours and 47 minutes.

7 ball tricks by David Ferman

Until 1984, there were only two divisions in the IJA Numbers Championships - one for 7 objects (competitors could use either 7 balls or 7 rings in the same division) and one for 5 clubs. Since 1984, the IJA has had competitions with a separate division for each prop, where competitors are scored higher for juggling higher numbers.[9] The WJF overall championship includes a 7 ball freestyle competition (held since 2004),[6] and also included a 7 ball isolated endurance competition (endurance contest with competitors standing on chairs to allow only accurate, controlled patterns) from 2007 to 2014.[8] The world record for 7 ball juggling is 16 minutes and 25 seconds by Adolfo Almonacid.(video) The world record for the longest 7 ball bounce juggling run with publicly available video evidence is 11 minutes and 20 seconds by Tayron Colombaioni.

The first person to juggle 8 balls in the IJA's numbers endurance competition was Dan Bennett in 1984, and the first person to juggle 8 balls in the bounce juggling numbers competition was Fritz Grobe in 1993.[9] 8 is now the minimum number of balls used in the IJA's numbers endurance competition.[10] 8 balls was the minimum number of balls used in the WJF's numbers endurance competition[11] until 2010. Since 2011, the WJF ball endurance competition has started with 9 balls.[6] The 8 ball juggling world record is 1 minute and 13 seconds by Anthony Gatto.[3](video) The world record for bounce juggling 8 balls is 4 minutes and 12 seconds by Alan Sulc.[12](video) The following people have juggled 8 balls for over 100 catches on video:

Other jugglers reported to have done over 100 catches of 8 balls:

9 balls

The first person to juggle 9 balls in the IJA's numbers endurance competition was Anthony Gatto in 1989, and the first person to bounce juggle 9 balls in competition was Nate Seefeldt in 2001.[9] 9 is the minimum number of balls used in the WJF's numbers endurance competition,[6] and is the highest number of balls that have been qualified in any of the numbers endurance competitions at the IJA[13] and the WJF. The world record for 9 balls is 54 seconds by Anthony Gatto.[3](video) The world record for bounce juggling 9 balls is 40 seconds by Mathias Ramfelt.(video)

The following people have juggled 9 balls for over 100 catches on video:

Other jugglers reported to have done over 100 catches of 9 balls:

10 ball world record by Alex Barron

Several jugglers are recorded as having done 10 balls in the early 20th century, including Frank LeDent, Pierre Amoros, Enrico Rastelli, and Jenny Jaeger.[14][15] No one has successfully toss juggled 10 balls in the numbers endurance competitions at the IJA[13] and the WJF, which require a qualifying run. The first person to successfully bounce juggle 10 in competition was Robert Mosher III in 2007.[9] The world record for bounce juggling 10 balls is 51 catches by Mathias Ramfelt.(video) The following jugglers have qualified 10 ball non-multiplex toss juggling on video:

11 Balls - 33 Catches

11 ball world record by Alex Barron

11 is the highest number of balls that have been performed onstage. Frank LeDent, who was performing with 11 in 1907, is the first person credited with juggling 11 balls.[14] Bruce Sarafian was the first person to flash 11 balls on video, in 1992.[17] In 1994, he broke his own world record with 12 catches,[18] and in 1997 Jason Garfield tied for the record, also getting 12 catches.[19] In 2000 Jason beat Bruce's record with 14 catches,[20] and in 2001 Bruce regained the record, getting 15 catches.[21]

This remained the world record for 11 balls until 2010, when Alex Barron also got 15 catches,[22] and then 17 catches three days later.[23] Three days after that Peter Bone broke the record with 18 catches,[24] and in four more days, Alex did 19.[25] Two days later Alex Barron got 21 catches of 11 balls.[26] Alex claimed to have done 23 catches four days after he did 21, but his camera got knocked over by the wind just before he did it,[27] so there was no video evidence of the qualify until he was able to get 23 catches again in 2012.(video) Later in 2012, he did 11 balls for 25 catches.(video) In 2017, Alex did 26 catches,(video) and later set the current 11 ball world record with a run of 33 catches.(video) Tom Whitfield is the only other person who has qualified 11 balls. He did 25 catches in 2018.(video)
