5 Ball Lift Bouncing A Tutorial
Lift bounce tutorial
Since a dropped ball never bounces all the way back up to the height it was dropped from, maintaining a bounce juggling pattern requires the balls to be either lifted up with the hand after catching so they can be dropped from the same height every time, or thrown down at the floor to make them bounce higher than they would if they were just dropped. Juggling by lifting the bouncing balls is called a lift bounce, and juggling by throwing them at the floor is called a force bounce.[2]
It's possible to do patterns where the balls bounce more than once before they are caught, but in the IJA Numbers competitions and in official world records, each ball thrown must bounce exactly one time before being caught. Since a stable pattern can be maintained by simply pushing the balls slightly to redirect them, without actually gripping them, any touch of a ball with a hand can be considered a catch in bounce juggling (as long as no catches have been missed yet).[3]
Bounce juggling can be easier than toss juggling because the balls don't have to be thrown high,[4] but numbers jugglers have been able to juggle more balls in toss juggling than bounce juggling, and most of the world records for solo bounce juggling are lower than the equivalent records for toss juggling.[5] The highest number of bouncing balls that have been qualified (at least twice as many catches as objects) is 10, and the highest number of bouncing balls that have been flashed (same number of throws and catches as objects) is 12 (by Alan Sulc).[6]

4 ball bounce
Edit
4 balls can be bounce juggled in a wimpy pattern (using crossing throws) or a fountain pattern (using non-crossing throws). For even numbers of balls, bounce jugglers usually use the wimpy pattern. The world record for the longest 4 ball bounce run on video is 2 hours and 1 second (of a lift bounce) by Bill Coad.

Tim Nolan was the first person to flash a 9 ball force bounce, in 2001. His record of 9 catches was originally listed as the world record for that pattern on the Bounce Page, but no video evidence was provided to verify that record.[12] Eden Zak broke the record on video in 2004 with 11 catches.[16] Alan Sulc broke the record with 14 catches in 2004,[17](video) 15 catches in 2006,(video) and 62 catches in 2008.(video) He set the current 9 ball force bounce world record in 2016, with 98 catches,(video) and claims to have done 9 for around 130 catches.
Nate Seefeldt was the first person to qualify a 9 ball bounce in the IJA Numbers Championships, achieving 20 catches in 2001. Jonathan Root also did 20 catches in IJA competition in 2002. In 2003, the competition record was broken by Christian Kloc with 21 catches, and then by John Jones with 25 catches. In 2004, it was broken again by John Jones with 27 catches, by Nate Seefeldt with 29 catches, and by Christian Kloc with 30 catches. Christian won the 2005 Numbers competition with 37 catches, and did 49 catches in the 2007 competition.[10]
