Race to learn 7 balls

[Jacob:Sacher]

Hello
At the moment I'm trying to learn 7 balls, but I'm finding I dont have
much motivation. I can flash just about on command but no more than that.
So what I propose, for anyone who can flash 7 balls, or is learning, or
would like to learn. Is a race, the first person to 100 catches on video
wins.
It may take a few months or even a few years but someone will get there.

Time starts.....NOW

Is there an upper limit for ones current personal best to enter?
Someone with a PB of 98 catches may have a slight advantage here.

Steffen

(current PB 21 catches clean)

[Jacob:Sacher]

There is no prize for the winner.
so anyone who would like to "play" should feel free

Ps if your record is 98 catches please dont enter

OK, I'm in then!
My personal best of 21 catches may give me a slight headstart, but as you
can see from my record log I'm a VERY SLOW learner.
So my only chance to win this is if everyone else quits :-).

I assume we're going to update each other on our progress?

Danke!

Hab' vorhin Deinen 7 Ball Rekord gesehen in der Datenbank gesehen. 1min!
Saustark! Da möchte ich auch hin - irgendwann mal ...

Gruß
Steffen

PS: falls Du irgendwo ein Video von einem längeren 7-Ball Run rumliegen
hast wäre ich sehr interessiert daran es zu sehen. Ich finde es hilft
Videos von Leuten anzusehen, die den Trick, an dem man gerade selbst
arbeitet, schon beherrschen.

[Andreas Folk]

das geht mir da ganz ähnlich, hab leider nich so oft gelegenheit zum
filmen. mal schaun, was sich da in naher zukunft so machen läßt :)

can flash 6, my 5 is fairly solid nearly 100 catches . so let us race.

Good idea, Jacob!
I'm in on it!
I can qualify 7 consistently, but I haven't worked at it seriously for
ages. My PB is 39 (from 2 years ago!), but nowadays, I rarely get past the
25 catches. This race idea could be a good motivation for taking it up
again :)
Besides, as Steffen pointed out, it could be a good idea to update one
another on our progress. Maybe once in a week in this thread?

First update from here.
First of all, my qualify isn't as consistent as I thought (well, I guess
that's what happens when you
don't actually count)! Out of 45 attempts, I only managed to qualify (or
above) 12 times, only twice
clean! My best run was 29. The video's underway.
I can't practice today, so I'll probably give it a go tomorrow and post
the update.

Go on then! I'll give it a go as well. I am trying to up my personal bests
in various other juggling props/numbers at the moment so what's one more.
I haven't juggled 7 balls for ages but probably had up to 2 or so throws
at best! Just need to borrow something to film it on now.

Sorry missed some zeros off somehow!
After spending 30 minutes or so this evening and getting a best of 11
catches, I am wondering how enthusiastic I will be in a weeks time!

Good call!

Haven't practiced 7 balls in ages, been concentrating on 5 ball patterns,
5 ball mills in particular. Just felt I wasn't good enough to do 7.

Now I am.. but 100 catches? That's going to take a lot of time.

Kim

PB 20 something catches. Sloppy...

[Ian-Chess]

A good idea, I'm in. My personal best is 17 catches. I need to work on a

At the moment I'm trying to learn 7 balls, but I'm finding I dont have
much motivation. I can flash just about on command but no more than that.
So what I propose, for anyone who can flash 7 balls, or is learning, or
would like to learn. Is a race, the first person to 100 catches on video
wins.
It may take a few months or even a few years but someone will get there.
Time starts.....NOW

matter what pattern i ask you to do!!!

My personal best I did the day before yesterday. 70 catches. I think it
would be unfair to compete, but if I get the 100 catches I'll inform you
:-D

Good idea with the competition:) But my progress is quite slowwww. I can
flash 7 balls. Although I tried to do more ... it seems to be very
difficult:)

Good luck everybody:)

i am in, i've qualified it twice but never any more. good luck to all

Hi,

I've created a spreadsheet for the 15 contestants we have so far,
including the first name (where it's know or I could guess), the handle,
the personal best (if given) and the date of entry into the contest. I'll
paste it here (I have no clue how it'll come across though). The order is
by decreasing PB. It's purpose is to give some overview.

The way you did it is fine, you just need to click the "Fixed font" link
at the top of the page to view it.

Great initiative, Steffen!
For the sake of completeness, I've recently changed my handle in my
profile (used to be the
cumbersome Le_lemGo), and am now using my actual name :)
Do you intend to keep the list updated as people post their progress?

Aymeric - or lemGo, whatever...

Yes I thought I would do something like that. It looks however like Mark
has volunteered to take over that responsibility and in a much better
format too! Who am I to object :-).

It's Juggling wednesday!

So I'm going to try to film my 7 balls.

I hope I can get a clean run of 20-25 on tape. Still think 100 is too much
though. It's like with difficult 5 ball patterns. You quickly get it to a
qualify, but running it for 100 catches takes months, even years...

This works though, seeing as I'm 3th in the ranking makes me want to win
:-)

BTW: Would any of the contestants care to reveal their age? I'm an elderly
chap myself (42 yrs) so my progress with this is rather slow. I'd be
interested whether there is anyone else in my age group.

I turned 35 last month.
Thought it could be interesting to add other trivia such as: I use
home-made russians, 53mm, 110g.

Hey me to. 2.5 in. 85 grams.
lately I've been trying to use pinky balls but they're very challenging.

Yup, that puts you in the senior (35-70 year old) category! Maybe we
should have a seperate ranking in that category :-)
I use sandfilled street hockey balls, low density 66mm 125g. Very easy to
collect.

Cool! That looks good!
Since I can't practice for more than 10 minutes a day, I've also made
detailed spreadsheets for each practice session. Would you be interested
to include those as well? Of course, it could be more interesting if other
particpants did that too :)

If everyone is updating their progress on jugglingdb.com then it might be
easier to have a script pulling that info down rather than collecting it
all by hand, just a thought anyway..

Yup. That's the whole idea with this challenge, isn't it?

I appreciated reading Scott Sorenson's post in the links section of the
7ballrace site, thanks for providing it! I'll try the advice of changing
balls once in a while to get the pattern more solid :)

Here's brief description of my typical practice session:

- warm-up: neck, shoulers, arms, wrists and fingers, maybe 5 minutes in all
- mainly 4, 5 and 6 ball siteswaps with loads of 7's in them (usually 15
to 20 minutes) before getting on to 7
- approximately 10 minutes on 7, shifting the starting hand now and again
- stretching

I am not an official entrant as I am only auditing the course, using it
as a motivation tool. I recently threw away a pair of shoes older than
42 (those wing-tips wear like iron and were about as comfortable) and am
currently only 62.5 but getting older every day.

I am currently doing 10 five ball flashes at seven ball height with a
gap about every hour. If it works, *you* will hear about it.

Hello
At the moment I'm trying to learn 7 balls, but I'm finding I dont have
much motivation. I can flash just about on command but no more than that.
So what I propose, for anyone who can flash 7 balls, or is learning, or
would like to learn. Is a race, the first person to 100 catches on video
wins.
It may take a few months or even a few years but someone will get there.

Hi,
I've created a spreadsheet for the 15 contestants we have so far,
including the first name (where it's know or I could guess), the handle,
the personal best (if given) and the date of entry into the contest. I'll
paste it here (I have no clue how it'll come across though). The order is
by decreasing PB. It's purpose is to give some overview.

I want enter too. Me with 8/9 balls for me is equal i have both patterns
at same point 25 catches are my record of 8b half shower and 9b cascade,
so... if you don't like our propositions we could make another race :).
But I hope it's not a problem, as Matthew says 8 (9) balls is really hard

Are you going to do 100 catches of 9B cascade soon? Wow, in database you
will be the third juggler after Thomas Dietz and Anthony Gatto:)
For me 7 balls cascade is very difficult, but training 9 balls.. it
requires lots of time and skill:)

Anyway, good luck:)

Oh no man xD! maybe in a year... or two xD But I'm sure that if I compete
I will train more my 9b cascade and that's good. I have good expectations
with my 9b cascade but nevertheless 7b is much easier, no way xD.

count me in, consistent flash at present

[candle cat rat]

I'm up for this,

consistent flash, imbalanced twenty-something PB

as for the 8-9 ballers,
instead of shaming us with your higher numbers,
I think you should have to do the 7 cascade, but with
the restriction of repeatedly chanting 'Kabadi'
and looking directly in to the camera.

In that case I will try and get 7 down too then. I had a shot outdoors, so
my best is 14 catches (about 20 attempts to get there though).

[Bekah.Smith]

Oh what the hell...sounds like a fun challenge. I can only flash 7 right
now, and even though there's very little chance that I'll get to 100
catches any time soon, I'll use this as incentive to work on it!

I got 9 catches yesterday with a perfect pattern and a clean finish. I had

see anything. I'll try again tonight indoors probably.

Ooh my current record is 37 so I have a slight head start but I'm not

much motivation. I can flash just about on command but no more than that.
So what I propose, for anyone who can flash 7 balls, or is learning, or
would like to learn. Is a race, the first person to 100 catches on video
wins.
It may take a few months or even a few years but someone will get there.
Time starts.....NOW
Jacob:Sacher

And as inspiration for everyone, heres someone doing it for 484 Catches!!

OK I'll follow Aymeric's example and post an update:

Today, during my lunchbreak at work, I managed to repeat my personal best
of 21 throws, reasonably clean (I think I had to take one step forward to
collect the last ball).

So not exactly what you'd call progress, but it felt good, almost like
juggling 7 :-).

Hey! that's exactly what I'd call 'progress'. People are too concentrated
on counting cathes and missing more important things about their
patterns...
Same with their lives ;D

Update #2:

I just came back from my lunchbreak which I usually use to juggle.
Increased my personal best to 23 catches.
Major improvement noted: Looks like I'm starting to be able to correct
minor (read: VERY MINOR) mistakes in the pattern and keep juggling.

Steffen

BTW: I only consider collision-free runs with a clean finish for my
personal bests.

I might as well try this also. Although my main goal this summer should be
writing a thesis, learning seven balls sounds more fun.

Current PB = 29 catches.

Out of curiosity: What kind of thesis are you supposed to write?

Its for an M.A. in criminology. I shall refrain from going into detail
here but lets just say its less fun than five balls...

Why not time everybody from when they first qualify to when they reach 100
catches? This way it'll be more fair, and people in a couple of years'
time will be able to also compete. Sure, there will be cheaters, but you
can't stop them.

[robfirey]

Count me in

Good idea, I saw a few attempts from people on jtv so why not.

Don't really do balls so not that motivated, maybe this is the thing to
help motivate me.
PB somewhere around 19

Tomorrow is juggling wednesday again! Yay!

I'm 7th! Darn...

Time to step up. 70% sure I'm going to smash my PB this time though,
hopefully on camera.
