    • @crimpchomp1851
      @crimpchomp1851 6 лет назад +43

      Since nobody wants to answer, I can tell you that it would probably be easier to skip 15 and go straight to 16. However, it is ridiculously tough to catch synchronous balls (I know because I can juggle 6). So, though throwing 16 balls would be easier, catching 15 balls is substantially easier. At the end of the day, it will probably be 16 balls first thought because it is easier to have a fluke catch than a fluke throw haha

    • @anthonygod-ofan1875
      @anthonygod-ofan1875 5 лет назад +8

      Alex was able to juggle 13 balls way before he did 14. I dont see how someone who can juggle up to 6 balls could possibly think that 16 will be easier in any way shape or form than 15, you are misinforming the original commenter of this thread lol

    • @anthonygod-ofan1875
      @anthonygod-ofan1875 5 лет назад +6

      Also if synch throws are so "easy" why did Alex first do 14 balls asynch instead of throwing them in pairs? In most cases asynch is easier than synch. Synch is more of an exercise that makes the balls easier to track when you're first calibrating how you need to throw the balls. But when you're actually going for the records asynch saves you way more energy.

    • @anthonygod-ofan1875
      @anthonygod-ofan1875 5 лет назад +7

      Bottom line: 16 will NOT be done before 15, anyone who thinks otherwise has no idea what they're talking about.
      You have to juggle 8 balls with each hand, with both hands at the same time to do 16!
      8 balls is already considered a high number with TWO hands let alone ONE. If you think that 16 will be easier than a 15 just because you can throw then in pairs you must not known much about juggling.

      Juggling means that you do the same number of catches per ball as you have hands, so each ball makes a full run. So for two handed juggling, it's twice the number of balls as hands - 10 catches for 5 balls, 12 catches for 6 balls, etc.
      Flashing just means that each ball goes up once and comes down once, so 5 catches for 5 balls, 6 catches for 6 balls, etc.

    One thing I wanna mention, for the basic cascade pattern, like someone would do for a world record or what most people think of as regular juggling, odd and even numbers are different. Odd numbers, the balls switch hand with each throw. Even numbers, you are just doing one handed juggling with both hands. Yes, you can cross balls between hands, but the basic pattern that would be used to set the record that wouldn't happen. Juggling even and odd numbered balls are fundamentally different, I almost wouldn't be surprised to see 16 happen before 15.

      yeah you’re definitely not an experienced juggler. 15 would still be insanely easier than 16 theoretically. also 12 ball world record was accomplished with the balls crossing “wimpy” pattern

    • @Gretix500
      @Gretix500 6 лет назад +3

      Maniac50AE yes they focus on the zenith, not on their sides. But that's the point of peripheral vision, they still see the other balls falling in order to have that 'feel' of where they land as you said. And a way to have a better feel of this would be to have a better peripheral vision.

    • @Gretix500
      @Gretix500 6 лет назад +2

      Maniac50AE yes I might be wrong, but still he says "even though you're not looking at one ball in particular your subconscious is still taking in where they all are in the sky and where they're coming down" at 4:18 I don't know about you, but for me that's peripheral vision. But I might be wrong, and I'm no juggler so I don't know after all.

    • @PtylerBeats
      @PtylerBeats 6 лет назад +3

      It's a sub conscious vision. I can only juggle three, (I've never even attempted a higher number) but i just look at the arcs of the balls, and you kind of just know where they are going to fall. You don't watch the balls as you catch them. You can't move your eyes fast enough to watch every ball make it's full rotation. So you watch somewhere towards the top, then as one falls, you position your hand to where that ball will be. Then once your hand is ready for that catch, you watch for the next ball to fall, and you position your second hand while the first ball just falls into your first hand without having to think about it. With three balls, you could just use peripheral vision because it's not too many to juggle, but when you have 14 like this guy, peripheral vision isn't going to cut it. You kind of just have to know where to put your hands, then have faith that you know what you're doing. You'd be surprised at how well you can catch a ball without looking if you see where the ball is before it leaves your field of view.

    • @yechielblack9245
      @yechielblack9245 6 лет назад +1

    Wouldn't strapping the accelerometer to the wrist, as opposed to the back of the hand, cause significantly lower readings on speed? The hand is further down the lever and I'm pretty sure the relation isn't even linear. Also, factoring in the weight of the accelerometer versus the ball weight would affect results. I know that part is more for fun than for studying but it seems like an important oversight
