Once you’ve gotten 4 balls down and you think to yourself “it’s time for me to learn how to juggle 5 balls”… you’re in for a treat. 5 balls took me a REALLY long time to learn how to do. It’s way faster than 3 and 4 balls, and you need to throw the balls higher.

One of the little “juggling secrets” for mastering 5 balls is practicing with the “3 ball clap” that I show in this video. You’ll start with just 3 balls and you throw them all up higher than your normal 3 ball pattern and all of them are thrown quickly. Once the first three throws happen, you’ll have nothing in your hands.

That’s when you “clap” your hands together. By doing this, it shows you the whole secret to mastering 5 ball juggling. The hardest part for me is not hitting the balls when you are learning. As you do this, you’ll get a little more comfortable with the throws. Once you get good at the 3 ball clap throws, it’s time to practice 5 balls.

One thing to keep in mind is that it’s going to be very difficult so make sure you don’t get too down on yourself while you’re practicing.

This isn’t one of those things where you can just practice for 30 mins and have it, you’ll need to practice and practice more and more to make sure you get it.

As long as you stick with it though, you’ll be able to juggle 5 balls in no time!

Here’s another technique that you can practice to help get the timing down for juggling 5 balls.
