Questions & AnswersI've taught you how to juggle a single spin club pattern. Now we're going to work towards a double spin pattern. The only difference is that the club is going to go a little higher and spin a little more. It takes a long time to be able to get used to seeing what is a single, what is a double and what is a triple spin, but as a juggler, it is your responsibility to know. So, you may just want to practice with one club until you're sure what the spin is. If you catch one backwards like this, try to be able to identify did you over spin it or under spin it, so then when you make your next throw, it's fixed. As I told you in last clip, your arm controls the height, and your wrist tension controls the spin. So to throw a double versus a single, you'll want to put more arm strength into it to get it higher, and tense your wrist a little bit more to make sure it spins around. You won't want to tense your wrist very much because, technically compared to the height, the spin is relative. But it will take just a little bit more flick to get the spin all across. Otherwise you may end up with kind of dead fish like that. Once you have that down, pick up your three clubs, and start with a single spin cascade. Once you're solid in your cascade, try throwing just one double, from each hand, and then work your way up, eventually, to being able to do all doubles. As you get confident with doubles, you'll see that you can manipulate how high they are with how much tension and arm strength you use. I can throw doubles here, or here, or here. Now you see I'm catching them backwards, so I'm not actually throwing accurate doubles, there we go. And those, some of those were triples. I can identify that, but that means I was throwing it wrong. Again, you need to really work on being able to control your arm strength and the tension in your wrist to get an accurate double out.
