Equipment

A lot of Jugglers ask me questions about props such as "What clubs do you use?" or "What size balls do you prefer?"

I know that jugglers are always keen on finding out about what equipment others use. So, I have written this post to answer your questions!

An update

It's been awhile since my last blog post, I have been busy with all sorts of things happening in my life but I will try my best to keep this blog up to date from now. I have a few projects I want to work on and share with you all. This will be the place where I will first announce them.

But for now I would like to let you all know on a video project I am currently working on called 'Komatsubara Entertainment'. Yes, The name sounds familiar but I couldn't come up with anything so I just decided to go with this. Let's think of it as my very own version of Gatto Entertainment...

For those that didn't know about this you can catch up with episode 1:

Episode 1 is basically an introduction to what sort of juggler I am. Show casing a few of my favourite tricks.


And the latest episode 2:

Episode 2 is a show case of a few ring tricks + Footage of an attempt of a 7 ring pull down.


I'm thinking of changing things up a bit from episode 3 and onwards, Maybe adding a theme to each episode or having special guest appearances by other jugglers.

What do you guys think of the episodes so far?

What are some things you would like me to include in future episodes?
