What You Need to Know About Juggling Clubs

In order to properly choose the right juggling clubs for your level and style, you’ll need to understand some basic things about how juggling clubs are made.

There are three basic types of construction:

  • One-piece construction – These clubs are formed from injection molded plastic into a single piece. This makes the cheap to make and so they are cheaper to buy.
  • Composite construction – These clubs are constructed from multiple parts into a composite club usually consisting of a center wooden or PVC dowel with the rest of the club built around it.

Benefits of One-piece Juggling Clubs:

  • Cheaper than composite clubs
  • Basically indestructible when used for juggling
  • Can be waterproof
  • Can be scratch proof
  • Certain types have soft plastic so they don’t hurt your hands
  • Can be decorated to look like composite clubs

Cons of One-piece Juggling Clubs:

  • Can hurt your hands if made from hard plastic
  • Not usually as decorative
  • Known in the juggling community as beginner clubs

Benefits of Composite Clubs:

  • Typically look much nicer than one-piece clubs with their decorative styles
  • Softer on the hands
  • Soft end caps to protect the juggler
  • Finely balanced to suit different types of juggling

Cons of Composite Clubs:

  • Not indestructible, they are much more likely to break over time than one-piece clubs
  • Not scratch or water proof
  • More expensive
