PX3 Juggling Clubs

March 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment

There has been a lot of talk about PX3 juggling clubs lately. So what’s all they hype about? I’ll explain all that to you right here.

First of all, the construction of the PX3 juggling clubs is unique in that they are manufactured with a PVC pipe in the middle rather than a dowel of wood. This promises more uniformity and durability. It is true. I have cracked a juggling club in half that had a wooden dowel in the center.

Check out this illustration below to see the unique construction.

There are several different types of PX3 juggling clubs that range from the moderately priced to the more expensive. The lower priced clubs are less decorative and more likely to be used for practice than performance.

Let’s start by taking a look at the PX3 Sirius Club. It’s 225 gram club with a wrapped handle that is slim and soft. Play Juggling says it is their most popular club. This club is also know as the PX3 Pirouette.

Next let’s take a look at the PX3 Sirius Training club. This 230 gram club making it heavier than the previous club and it has a slightly slower spin due to the weight. It does not have a wrapped handle, but rather a one-piece handle called a “flex grip”. This is a great practice club.

The last club I wanted to look at is the PX3 Vegas. This is their most expensive and decorative club. This is a 225 gram club and it has a vacuum metal spraying decoration. This means the club is lighter and the decoration is more durable than a traditional sticker.

Cheap Juggling Clubs

January 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Cheap juggling clubs are easy to find. Just look on Amazon and you’ll find a set like the ones below.

You can’t get much cheaper than that. But you have to ask yourself, do you really want to juggle the cheapest (a.k.a. worst) clubs out there. If you are half serious about juggling, I wouldn’t recommend it.

One-Piece Juggling Clubs

There are other clubs that you can get that are not quite as cheap as the ones above but are a decent set of clubs to start with and still relatively cheap due to their one-piece construction. I’m thinking of the Higgins Brothers Spirt Clubs (pictured below):

These clubs are by Higgins Brothers and I know they are extremely durable. They’ll last you forever although they won’t feel as nice as some of the better clubs. This is because they are molded in once piece with plastic. This makes them a little harder on the hands.

If you are looking for cheap juggling clubs and you don’t want to go with the worst clubs out there, then I recommend these. They are still relatively cheap compared to the best juggling clubs but they are composite, not plastic mold. This makes them a little softer on the hands and more visually appealing.

Decorative One-Piece Juggling Clubs

Another option is the Higgins Brothers Euro Eclipse juggling clubs (pictured below). These are build on the same one-piece plastic body as the Spirit clubs, but they have a more decorative wrap. This makes them look like more expensive Euro style composite juggling clubs, but they are cheaper.

Conclusion

I hope that helped you on your quest for cheap juggling clubs! Let me know what you chose and how you liked them. It’s easy to find them if you look, but you might be disappointed with the quality unless you spend a little more on the Higgins Brothers juggling clubs like I recommend.
