Russian 67/75mm bullet

Comment / Question

Answer
beginner in number
I want to learn how to juggle 5 or more balls in the future.
Are they suitable or should I continue with "normal" balls like sil-x, grain balls or even stage balls (65mm/70mm are the diameters suitable for my hands)

  Re: beginner in number
  That's a very good question! Personally, I learned with soft balls. K-cube type balls are perfect for my taste for learning. Or other balls of the same type. 110 grams is heavy enough for the balls to be stable in the air, their touch is pleasant, they soften a little over time which will make them easier to juggle and more comfortable. SRX-type balls require a lot more attention to body position and throw quality. If the throws aren't clean, the balls will spin in the air and become impossible to catch. Personally, I find that there's already enough to manage when you're learning 5-ball without having to manage your body position and the quality of each throw. But I think that not everyone will agree with my opinion because forcing good body posture and clean throws will also require doing everything correctly and in the long term this will surely allow better progress even if the progress risks being much harder at the beginning. In my case, I think that it would not have helped to encourage me, but for someone very technical, it may be interesting to start their 5 balls directly on srx type balls.

Answer
Russian effect of 67 mm
For a 5 ball or more, is the "Russian" effect less pronounced on this diameter than on the 75 or 78 mm?

  Re: Russian effect of 67mm
  I started the debate with my juggling buddies! And the debate is intense, but the conclusion seems unanimous. We think that regardless of the size of the ball with 1/3 filling, we should have an identical Russian ball effect. Then there is the thickness of the shell of the ball which must play a tiny bit. We say that the "Russian ball effect" should be the same for the 3 sizes of SRX balls. The truth is that it would have to be calculated for each size of SRX to give you a scientific answer that holds water.
  On the other hand, the size of the ball will give a different feeling between a small ball and a larger ball, but a priori the Russian ball effect should be the same.

Answer
filling
Good morning,
Can the cap be easily removed to change the filling volume or even change the filling type?

  Re: filling
  The cap can be removed and replaced very easily. Be careful, however, because the opening is tiny, it is impossible to put things larger than the size of the opening :-)

Answer
Russian bullets
SRX, Norwik or DBs, which are ultimately real Russian balls because Play has innovated but you specify elsewhere that the Russian ball effect is more accentuated with the SRX, it seems paradoxical. Do they require even more "clean" juggling? but for what purpose?
THANKS

  Re: Russian Bullets
  Good morning, Perhaps I don't always express myself in the best way when writing my bullet descriptions. Especially on Russian bullets where the differences are subtle. SRX balls reproduce the Russian ball effect but compared to all the other Russian balls I sell the shell of the SRX is different: it is soft, flexible, squishy. On other Russian balls like the Norwicks, the DBS, the shells are made of plastic that crushes to the touch but harder to the touch and thinner. The shells of the DBS and Norwiks are much thinner and lighter, they are like the shells of ball pool balls. SRX are heavier than traditional Russian balls. A Russian ball juggler will generally start with a heavy Russian ball like the SRX and gradually lower the weight of his balls until he ends up with a very very light ball like the Norwik or the DBS.

  Re: Russian Bullets
  So is it still worth starting with SRXs to get started with Russian bullets as you mentioned?

  Re: Russian Bullets
  If you want to be extreme, if you are determined to develop pure technical juggling. If you are not afraid to force yourself for 1 or 2 weeks to juggle with balls that you will not like at first, then the DBS balls will be perfect for you. Remember to have a good body position, legs slightly bent. The movements start from the elbows, do not let the arms rise. Blow out and empty your lungs before throwing the first ball, this will force you to breathe while juggling otherwise we tend to hold our breath when we start juggling and then when we are forced to inhale it creates a jerk.
  If you want a smooth transition, switching to the SRX can be interesting. It doesn't have the exact feel of a Russian bullet, but it leaves more room for error. Its shell is heavier than that of a Russian bullet like the DBS or the Norwik.

Answer
SRX 75
Hi Matthew, the SRX 75 has a somewhat "sticky" hull, which makes it difficult to do certain multiplexes and start at 7 balls. Do you have any ideas on how to make the hull a little smoother, like the 67's?
THANKS

  Re: SRX 75
  Hey hey! There is a technique to soften the texture of the balls and make it all soft and pleasant! It consists of very delicately wiping it with a cloth soaked with a tiny bit of acetone... Protect your hands well and from the fumes of this unpleasant product to use. Test it on a ball first. It's really very delicate and light as an application. This will permanently remove the shiny side of the balls and give them a very soft and matte appearance. On the other hand, it will also remove their flashy shiny appearance. At your own risk!

Answer
Very good balls
They are very pleasant to the touch! A little big for my taste, but they do the job very well!
I recommend the color combo: red-orange-yellow, for pretty mills mess ;-)

How to reinflate them?
Hello, I just received my balls, but they are not all inflated the same way (probably due to transport).
How do I properly reinflate them? Any other maintenance tips for these balls?

  Re: How to reinflate them?
  There's no "inflation" on these balls. We're missing your message! I invite you to contact us by phone so we can discuss things together. You'll find our contact information at the top of the site.

comparison srx75 and implosion 78
Does anyone have any idea what the difference is between the 75mm SRX and the 78mm Implosion?
Thank you all.

  Re: comparison srx75 and implosion 78
  These are not the same bullets at all. Silx Implosion bullets have a thicker shell than all SRX bullets. Silx bullets have a fine quartz sand filling. Silx bullets have a liquid silicone filling.
  
  SRXs have a very pronounced Russian ball effect. The stops are sharper and the ball trajectories will be cleaner than if the throws are "perfect", that is to say with a movement that starts from the elbow and not the wrist.
  The silex have the Russian ball effect but since the silicone moves in a liquid way in the ball, this prevents the balls from shaking and this will soften the ball trajectories regardless of the juggler's level. In addition to having the Russian ball effect, they will facilitate the integration of contact juggling into juggling.
  Matthew.

Answer
[SRX67]diameter 72
It would be good to contact Play to suggest that they make the SRX in diameter 72 which would be an intermediate size.

Answer
[SRX67]SRX VS soft ball+
Many of you have asked us the following question:
What is the difference between the Softball+ and SRX balls??? I have already played with the Softball+ and I think they are great but I don't know the SRX...
To try to answer you, the SRX are similar to the Russian balls but with a slightly different design and comfort. The only thing in common with the soft ball+ is their shell which is the same, so they have the same softness to the touch. On the other hand, the SRX are filled with fine quartz sand, in very small quantities, which allows, like the Russian balls, to place the center of gravity at the bottom of the ball at all times. This allows for very "clean" ball trajectories. Be careful though, to be able to benefit from the potential of these balls, you have to relearn how to juggle with a ball, the movement must be done only with the forearms so that the balls do not "twist". This juggling technique is taught at the Kiev Circus School. This is a Russian circus school. In 1961, a studio was opened in kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. Since 1975, it has been an independent circus school. In 2008 at the Carvin convention, we saw a juggler from this school juggling 10 Russian balls, a truly impressive feat.
Since this year, jugglers using this technique have competed at the WJF (World Juggling Federation) championships.
The SRX are interesting to use from 5 balls, if you juggle with less than 5 balls or up to 5 balls, we advise opting for the soft ball+ balls
Happy juggling ;-)
