75mm Silx Hybrid

Item sold individually - All colours of the Hybrid ball are UV reactive except the white and the red ones.

SilX hybrid version:

The SIL-X Hybrid ball consists of a shell of a Sil-X (originally a ball containing liquid silicone) which has been 80% filled with millet (a seed). This version of the Silx Hybrid has a diameter of 75mm which makes it also suitable for juggling with more than 5 balls where its colleague which has a diameter of 78mm is more used up to 5 balls.

The fact that the ball is not 100% full allows it to have good trajectories in the air. It's a ball that sits well in the hands and excels at making stops: it stops dead.
It is what we sell best for juggling with the foot because it stops dead when it lands. It will also roll very little on the ground after a fall.

Allows you to carry up to 6 balls like these. The bag will be automatically added to your order when being prepared if you order at least 5 of these balls. :-)

Netjuggler's opinion on the Silx Hybrid ball:

"An extremely versatile ball, excellent for most styles of handling." Liam Wilson

They are heavier than the Sil-X of the same size, allowing them to glide, slow down, make smooth movements, feel and react to the dynamics of the ball. This ball allows a "conversation" between the juggler and his balls. There are surely certain styles of juggling where the weight would be a disadvantage - they can be tiring when practicing with more than 5 balls for example.
They roll very well and allow for easy blocking. You quickly feel at ease working on new tricks that you have sometimes been stuck on for several years.

What kind of use ?

The Silx Hybrid is ideal for 5 balls and more. If you are a beginner, NetJuggler advises you instead to opt for the Varana 441 ball.

Netjuggler's opinion on the hybrid ball:

This is a very subjective opinion, but it has become my favourite juggling ball, I juggled with normal 78mm Sil-Xs for a long time before juggling with 78mm Hybrids. With the 75mm version, all the tricks are executed more smoothly. I was a fan of big balls and this ball diameter which wedges between the 67mm and 78mm Play balls is very appreciable. It may seem strange, but a few millimeters have a significant impact on the comfort of juggling. Many jugglers have a weakness for 75mm diameter balls.
