What diabolo will be more appropriate for you ?
Choosing a Finesse or a Circus ?
Size : Ø 135mm
Weight : 245g
Size : Ø 130mm
Weight : 300g
The difference? The Circus diabolo weighs 55 grams more than the Finesse. The Finesse diabolo is 5mm longer than the Circus diabolo! Honestly, the size difference doesn't matter much. A first selection criterion will be the weight of the diabolo. For a child who generally practices long hours and intensely, a lighter diabolo such as the Finesse will be more appropriate. For a teenager/adult, the choice is less easy to make because both are excellent diabolos.
Diabolo sets:
The Finesse and the Circus each have their respective sets.
The Finesse can be equipped with a wide axis, LED sets, a weight set, a flashy decoration set and a fire set.
The Circus has several LED sets and several special axis sets. Its axis sets are more intended for experienced users.
In conclusion, the Finesse has more sets for "regular users" and the Circus more sets geared towards professionals or experienced diabolists.
Finesse or Circus?
Our experience leads us to the following conclusion: the only notable difference between the two diabolos is their weight. The Finesse is lighter than the Circus. Choosing between Finesse and Circus is a matter of taste. It will be impossible to be disappointed because both are excellent diabolos.
This is the conclusion that you will find everywhere on the internet, on forums, in juggling conventions too, everyone has their reasons for having a preference for one model over another.
Juggling with 3 diabolos and more:
Many diabolists who practice with several diabolos tend to use the Finesse because it is lighter than the Circus. But if you adapt the Ultralight axis to the Circus, you will end up with a more pleasant configuration than that of the Finesse to practice with 2, 3 and more diabolos.
To practice with 2 diabolos:
Many of you ask us the following question: can we use two different diabolos to practice with two diabolos at the same time? If you give two different diabolos to an experienced diabolist, he will manage to juggle with two different models. He will struggle to keep them straight, but he will manage. On the other hand, if you are a beginner, it is better to use two identical diabolos to practice with two diabolos. If your budget does not allow you to opt for a Finesse diabolo or a Circus diabolo, there are very good alternatives. The Vision is a favourite for getting started with two diabolos.
You can also embark on a two diabolos adventure with the Henrys' Jazz. Other diabolos such as the Arlequin Medium, or the Comet by Play can allow you to practice with two diabolos, but it's really not going to be easy because compared to the other models they are "toys"!
Hello, since I'm 10 years old and I'm not too bad at diabolo (suns, genocide, horizontal, bag drop, elevator (normal and mini), whip, magic knot, slides, trapezes, satellites, etc.), I was wondering which diabolo I would need to continue improving?
ps I have a diabolo from the brand "funtrix".
Thanks in advance!!
The Funtrix diabolo is a good diabolo for beginners, but if you want to progress, you will certainly need something bigger: Here are some diabolo options to explore and discover: Finesse, Circus, and Vision. There are several types of diabolos: standard diabolos and ball-bearing diabolos. Take the time to read some descriptions and comments on my website. You'll find the answer to your question!
I admit I have 3 circus and 2 finesse, both are very good but the circus is meow good for the 2nd and 3 diabolo than the finesse but if we tested the 2 we see that the circus is good for the 1 diabolo because with my circus I did it for 3 hours I have more arms than with the finesse I have practically nothing
Indeed, because the Finesse is lighter. However, there are kits to lighten the Circus, which makes it really nice for 2 or 3 diabolos. Many high-level diabolists use the UltraLight kit with their Circus diabolo.
