Quick question. Is it easier to juggle 6 balls or 7?

I’m working on both right now. They both feel similar in difficulty up until the qualify. Extending runs beyond that, 6 is significantly easier.

Yes since it’s 1 less ball. 6 requires learning a specific technique of throwing with more of a scoop that you wouldn’t have developed leading up to 6, so it can seem trickier than 7 since 7 mostly feels like a much more difficult version of 5. But in the long term, 6 will be easier to get strong with.

Smaller numbers are easier than bigger numbers.

I feel differently than other post here. Sure 6 is smaller than 7 and less items in the air is less items in the air. But, the base pattern for 6 ball and 7 ball juggling are completely different. I have always found passing the balls back and forth (like the basic 3 ball pattern) much easier than keeping two independent showers going in each hand (like the 4 ball basic pattern). 5 was easier for me to learn than 4 and 7 feels more natural than 6 for me . This probably doesn’t help you much, but, at least a different outlook.

7 for me.
Consecutive selves are horror.
