Happy and Fun!
I just started juggling after doing a Jim Kwik Speed Reading course to improve my peripheral vision. These juggling balls are very durable and have a bean bag quality and are soft to catch. I am a small woman and got the 90g, which I found was perfectly weighted for my hands. I got the pink and yellow ones which are awesome! I began just tossing one ball in my hand for a full day, several times a day, and it was very relaxing and almost therapeutic--the feel and weight was great and natural. Then the next day, I used 2 and added a third. It took me about 4 days to start to get juggling all 3 of only about 30 minutes per day of use before I started juggling, but I still have a ways to go. I used theses only indoors so as not to get them dirty.As a beginner, I'm glad I decided to get from these from Speevers, as they made the experience very fun! They are definitely high quality. If you are a beginner, I think these are AWESOME. Other suggestions: watch any tutorial for juggling, give it some time, take breaks, put on some fun tunes and just do it. You'll get it!I definitely recommend Speevers juggling balls from for anyone!

Great feel, but not well matched
I really like these juggling balls; they feel good and sand doesn't stick to them. But I'm pretty annoyed with the ball to ball variability. Two are much more bean-bag-squishy like and the third is more tightly packed. I can't figure out an easy way to measure the difference but if I squeeze either of the good two between my thumb and forefinger my fingers get to within a half inch of each other, but on the stiff ball my fingers only squish in to an inch from each other. I hoped that it was just something to do with their breaking in, but it doesn't seem to be changing. I just weighed 'em and the two good ones weigh 64g and the tight one weighs 66g. I'm not worried that they're don't measure exactly 70g, maybe my scale is off. But I think the extra 2 grams of fill is what's changed the feel, and I've lost hope it'll "break in". I'm not annoyed enough to return 'em because the mesh surface feels really good and they're still way better than the bargain barrel bags that I had been using but for the $$ I expected a matched set.

I joggle with these (jogging/running + Juggling)
I've been juggling for a little over 3 months now, with $9 Duncan balls, and just upgraded to some 70g Speevers this last week.Despite being 70g balls, 20g lighter than Duncan juggling balls, these Speevers are actually slightly LARGER than the Duncans. The larger size makes catching them easier while joggling.The mesh net exterior is noticeably more comfortable than the pseudo-leather on the Duncans as well. When my hands get sweaty from running the balls don't get slippery and gross.I've joggled over 10 miles in less than a week since receiving these Speevers and let me tell you, if you're currently using any kind of hard, shiny or non-breathing material, such as leather or fake leather, or even fabric, these Speevers are going to be a huge upgrade. They feel so much better in my hands, especially after I start sweating.One last thing - I was suffering from forearm pain when I used the Duncans, but these 20g lighter Speevers have left my arms in perfect condition, no pain at all. 70g is a huge upgrade for comfort.

IDEAL weight for fun, Fun, FUN!
Learning to juggle was recommended to me when I was a teenager trying to get into the military as a pilot and IT WORKED.I had a set of the multi colored leather like balls and their covers started coming apart in messy paint chips (albeit after a couple of decades use).So this set was to replace them as I read that juggling will aid me in staying stable on my feet to prevent stumbling and falling down. It's one of the ultimate "drills" to aid your hand-eye coordination. Do NOT look at your hands! As Wayne Gretski famously said, "skate to where the puck's gonna be" you need to put your hands where the ball is gonna drop.Way better than tennis balls that WILL TRY TO ESCAPE, these nice "ball bags" will stop where they drop.

Seam Separation
Emailed Speevers and they kindly offered to send me a new set. I emailed them back my address and hope to have the replacement set soon! I changed my rating to 5 stars!After only 1 month of intermittent use, the seam of the outer covering material is coming apart!! I like the size and heft of the balls, but not the fact that one is "coming apart at the seams," so to speak...

Great workout and steadies erratic juggling
We bought the lighter version of these for general juggling practice and love them. I wanted something a little heavier to see if I could use my hobby as a little workout and found that yep they work your arms out which is great...and in addition they are so heavy they steady your juggling. If you lose control of the balls on occasion, the heavier ones help you juggle beautifully. The heavier ones are a lot of fun to juggle and learn new tricks with, keeps you from losing control as much as you do with the lighter versions.

Beautiful Design and Wonderfully Tactile
I LOVE this product! I started playing around with juggling a few months ago as part of a brain development experiment. I juggle in 5 minute increments. At first, I used balled up socks and then golf balls. On a lark, I bought the Speevers Xballs. All I can say is that from the first moment these touched my hands, I couldn’t believe it. The tactile sensation they provide make it a pleasure to juggle. Also, they are beautifully designed. One could leave these out as a conversation starter. I will be buying more of them as unique giveaways. Even if someone doesn’t juggle (hey...I didn’t used to...give it a try...it’s a fun thing you can do anywhere, anytime), they are cool just to have around.

Great weight and size
My husband says these make him a better juggler. I agree.They are also good for small hands if you get the 110 gram version which is a smaller diameter than any of the other weights. The fabric is slightly slippery. The texture is like a firm beanbag. You get three balls in a nice little mesh bag.BTW the color is brighter and more vibrant than the picture suggests.

Really good
Really good balls to learn juggling with. Shame they don't guarantee results though. 😂

Great for learning the basics of juggling.
I've been trying to learn to juggle for a few weeks now, and have been using a set of hacky sacks that I had around for some reason. They're too light (~60g) and inconsistent in weight, and I was having trouble making consistent throws as a result, and thus was getting frustrated with my lack of progress.I ordered these 120g balls and they work much better. The added weight, combined with the fact that their weight is very consistent, makes progressing much easier for a beginner like me. They are a bit slipperier than the hacky sacks, but that's not really a bad thing. They're also quieter in use than the hacky sacks, but louder when they hit the floor, due to the extra weight. They do stay put when they hit the floor, unlike any balls I've tried, which immediately roll under the closest piece of furniture.I would also recommend learning juggling (and other brain-intensive things like playing a musical instrument or learning a second language) while you're in your teens or 20's, as it gets much harder in middle age... Too late for me now, but at least this very decent set of juggling balls is making it a bit easier.

Great balls of fire.
Okay, not fire, but they are really well built, and are nice and soft, so they land in your palm very comfortably like a beanbag, unlike the slippery vinyl covered ones, these don't lose their shape, they stay round.The standard weight recommended for juggling balls by juggling websites is the 4.2 oz .The listing and reviews say they're extremely durable, but I only just bought them, so I can't comment on that, but they appear to be really well made, and the Speevers brand was somewhere around the top 5 on a juggling website, which is why I looked for this brand. Even if they last a year minimum, I think they're worth it, because the cheap ones that are half the price don't last very long at all, so you'd pay more in the long run with cheap ones.The only minor thing about these are that the fabric on the outside is a patterned weave in layers, so if you drop them, thins can get embedded in the fabric and you have to pick it out, but that design is probably so they breathe easier so they can dry out quicker if you get them wet or wash them, and so they stay soft. I would have bought one of the other colours of balls, but they were more expensive, minimum $6 more, and I didn't need colours enough to pay more.
