- Hello all
- I've been juggling 3-ball (& trying clubs) for a
- while now, and have been wondering if there is any possibility
- of injury from the repetitive catching that necessarily goes on.
- One hears a lot about such problems from keyboarding these days,
- and since I have a malformed & mechanically awkward right hand
- I pay attention to this!
-
- I've just had a fortnights break from keyboarding (Christmas/New
- year), and have been doing a fair bit of juggling. I notice that I
- still have (occasionally) the slight soreness & tingling in my
- palms and fingers that I associate with too much/bad typing. Has
- anyone else had experience of this? Am I catching badly? What will
- happen when I try clubs for real? (I know my hands may well get
- _sore_ from this, but that's not what I mean).
