    Lately I've been doing some tricks with rubber superballs. Tricks such as the fingerpass and TA can be achieved pretty easily and it does look kind of neat. Just wondering if anyone else does this?

    I can do sorta of a fingerless pass. Its cool and entertaining. I like doing sleight of hand with it.

    what are rubber super balls? If you mean what i think you mean, then you wouldn't be able to do tricks with it because it's a round ball. but I've never heard that name b4 so i think it's different to what I think.

    super balls are just what I call any small (between 1-3 inches) rubber ball with a very high coefficient of restitution (bounciness).

    that's what I thought but how would you do tricks with that lol?

    over here we call them bouncy balls, for obvious reasons. Well, at least we do, I'm not surer about everyone esle.

    Its not easy to do tricks, and you can't really do combos. But you can do a fingerpass, TA, IA and some other stuff that doesn't really have a name.

    We call them "bouncy balls" over here too. tongue.gif

    With a ball, I would think that you would be doing something closer to a Coin Roll / Knuckle Roll, rather than Fingerpass.

    Uh, can someone make a video? I'm having a bit of trouble picturing someone do a thumbaround with a ROUND ball.
