Overall these are very good juggling balls. The only thing I would say is that they are all not the same size and weight. Other than that they are great for practice and have been quite durable.

The problem with this product is that the 3 balls were not the same size and weight. One ball was big and heavy (relatively speaking), one was small and light, and one was in between. Having balls of different weights makes it harder to throw the balls accurately. As a result, your balls will go to different heights and your juggling will look amateurish. It will probably also take you longer to learn new tricks because you can't throw accurately. In addition, it's just annoying to have that lopsided feel as you juggle. All the manufacturer would have had to do was just make sure to put the same number of plastic beads in each ball. How hard could that be?

I would recommend that you spend a little more and get better quality balls. Or alternately spend less -- forget bean bag balls and buy some cheap rubber balls. They will be the same size and weight as each other, and they will feel better as you juggle. If you drop them as you juggle, you will have to chase them. But you can fix that by juggling over your bed; when they drop they will stay put.

They came a little stiff, but after playing around with them for a day I was pleased at how easy they were to handle. Although I don't do any fancy tricks, I am pretty rough with juggling balls. I do more than just juggle, including throwing them at friends in games or catch, or just throwing them against cushions to relieve stress.

Due to these activities, I am noticing the stitching becoming a little stretched. I am a little concerned about it, but so far they are holding up mighty well. They don't cost much so if they do break it won't be much hassle to order another set.

I would prefer a little more give (seem to hold their shape more than I think a bean bag ball should), but more than adequate for my limited juggling ambitions.

I haven't been juggling for long, and most of my juggling experience is contact juggling, but these balls are suitable for a beginner. The size is decent, the build quality isn't TOO terrible, the main problem is consistency. The fillings can vary pretty greatly, and so can the shapes. This shouldn't be too much of an issue for beginners doing simple cascades, showers, etc, but once you get into more complicated tricks it can be an issue. I ordered 2 sets and I ended up getting 3 that are perfectly even, still cheaper than a single high quality beanball.

My son learned to juggle over the holidays but I was getting tired of all the clementines and apples that ended up smashed on the floor. I looked all over for these in the stores but not one to be found. Items arrived and were just what I was looking for.

I would have liked to know that the balls appeared to have been repaired. They work, but each ball appears to have been re-sewn on a seam. This makes them not smooth. It would have been nice to know this info in advance and I probably would not have purchased balls in this used condition.

The balls are a nice size and weight for juggling or learning to juggle. If you can't tell the exact size which I couldn't from the pictures, the balls are about the size of a tennis ball, maybe slightly smaller. They are a little stiff when you begin to use them but they seem to break in quite easily. The inside of each ball contains a plastic bag with a bean bag type material inside. The corners of the plastic bag inside can be felt from the outside of the ball's vinyl skin but that will soften as the balls are broken in. The set came with juggling instructions which I found to be very helpful. The one problem that I had with the set, was that after juggling with them (on carpet) for about three or four times within first week of receiving them, the seam began to open on one of the balls. Instead of going through the hassle of returning them, I super glued the seam back together and the ball is as good as new. So beware when purchasing this set but otherwise, they work as intended.

These are awesome. I bought two sets so I could juggle four. Yes, they are slightly different in how full they are but it isn't enough to affect your juggling.

They're balls made for juggling and they do just that. One of the balls didn't have as much stuffing as the others and the balls are not as round as the picture would lead one to believe, but that doesn't much affect it's balance for juggling. The only thing amazing is that I think I've said balls more times in this review than in all of my others combined. They work well but there's nothing too special about them.

I should note that they come in a clear-plastic tube that can be reused for storing the balls.
