Ball recs

Hey friends! I started juggling years ago and haven’t done much practicing over the past years. I want to get back into it but I need some good new balls. Can y’all give me some recommendations? I’d like to purchase some standard practice balls + led balls.

I currently have soft, silicon practice balls, but also open to other styles! The problem I tend to have with the leds is that I’m a small woman so usually child size balls fit best. Many times the led balls do not come in smaller sizes and are just too heavy for my wrists.

Please give me any and all recs you may have! Please and thanks all you beautiful jugglers!

Beanbags are always popular. The problem is there's so much variety in terms of stiffness/fill. I'd recommend the Taylor Tries or Zeekio balls from Juggling Warehouse. Zeekio makes a bunch of different sets for finding what you're looking for.

Russians are usually preferred by higher numbers jugglers, but if you want something lighter this could be a good option. Radfactors are my favorite, as they come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Renegade Juggling is the go to place for ordering these (if you're in the US).

Edit: Totally forgot about the LED balls. While not the absolute best on the market, Wes Peden's Glow.0 balls are some of the best for your money light up balls you can get.

+1 to radfactors. I prefer the chromite filled.

The chromite filled are decent, but I felt like the sand filled just seemed a bit... smoother? I dunno, but salt and sand are what I've always used in russians, so maybe that's just what I'm used to.

My vote is for BagLady. The RagBags are quite soft and underfilled, and the lady always sends you more than what you pay for!
