Is spending....

On some silicone juggling balls, perfect in form, perfect in colour, perfect in weight, highest bounce (for bounce juggling :roll: ).

I have 6 ): :yikes: ):

Personally I think £150 for 6 balls is too much. However I do not juggle so cannot really make an opinion about your choice.

You must have some lovely balls though mate.

If you are into juggling and you can afford them and they really are that good, but most importantly, you just have to have them, then I dont think it is too much.

Most people think a Surefire M6 costs too much for a torch, but I dont.

25 quid to juggle silcone balls! i payed lots more than that!!!!!! :rolmao:

 

[Andy]

anything small costing that much should either be sharpe or involve fire (bright light is also permitted)

Well i got a deal and had to try two different sets. It ended up on about £100 for a set of juggling balls! They are perfectly white and glow under uv which gives you glow balls! (instead of forking out another £30 on them).

As quoted they are the "rolls royce" of balls. ): Bought them a whie ago while i was employed!

each to their own.You earn't it,spend it however you like!

Justifying it to yourself is almost as hard as justifying to others

I'd never buy 'em now.

Hmm - not really a fan of juggling silicons myself, but then I'm not a bounce juggler, and thats one of the reasons most people like silicons. I also tend not to buy white stuff - great for stage work and performances, but you can't really ever use them for practising new stuff unless you're happy for them to get scuffed and marked, which makes them unusable for stage shows. :?:

However, when I do buy juggling equipment I do so through my local juggling club - as they tend to buy wholesale from juggling suppliers - our last order got a 40% discount on everything! (giving me an excuse to finally buy that second diablo and DX powerballs I've wanted for a while but been unable to financially justify )

Oh, wait, a Bushcraft forum you say... hmmm, can't help you there :rolmao:

Nothing you yourself like is a waste of money. I had one hell of a job explaining to my girlfriend that maxing out our shared credit card two days after getting paid on a bearskin was a good decision. But I've never regretted it - on the contrary.

 

[tomtom]

i would like to point out here that buying a woodlore then throwing it away in the woods is much more a waster of money

 

[JakeR]

I KNEW IT!!

:rolmao:

Match, Silicones are brilliant at resisting dirt, that another reason why they are so great, they're stain proof and very tough.

Yes - I'm not saying they're going to scuff up straight away - I just know from experience with an old set of white silicons I had, that I wished I'd also bought a non-white set that I could use to get good with, and save the whites for showing off my new-found skills... :roll:

NB - I can't be held responsible if you go and spend another 150 quid on a non-white set! :rolmao:

:yikes: :yikes:

Hmmm, those babache's look nice......

I've just decided that i only use silicones really when showing off. I've just bought 5 black 63mm babache bean bags. Did a record 12 catches with five yesterday! And came up with a whole new four ball routine. ):
