Description

• SIL-X HYBRID 78 MM 180 GR
• SIL-X HIBRIDS is a standard SIL-X shell underfilled with millet seeds
• Although they have some ‘russian’ properties they are still well behaved during long-path bodyrolls and I have found them extremely useful for my research in this area.
• They are significantly heavier than Sil-X of the same size, which lends to smooth, slow, flowing movements, feeling and reacting to the momentum of the ball.
• One Juggling Ball (1)

SIL-X HYBRID 78 MM 180 GR SIL-X HIBRIDS is a standard SIL-X shell underfilled with millet seeds There’s no better way to describe the SIL-X HYBRIDS than our good friend Liam’s words. He’s been one of the very first to try these balls and we rely on him to give you the picture: I discovered them as I was going to buy a new set of Sil-X, after having used the same 78mm whites everyday for 5 years. Somehow I ended up with the 78mm Hybrids in my hands instead and decided to buy three and give them a try. They roll very truly and stall very solidly. I quickly found success with many tough synchronous stalls that I had been banging my head on for years before picking these balls up. Although they have some ‘russian’ properties they are still well behaved during long-path bodyrolls and I have found them extremely useful for my research in this area. For toss juggling they suit my style very well. They are significantly heavier than Sil-X of the same size, which lends to smooth, slow, flowing movements, feeling and reacting to the momentum of the ball. My thinking is that this creates more of a ‘conversation’ with the ball compared with lighter props which simply do what they are told and rarely have anything to say about it. : ) There are surely tpyes of juggling for which the weight is a disadvantage – they can be tiring to train 5 ball toss patterns, and certain styles using abrupt direction changes and rapid movements will be less favoured by this ball. Coming to talk about footwork, I don’t have a bad word to say. Hybrids are just sticking to my feet in a way that gives me great confidence in performing old tricks and learning new ones. They are basically as
