Sil-X lightened in 75mm:
At first glance, the SIL-X is a stage ball, and this is absolutely true except that its characteristics are quite special. The plastic is flexible and 1/3 the volume of the ball is filled with Liquid Silicone. This places the barycenter of the ball at the very bottom of it, allowing very stable and precise ball trajectories on high throws. It also facilitates juggling with the feet as well as contact juggling and tricks at the level of the head. The principle is similar to that of Russian balls.
This ball is equipped with a very flexible and soft shell which allows to reduce the mass of the ball compared to a traditional Sil-x. If you are familiar with the whole range of balls from the manufacturer Play, you will recognize the shell of the Russian SRX ball.
The demand for this ball among experienced jugglers has been increasing in recent years. The juggling sensation is very similar to a Russian ball while retaining the advantages of liquid silicone, namely the fluidity of the silicone against the sudden movements of the sand quartz used in Russian balls.
The silicone is injected via an almost imperceptible valve which preserves the visual aspect of a stage ball. For curious jugglers, note that it is very difficult to push this valve inside the ball, but you are still advised not to try to force the valve inwards as it will then become unrecoverable.
Note that the silicone used is absolutely harmless and non-toxic since it is a silicone used as a lubricant in food (yuck!)
Allows you to carry up to 6 balls like these. The bag will be automatically added to your order when being prepared if you order at least 5 of these balls. :-)
NetJuggler's opinion:
Unlike all types of grain, the liquid silicone slides perfectly inside the ball so that even when the ball is sent rotating, it does not spin.
This 75mm diameter is particularly interesting for those who like to juggle with large, very visual balls with more than 5 balls. Indeed the 78mm diameter balls are very comfortable to use up to 5 balls. Beyond 5 balls some jugglers will be hampered by the size of the 78mm balls which are a little too big. This is where the 75mm diameter makes sense because this diameter is quite suitable for a 7 balls.
Characteristics of the SIL-X Light:
- Diameter: 75mm.
- Weight: 100g.
- Colours: Available in Red, Orange, White, Green, Blue, Yellow and Pink.
- Item sold individually.
What kind of use ?
The SILX Light 75 ball is excellent for experienced jugglers and for juggling with 5 or more balls. If you are a beginner, NetJuggler advises you instead to opt for the Varana 441 ball.

Very comfortable to hold, absolutely amazing, good for all types of juggling, very versatile, really a beautiful product, nothing to say.
With their lightness and very flexible shell, compared to the "classic" Sil-x, are they as stable whatever the figures?
All types of balls are stable. However, a lighter ball requires time to adapt so that certain movements can be corrected. Similarly, if you are used to juggling with heavier balls, you will have to relearn certain movements. Lighter balls require more precision, but will also allow you to extend your training sessions because they will be less tiring to juggle. I find it difficult to answer your question because the feeling is different for everyone. As I see it, if the balls are thrown with the same intensity as heavier balls and with the same movements, there will inevitably be a difference in feeling regarding the stability of the ball. But after a few weeks of juggling, you will no longer feel any discomfort.
Are the 75mm sil-x light as sticky as the 78mm?
Play is currently changing the finish on all its 75mm diameter balls. They will be matte. Some colors have already been changed. If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to call us directly.
Good morning,
I already have some small Sil-X that I really like. I want to move up to 75mm (5 solid balls, qualify at 6, flash at 7) but I'm really hesitating between light or not light.
I would definitely prefer a lighter ball. But is there a difference in durability? Is the light one less durable?
Thank you in advance
Yves
The Sil-x light are robust
In terms of durability, the Sil-x and Sil-x light balls are robust, they will lose their color over time and with the sun's UV rays, but you can go for it before breaking any. I'd be curious to have feedback on this, because I've never heard of a ball of this type breaking...Do not crush the balls
On the other hand, with the Sil-X light it's good to pamper them more than with the Sil-X because their shell is much thinner. Squeeze them less, if you really want them to have no "shock" maybe keep them in a box rather than in a bag. So they can't get crushed.A little tip on ball cleanliness
A little tip for colors: avoid storing different colors in contact with each other so they don't bleed onto each other, and avoid any contact with ink if you want them to keep their color well. All balls with PVC coating tend to absorb ink. For example, if you put them in a bag with a magazine or flyer in it, you risk ending up with the visual dyed on your balls.Good morning,
I would like to know if it is possible to increase the weight ourselves, the sil-x light 78mm are too big for me but have the weight I am looking for.
THANKS
Good morning, For the SILX, since there is liquid silicone inside, you will not be able to weight them. However, there are balls that you can fill yourself with the material you want, such as the Varana 441 , Varana 97531 or the Plug and Play .
Hello. Do the paints on these Sil-X lights (which seem different to me from the paint on normal Sil-Xs) rub off on each other if they are different colors? Please. I love the Sil-X lights, but I also like having balls of different colors.
THANKS.
Flo
Good morning, Indeed, colors can bleed, especially light colors (yellow, white, orange).
