The circus school diabolo:
The Jazz diabolo is the diabolo that inspires all other diabolo manufacturers. Copied, but never equaled, the Jazz is built to last. It is suitable for beginners and professionals. It is found in many circus schools around the world.
The cups are flexible and designed to meet requirements worthy of the exemplary reputation of the German manufacturer Henrys.
The big news is that the hubs are made of plastic, which is better for aluminum handsticks.
This also allows a weight reduction of 30 grams, making the diabolo easier to handle and ideal for children.

What kind of use ?
Versatile diabolo, may be suitable for beginners and experienced jugglers.
NetJuggler tips:
If you are a beginner, NetJuggler advises you to take a reel of string with your order. Indeed, beginners with dry and jerky movements wear out the strings very quickly, in a few hours, where the same string can last a few weeks for an experienced diabolist. This may save you from having to pay shipping fees again when your string is worn out.

Why a medium-sized diabolo ?
If you have browsed our website a little bit, you will see that we regularly recommend medium-sized diabolos ... Why ? Small diabolos are very difficult to use because they immediately lose the speed given to them. Large diabolos are great but can be too heavy for younger children and they are more expensive. The medium-sized diabolos have an excellent value for money and are suitable for both young and not so young people to learn the basics of the discipline!
Can we change the axle of the diabolo?
Hello, I have been playing the ball bearing diabolo for a long time and I thought I would try the fixed axle one. I ordered the Jazz, but I can't get it to accelerate and by no means...
I am disappointed knowing that this diabolo costs more than the others.
Please give me some advice or explain the problem so I can use it.
Thanks in advance
Diabolo with bearings or not?
Fixed axle diabolos are different from ball bearing diabolos. Obviously, ball bearing diabolos are much easier to use. Fixed axle diabolos require a good mastery of the object . To simplify, ball bearing diabolos allow you to do a lot of things with 1 diabolo and they allow you to do a lot of vertax tricks since they allow for little friction compared to fixed axle diabolos.
Juggling with several diabolos
On the other hand, to practice with several diabolos at the same time, we mainly use fixed-axis diabolos which are much easier to use because they grip the string well. This is what makes it easier to accelerate several diabolos. However, at this time, we use large diabolos which are more stable and have better inertia.
Hello, I have already bought a Hurricane diabolo which I love by the way.
And I want another diabolo but without
Ball rolling and I hesitate between jazz and harlequin
Thank you for answering me
The Jazz diabolo and the Harlequin diabolo are medium-sized diabolos.
Why choose a fixed axle diabolo?
Fixed axle diabolos are more technical to use than ball bearing diabolos. They have the advantage of allowing you to practice with several diabolos because their fixed axle attaches to the string. When you see diabolists practicing with 2 or more diabolos, there is a good chance that they are using fixed axle diabolos. Except for a few exceptions with diabolists who practice at a very high level like Alexis Levillon who sometimes uses 2 diabolos equipped with bearings in some of his routines.
Why choose a diabolo with bearings?
Ball bearing diabolos are much easier to use than diabolos with fixed axles. They are quickly learned and do not require rigor to learn how to use them because they have excellent inertia with a rotation time up to twenty times greater than that of a diabolo with a fixed axle. They are a favorite among beginners and are also known for use in vertax when they are large (a difficult and very technical discipline where the diabolo is used with the axle vertical).
What is the difference between Henrys Diabolo Jazz Alu and jazz (light)?
Difference between Jazz aluminum and Jazz light
The difference between the aluminum Jazz and the lightweight Jazz is the mass of the diabolo. Indeed, the aluminum Jazz has aluminum "centers" and the lightweight Jazz has plastic "centers", which reduces its weight by about 30 grams. It will therefore be more suitable for younger children because it is less tiring to handle. The lightweight version also benefits from an advantage over the aluminum version, the centerlines being plastic they will wear less than the aluminum ones during tricks such as "slides" or "grinds" (tricks where the diabolo lands on the sticks).
Is it possible to make a knot on this diabolo because often on the fixed axle when you do it the string gets mixed up!
Yes, it is possible to tie a knot on this diabolo at the level of your string (1 turn of string around the diabolo). However, you must undo the knot before the diabolo gains too much speed. If the diabolo spins too fast, it risks getting tangled on the string. If you want to make many knots on your string, this becomes possible with diabolos with ball bearings on which it is possible to easily make 5 knots without the diabolo getting tangled.
Do the Jazz diabolos have ball bearings? Because I took the same one as a friend (a Jazz) and hers has a ball bearing and is less tight than mine which apparently doesn't have one and is tighter than hers.
Good morning,
There are three types of jazz diabolos: the Jazz Light (above), the Jazz Aluminum (http://www.netjuggler.net/acheter/diabolo-jazz-henrys.html), which are both fixed-axle diabolos; and the Jazz Free (http://www.netjuggler.net/acheter/diabolo-jazz-free.html), which is a triple-ball-bearing diabolo. You have the same choices with the Circus (Light, Aluminum, and Free).
The difference between these different axles is a personal choice depending on your diabolo practice (in particular, certain figures can only be done with a fixed axle and others only with a triple bearing).
Do not hesitate to contact us by email or telephone for any questions or advice.
