Minimal LX-12: A juggling ball with a simplified design
The Minimal LX-12 is designed with a two-panel design inspired by the iconic tennis ball structure. Each panel, shaped like a curved rectangle with soft, symmetrical "hips," comes together to create a surprisingly round sphere! Sure, if you squash it, it becomes a potato, but like any soft ball. This model offers a smooth surface, with minimal seams, making it one of the softest and most pleasant to the touch balls in our range.
A ball with a silky feel and an innovative design, designed for all jugglers looking for finesse and fluidity.
NetJuggler's opinion
With its two perfectly aligned panels, the Minimal LX-12 guarantees an optimal spherical shape while limiting seams. This design offers a soft and homogeneous surface, ideal for fluid performances. The minimalist structure of this ball makes it a unique model. We are initially doubtful, it must be said that the aesthetics are not convincing, but there is a little something linked to the touch with this ball that makes it easy to be tempted to spend a lot of time using this model. In my office I have lots of different ball models and yet this is the model that I most often grab to hold in my hand and throw in the air while I work behind the computer.

The wider seam is the final hand-sewn seam of the ball. It can be seen here near the top of the photo on the left side of the ball as I hold it in my hand. This seam always stands out on all fabric balls. On my site I try to always have at least one of these seams visible so you can see this important finish on a softball.
A Story of Perseverance
This model is the result of many experiments and exchanges with the juggling community. During its design, we encountered doubts about its viability, but the positive feedback on comfort and performance during testing convinced us to continue. Today, the Minimal LX-12 embodies an innovative and minimalist approach to juggling, offering a tactile and technical experience.
