Soft juggling balls: Discover the Varana balls.
Soft balls, robust and durable for indoor and outdoor use.
These balls are ideal for beginners because they are robust and flexible to the touch which makes them pleasant to handle.
They are the favorite balls among professional jugglers or experienced ones to juggle with a lot of balls at the same time because they are light and of a diameter allowing a greater margin of error than large balls.Our favourite is the Varana 441 ball which adapts to everyone: beginner children to experienced jugglers. You can choose it ready to use or save money by opting for the fill-in yourself version.

By size/use
This way of classifying balls is subjective... But it still gives an idea and a direction!
- Beginner or number / Ø62 to Ø70mm
Whatever model you choose here on these small diameter balls, you will have top equipment to learn to juggle! Among the Varana balls, there is an empty version to fill yourself which allows you to save $! And the other version (millet) has already been filled with care and love with our little hands! The millet filling in the balls gives a soft, supple, fluffy, fluffy, etc. feel. The 65mm diameter will be perfect for children and the smaller diameters for small children!
- Ø74mm and Ø75mm up to 7 balls
I tend to say jokingly that 74/75mm diameter balls are the “perfect diameters”. This is a very visual ball size for making a scene. The 6 and 7 ball start (with 3 or 4 balls in one hand) remains accessible even for hands that are not too large. Compared to larger diameters (like 78mm), it becomes difficult to throw the first balls. Visually we don't really see the difference between a 75mm bullet and a 78mm bullet. On the other hand, we really feel the difference when we juggle them in numbers!
- Ø78mm / Up to 5 balls
A diameter of 78mm starts to feel really big in the hands. I would say that 78mm remains very pleasant and comfortable to juggle up to 5 balls, but on the other hand beyond 5 balls, it requires a lot of juggling technique to be comfortable.

Juggling with balls

Choose your balls:
If you don't know which ball to choose because you're a novice... choose the soft balls, in our opinion they will not disappoint you.
The 65mm Varana 441 ball have an ideal diameter, both for the small hands of children and for those of adults.
Associations and schools, if you don't want to have to renew your soft balls every year, it is worth spending a little more and opting for these soft balls, which will have a better lifespan than grain balls.
