Contact Balls
Contact is a discipline where patience plays an important role. To popularize, there are two types of practice: multi-ball where we will use several small balls at the same time and practice with one ball where we will try to have a rather large ball in the aim to "exaggerate" the visual effects. Several types of balls can be used.
- Stage balls: If you want to get started, this is the ball you need.
- Silx balls: 1/3 of the internal volume of these balls contains silicone to lower their center of gravity.
- Acrylic balls: They evoke dreams and mystery, it is an object of manipulation that has a lot of charm!

Thanks you Pich for the video excerpts of his shows.
The stage balls and SILX balls are made in Italy by Play.
Beginner? How to choose your balls?
If you are a beginner, we advise you to order a 100mm stage ball. It costs less than acrylics and is ideal for learning all basic movements without worrying about dropping / scratching your ball.
The large ball makes learning basic tricks easier.
There is something magical about acrylic balls, right? In a nutshell ... Smaller balls are generally used to make multiball where several balls are moving in the hands, as for the construction of "pyramids". Larger balls are recommended for making visual movements such as isolations.
