Juggling balls


'Russian style juggling balls'

Story behind these balls...
It all started to happen in Turku almost two years ago. Kaitsu had useless ball shells and I asked him to bring them to Teku if we could make juggling balls from them. Well Kaitsu brought the shells but basicly I didn't do anything, I tried to think how to really make it good. It was Lauri Koskinen who really started to do somethin because he wanted to have a good set of juggling balls. Lauri made some prototypes, none really good, unfortunately. Then Sean Blue came to give some lessons at Teku and he had similar balls like these I'm having now, expect Sean's balls were way smaller. Anyway his ball's had excellent feel and coating. Lauri asked him to send the coating stuff from USA. After some months Lauri got the stuff and first set of these 'russian style' Turku balls was done by Lauri. I got my balls from him. Just excellent balls. Finally all the original shells and coating was finished and the story of these 'Russian style' Turku balls was almost finished.

After lot of work we have shells and coating again, so story of these filled, coated great 'Russian style' Turku balls continues.

I heard that you can't get the real 'Kiev balls' anymore. That even the Kiev jugglers can't get real ones anymore. So these balls make a good substitute. They are different but equal. Turku balls forever.
