Juggling two with the non-dominant hand is so hard. Much harder than juggling three balls. There's something fundamentally different about using your non-dominant hand independently as opposed to in coordination with your dominant hand. I can use my left for many things: juggling, typing, playing guitar etc., but as soon as I try to do it with my right hand behind my back I feel incredibly weak.
It would be so useful to have two right hands. I'm curious whether you think getting over the hump helps with ambidexterity in general.
When you taught, what was a typical uptake like?
I came in and out of 'actively juggling' through time, but I was at least 20 years with strong two in my off hand before four really started to do four for any real number of throws.
The perpetual issue was that the loops move in and out of sync, so the rhythm of responsibilities ends up with beat patterns that confuse my focus.
