A note from Phil Wilson, Owner of Momentum98:
Here's how to use the balls. I use the old English terms Crook and Pluck.
First, some definitions: For the right hand, the palm is Plateau 1. The space between the little finger and the 2nd finger is Plateau 2. The space between the middle finger and the index finger is Plateau 3.
Most people only practice Stage I - simply moving the balls in the hand. Stage II challenges you with crook and pluck techniques to keep the balls from touching. There are more advanced stages too.
Stage II:
Stretch your right hand, put Ball 1 in the palm (Plateau 1), and Ball 2 near the tip of the middle and index fingers (Plateau 3). Keep 2' space if possible. Place your thumb on Ball 2, close your hand with the little fingers grasping Ball 1. Release Ball 1 to Plateau 2, use your middle finger to separate the balls, then 'throw' Ball 2 to the palm. Slide Ball 1 from Plateau 2 to Plateau 3 and repeat. Eventually, you can speed up.
For best results, keep the balls on Plateaus 2 & 3 close to the finger tips and maximize the distance between the two balls. When done properly, you'll feel the muscles in your hands, wrists, arms, and shoulders working. Remember: Stretch while crooking!
