How to Practice
The windmill is a 3-ball juggling pattern where the arms move in a circular motion while throwing the balls.
All throws follow a reverse cascade direction, from outside to inside.
It is an important step toward learning Mills Mess.
【How the Pattern Works】
- All throws go from outside to inside (reverse cascade)
- One arm moves over the other in a circular motion
- The arms continuously rotate in a smooth loop
This creates the flowing motion characteristic of the windmill.
【Practice Steps】
1. Master the reverse cascade
- Get comfortable with outside-to-inside throws
- Keep a consistent height
2. Practice with 1 ball
- Move your arm in a large circular motion while throwing
- Focus on smooth arm movement
3. Try 3 balls
- Keep your arms moving continuously
- Practice slowly and steadily
【Common Mistakes and Tips】
- Throwing inside to outside → Maintain reverse cascade direction
- Stopping arm movement → Keep arms moving continuously
- Collisions → Keep throw height consistent
【Tips for Improvement】
- Fully master reverse cascade first
- Focus on arm movement over speed
- Use large, slow circular motions
- Record yourself to check form
【Practice Time Guidelines】
- Get comfortable in a week
- Achieve single success in 2 weeks
- Build continuous control in a month
