For those, however, who think of taking up clubs as a change and a variety in their ordinary juggling routine, one size and weight will be found sufficient. The form and weight of these articles are of the utmost importance for one taking up seriously the Art, and requires very mature deliberation. The aspirant will by this time have found the inconvenience attendant upon changing the size and form of articles used in practice after they have become familiar to his hand. This applies with equal or greater force to the branch we are now dealing with. The weight of clubs varies considerably, and is largely a matter of personal preference.
Some Jugglers prefer comparatively heavy ones while others fancy lighter ones.
Of course a good deal depends on the age and strength of those they are intended for. A boy or girl of ten or twelve could not be expected to wield clubs suitable for a man. For very young people wicker-basket clubs are very appropriate. A few words on the manufacture of clubs may be acceptable. Regarding their construction, there are several ways of making clubs or having them made.
