Speed juggling

Speed juggling is juggling combining fast throws and throws at a low height in order to maximize the number of catches per unit of time. Speed juggling of clubs often includes throws with a high rotation speed.

== Speed passing ==
In speed passing competitions, six clubs are passed between two people attempting to complete the most passes in a set time (video example).
== World records ==
Speed juggling and slow juggling world records with publicly available video evidence:Note: For timed records on Juggle Wiki, the start time is when an object first leaves a hand (based on JISCON rules). The end time for speed & slow juggling records is one minute after the start time. Catches are only counted if they are made between the start and end time. As a result, there may be slight discrepancies in the number of catches compared with records tracked by other organizations, such as Guinness, which may have different rules for determining the start time.
(Note: For records on Juggle Wiki, the low throws/passes in shower patterns are not counted, so using the shower pattern is not a good way to set speed juggling records.)
