Information on this product

The SIL-X is the ultimate juggling ball. An elastic shell under filled with a very special fluid: 1/3 of its internal volume is filled with LIQUID SILICONE. The barycentre is low and the ball remains super stable on high throws and easy for foot catches and head rolling/balancing. The principle is similar to the Russian balls' although it's a very different ball. The LIQUID SILICONE, unlike any kind of sand or pellet filling, slides perfectly inside the ball so that even when the ball is thrown with a spin it doesn't wobble in the air. This special LIQUID SILICONE is totally non-toxic (normally used in the food industry as a lubricant), and therefore totally safe. This is undoubtedly the most advanced juggling ball on the market today. A truly unique PLAY invention that has conquered the hearts of thousand of jugglers for over a decade and keep making whole generations of new jugglers fall in love with SIL-X balls.

Description

SHELL

Our shells are made of 100% Phthalates-free soft PVC. They are available in 5 sizes and 2 different thicknesses for a total of 8 options. Extremely elastic, durable and easy to wash with any type of detergent. When you aren't juggling them, we recommend to keep your balls stored in a separate bag since PVC can easily get permanently stained getting in contact with inks from newspaper or pens and markers. SOFT shells are approx. 2 mm thick. As soft as beanbags, they are more forgiving on collisions and tend to roll much less on the floor. These are the shells used for MMX, SRX, TTS, TT1 and SIL-X Light balls. ELASTIC shells are approx. 4 mm thick. They feel solid, precise and allow to work easier on head and body rolls. These are the shells used for SIL-X and HYBRID balls. SURFACE FINISH 62-67-70-75 mm MATTE (soft touch) 78 mm GLOSSY (ultra grip)

FILLING

The value 1/2 is just indicative for under-filled balls. The actual amount of filling you will receive it is what we recommend and use in the manufacturing of our most popular juggling balls. It can vary from a minimum of 1/3 to a maximum of 1/2 of the internal shell volume depending on the shell's diameter and thickness. Every single ball is digitally weighed with a high precision device.

The plugs can be removed allowing to adjust the weight of the balls and to re inflate them in case of need (like after a flight during which the difference in pressure and temperature in the aircraft's hold causes a "deflation" of the ball with consequent dents in the surface).
