    @Carlos Habbenero thanks! I’ve been trying to become more consistent with them, although I have to give some credit to my 5 finger string lol

    Lol, it takes a lot more than a long string to be good at juggles. It does seem like everyone goes 5+ nowadays. 3 is my jam, and honestly, I rarely get tangled during juggles. i'm sure though once I start to get more advanced I'll understand those long string, but for now, them seem unplayable for me!

    Now that I think about it, I may not be able to handle those lengths because I'm 5'1" and that creates problems.

    The dama I’m using came with the 5 finger string length and I was too lazy to change it lol. I got used to it and started to like it once I started grinding juggles. I still revert to other setups when I do spacewalks and mooncircles because they just don’t feel right with a long string.

    yeah, I don't understand how people do multiple gooncircle tricks with 5 fingers.

    I use 5-6.5 string length for juggles because the main juggle dama I'm using is tama-heavy by about 11 grams. I find long string to be better for string flow the bigger the weight-difference is, but idk about ken-heavy. Even with that, I randomly got an 8 jug to spike while I was in Los Cabos

    well now that james replied, I now use 4-5 fingers, the long strings have grown on me.
