Three balls and a string are enough to cause addiction

Recently, I've been looking for a new hobby similar to cubing, penspinning and such things. This is what I stumbled upon, and it looks fun...

Have any of you tried this before?

I used to play with astrojax a long time ago. I gave it up to practice cubes more.

i used to LOVE astrojax. i was actually reasonable at it. i wonder why i stopped?!

I remember astrojax, got them for Christmas in 2004 i think it was. I knew how to do the moves in the books, but I gave it up for Yo-yoing which was the latesst craze in primary school.

i got those as an easter present from my german exchange in 2005! they were so fun. i could do a few tricks like juggle with them and switch balls... but they never held my interest long.

Reminds me of poi, but with more to it.

I wonder if you you could do Mills' Mess with it without tying your arms up.

i tried those a long time ago. i never had a set, i just used my freind's. i was pretty good, but i never really got into it.

i stopped astrojax when i hit my head with them.

 

[cookingfat]

ouch, I bet that was painful.

I've watched a few youtube vids on these and I'm now actually thinking about getting some. They look really cool, especially the ones with LEDs in them.

Every sport has its risks. You could hurt yourself with a popped cubie if it flew away with enough speed ^^
Also, I managed to get my hands on an Astrojax Saturn, the basic tricks are quite easy to learn... But anything that involves the strings requires some pretty awesome skills :S

try pulling one out during class xD

I popped my cube and hit myself in the eye, there was actually a bit of blood in my eye the next morning... it didn't feel good

Funny, that looks a lot like a Diablo, which is like a spinning toy, look it up on Youtube. I'm good at it .
