Hello all
	I've been juggling 3-ball (& trying clubs) for a
while now, and have been wondering if there is any possibility
of injury from the repetitive catching that necessarily goes on.
One hears a lot about such problems from keyboarding these days, 
and since I have a malformed & mechanically awkward right hand
I pay attention to this!

I've just had a fortnights break from keyboarding (Christmas/New
year), and have been doing a fair bit of juggling. I notice that I
still have (occasionally) the slight soreness & tingling in my
palms and fingers that I associate with too much/bad typing. Has
anyone else had experience of this? Am I catching badly? What will
happen when I try clubs for real? (I know my hands may well get
_sore_ from  this, but that's not what I mean).

Comments welcome

	john N
