Ah, perhaps this is the difference. I juggle a good bit lower than
the average, and can easily see both balls. For 53 the 5's are 
naturally at eye height (though I can get them lower).

Okay, now it gets ridiculous. But this is not how I would recommend to
anyone how to half-shower 5: they should try [64], a synchronous pattern,
and one I can do much much much longer than 91. (Sometimes it feels
easier than 5, in fact.) Have you compared these two?		Allen K.
