I bought these cups & balls when I was curious to see if I wanted to take time to learn routines for
them. The answer was a simple one: "Yes I want to learn cups & balls but not with these". They just
don't have the right weight or feel. You feel cheap practicing or (please don't) performing with
them. Considering these plastic ones are $13.95, my suggestion is to buy "Cups & Balls (Copper)
Uday" for $12.95 or "Cups & Balls Aluminum Regular" for $24.75. I myself covet the "The
Penguin Cups" for $99.95 but I told myself that I'm not allowed until I perfect the routines.
