Splits are one of my favorite of the 4-Ball sync patterns, where you juggle two on one side of your body and two on the other.
Instructions:
First, make sure you can juggle the 4-Ball Sync patterns very well. Practice the Columns and Pistons variations.
The hard part about the Splits is keeping the two balls from crossing when they're in the air. You must make a conscience effort to keep the two balls in their columns and at the same height. This is hard to do, because you have to turn your body a bit from side to side, which leaves less time to make accurate throws.
