Torben
Wigger is the Danish man who, apart from his frisbee and hackysack
skills are known for his high quality, handsewn juggling balls,
hackysacks and other leather ball like objects. He sews everything
himself and most of the stuff seems to be more or less
indestructible. He has been known to urge prospective customers to try
to destroy one of the juggling balls prior to purchase when asked if
the balls last for a long time.
Every juggling ball is handmade and can be made to exact specification. Wigger uses several different fill materials to enable precise adjustment of both weight and size to fit every customer's desire. Naturally, he alse premakes balls to sizes, weights and colors that he himself thinks will suit a lot of people.
When Torben visits a convention a lot of the balls will eventually be handsewn on the convention site.
Despite the quality and craftmanship put into each ball, prices are very affordable. In fact, prices are so affordable that one can wonder why one would ever buy an ordinary beanbag again...
This page
shows some examples of juggling balls and poi sewn by Wigger. We will
add a litte form on this website where you can get in contact with
Torben for describing what juggling balls you would like to have
made.
