Greetings...

The PX3 Vegus (or Vegas, some sites say one, some say the other)
costs a lot more than the PX3 Sirius; what's the difference ?
They look much flashier; is there a difference in jugglability ?
And where does the the PX3FS Chubby fit into the range ?

Regards, Peter

Yeah. They are exactly the same.

I'm still confused, because there's also two types of Sirius:
$38 16euro PX3-PS "SIRIUS" Trainer
$50 21euro PX3-PS "SIRIUS" Pirouette

www.playjuggling.com says:
The SIRIUS is surely our most popular club. The wrapped handle is
thin and soft. This slim and fast club makes it easy to handle
three or more clubs in each hand, which is very important when
you juggle five or more clubs. ...
The SIRIUS TRAINING is the one piece handle version of the SIRIUS.
The handle is long and thin, making it a very good club for practicing
big numbers as well as tricks and passing . Like all our clubs with
the FLEX GRIP handle, is extremely durable and easy to control.
Moreover this handle is 5 gr heavier than the wrapped one giving
to this club a slightly slower spin.
Both types of Sirius have Body length 30 cm and Handle length 22 cm

Is the Trainer club handle hard ? Is it harder on the hands
than the Pirouette ? Is the Pirouette worth the extra ?

hey man

I think that there is actually a huge difference realistically, regardless
of what the description says. In my juggling club, they invested in some
px3s and they were not nice to juggle at all, too heavy and not properly
balance IMO so i was wondering what the fuss was about. Then i tried my
friend;s px3s and they were much better

The club had bought pirouettes. but my friend had vegas. I think that if
you are going to go about spending money on px3s, get the vegas.

The sirius ones are tougher, almost like one-piece clubs, but you can
still get amazing duability from vegas. If you drive over them in a car,
it will go out of shape, but you can just pop it back into place.

I would STRONGLY recommend vegas clubs if you've got the money. you won't
regret it

Also, if you're around england? oddballs.co.uk usually have a multi-buy
offer going for them

My experience has been that the undecorated pirouette clubs (I think
Sirius is a new name?) with wrapped handles *are* the same as the
decorated Vegas versions.

It seems likely that pclynes7 used the undecorated (Sirius) pirouette
clubs *with molded handles*, which are noticeably different.

If you live in the UK, then go to oddballs and try them out.

I'm in Australia, though :-) I expect to be back in UK for a while
early summer 2010, and I'll certainly check out the varieties at
Oddballs. Like Iain Murray says, maybe pclynes' juggling club had
got the Sirius Training ones? They are cheaper...

In fact I've just ordered three PX3 Vegas (juggleart.com calls
them Vegus), so I felt relieved after reading pclynes' post.

Thanks all, Regards, Peter
