Records
As for solo juggling, world records for passing are kept. The rules generally require that two-count passing be used, and that the number of successful catches be four times the number of props, in order for a passing attempt to be successful. Current world records are as follows:
- 13 clubs: 26 passes caught, by Wes Peden and Patrik Elmnert in 2009
- 12 clubs: 76 passes caught, by Manuel Mitasch and Christoph Mitasch in 2008
