But where's the fun in that? Chasing the balls is half the challenge!

Seriously, knowing the balls are going to roll away if you drop them gives you some incentive to do it right. I think I used tennis balls early on.

My dad bought me a kit of beanbags that looked like globes when I was 9 or 10.

My incentive to do it right was "I want to juggle." I'm glad I didn't have to chase them around, what a waste of time.
