Juggling two with the non-dominant hand is so hard. Much harder than juggling three balls. There's something fundamentally different about using your non-dominant hand independently as opposed to in coordination with your dominant hand. I can use my left for many things: juggling, typing, playing guitar etc., but as soon as I try to do it with my right hand behind my back I feel incredibly weak.
It would be so useful to have two right hands. I'm curious whether you think getting over the hump helps with ambidexterity in general.
Something I learnt was when learning new juggling tricks, make sure to practice them both ways round. For example if you are learning to shower 3 (round in a circle juggling) make sure you practice the high throws with your right and left hands. It gets easier the more you do it so I guess that it does help with ambidexterity.
I can juggle 4 balls for a little while, but two in my non-dominante hand? That's so unnatural I don't think I've even bothered trying.
