PM mini Room Kids model

A special model co-developed with the contemporary circus company “Room Kids.”

Based on the standard PM mini, this version is tuned in detail for advanced jugglers.

Softer Shell

Compared to the standard PM mini, this model uses a softer shell.

The softer rebound reduces the chance of the balls bouncing away on catches, making it easier to feel the ball as part of your body.

It offers more stability for full-body dynamical movements and fast hand-based techniques.

Please note: if the balls are kept compressed inside a bag for a long time, dents may remain due to pressure.

If you will not use them for more than one week, store them outside the bag.

Slightly Heavier

The standard model is 90g, while this Room Kids model is 100g.

The increased volume of grain inside reduces the “Russian feel” (the shifting center of weight), resulting in more natural movement.

Roll techniques along the arms become even smoother.

The extra weight allows the ball to sit more securely in the hand, bringing confidence even on stage.

Depending on the Scene

• Standard version → lightweight and durable, easy to carry

• Room Kids model → softer and heavier, a more tactile feel

They each have different characters. For example: “standard for going out” / “Room Kids model for deep practice.”

This model was adjusted to match the sensations of Room Kids jugglers Teruki Okamoto & Masahiro Sekiya. You could say these balls let you “feel” their juggling.
