Highest point of the highest ball in the pattern from the floor.<br \/>\n2. Lowest point of the lowest ball\/hand from the floor from the start of the throwing motion of the first throw to the end of the catching motion of the last catch.<\/p>\n<p>The two new records this can track is:<\/p>\n<p>A. The lowest 9 ball flash from the floor to top of the pattern (so juggling sitting or kneeling down helps, and short people are at an advantage).<br \/>\nB. The lowest &#8220;total pattern height&#8221; of the 9 ball flash (so purely about speed of throwing, control and catching reflexes).<\/p>\n<p>In three days\/sessions, this was the 9 ball flash that did best in both records. Floor to top of pattern: 232cm.
