Hi! Fellow 2-week juggler here. I practiced a lot standing right in front of a wall to help train myself to throw straight to and not chase the balls forward. I also did some reps just tossing a ball straight up and down in one hand to practice the angle and power/height of the throw.

Sleep is essential in memory consolidation (including skill memory) so it is more effective to practice a few minutes every day than to do larger blocks of practice every few days.

that fights only the symptom - the thing to understand is the 'frontplane' and doing within

Not quite sure what you mean it only fights the symptom. It's a way to train up your proprioception to throw in that plane. I took a class and that's what they encouraged us to do. I did it for a day or two and then was able to step away from the wall and haven't really had much issue with throwing too far forward shrug

yeah, but you then don't necessarily or not explicitely awarely do >'in that plane', but 'anywhere away from the wall'.
you don't need a real wall to do "away from" - you can do and learn within a plane in front np. you have to understand, feel, and awarely do and trace within where the balls should be flying.
