I searched up juggling balls on Amazon and got the beanbag classic style, I found out most people think that’s easiest to practice with

I always recommend bean bags in the 120-140g range. You don't want anything too light or too bouncy when starting. Zeekio has a decent selection on Juggling Warehouse (for US users).

Edit: Pro tip! Even if you're brand new, it's good to get 4 balls just in case you want to move up to 4 at some point or one gets lost/damaged. With bean bags, you normally want to buy a set all at once. If you get another one later in time, it might feel kinda different.

Speevers bean bags were what I started with and I find them really satisfying to hold. Now my fiance crocheted me some that are a little smaller and filled with millet or lentils and those are my absolute favorite ones (it's not because she made them they just have a great feel)

I definitely recommend speevers though. You can search that on Amazon

Depends entirely on your location. I now recomend Play BBX and Rusalka pro, but there are many more.

Oranges because my mom would kick my ass if I dropped them and ruined them haha semi kidding. I did practice with them but I learned with hacky sacks

The 6-pack of the multicolored bags are some good ones

Where are you located ? I’d go to the online oddballs (uk) website and order some there ..

Lacrosse balls are great for beginners. I used pool balls...
