Please Help Me Stop Shaking

I'm new to slacking and I've been practicing for a while now. And I just cannot stop shaking the line.

At this point I feel like walking on a slackline is doable for me - if it wasn't for me shaking the line.

Any advice? Will it go away with more practice? Is there anything I can do to improve it? Have any of you overcome the shaking?

It has significantly reduced since my first time trying it - but it is still present enough that it scares me and throws off my balance.

Clubs Feel Heavy & Scary - What Am I Doing Wrong?

I'm learning 4 clubs now and like the title says - they feel super heavy and super scary - kind of dangerous even. And fast.

But, when I watch videos of other people juggling 4 - the clubs look floaty? light? more like they are being thrown in a "gingerly" manner. Not dangerous? Almost like people are juggling children's toys?

There has got to be something I've misunderstood or a technique I'm missing - or... something?

I even picked out a set of Henry Delphins which are some of the lightest clubs - but that did not solve the problem. I switch to my PX3s... not any better - my arms just get tired more quickly.

I'm pretty solid on 4 balls and 4 rings. Sync and async.

3 clubs feel heavy and uncomfortable to me too.

I mean even just 2 in one hand doubles feels heavy and well, bad. Very unpleasant. They come down hard. Do not enjoy.

I can't imagine it's an upper body strength issue either.

Any ideas?
