The key is to get a set of clubs which is weighted and balanced properly. Professional juggling clubs will have a center rod through the plastic molding which helps to stabalize flight. There are subtle differences between types and brands of clubs, but if you stick with one of the main manufacturers like Todd Smith, Beard, Henry's, or Dube you'll be alright. These clubs will cost more than $15 for a set, however. More like $25 - 40 each.

Of course, it depends what you want to do with juggling. If all you're ever going to do is cascade three clubs for a few revolutions once a show, then you may be able to get by with the cheaper clubs. But if you want to take it to another level of real juggling you need something of a quality product which will enable you to carry that out.
