Killer Bunny
← Back to Selfs and Zaps ←
Each passer reacts on an the incoming pass with "self, zap" (or rather "self, zap, flip")
Pre-requisite
Preliminary Exercises
- One juggler only has one club and just throws the zaps to alternating hands whenever the other person is ready.
- This can also be done as a pattern of zap-zip-zip (Lame Duck) i.e. do two zips between throwing the zaps.
Friendly Killer Bunny
The Friendly Killer Bunny is the same pattern as the Killer Bunny, but done with a hold instead of a flip in the sequence.
Killer Bunny
- If one does straight passes, the other does diagonal passes, this is called Killer Bunny
Siteswap: 645
Sequence: self, zap, hold
or:
Sequence: self, zap, flip
Instead of waiting holding 2 clubs, you can do a single-turn flip with the hand that won't receive the pass from your partner.
Compatible Patterns
Many asynchronous 3-count like patterns
For all patterns that are compatible and have single passes:
There are two variants: straight zaps vs straight passes or diagonal zaps vs diagonal passes. Diagonal is probably a bit easier, because then both just have to throw far enough outside. File:Passes vs zaps.svg
When both throw straight, there is no such clear-cut best option to avoid the collision, although timing and type of throw can also make it easy to do this collision-free.
