Pattern Description
This is a half-synchronous pattern - so the right-hand throws of all jugglers happen at the same time and the left-hand throws of all jugglers also happen at the same time.
In the following description, all jugglers start with two clubs in their right hand and one club in their left hand. Juggler A and B start with a pass to each other. Two throws later, A and C have a pass with each other.
In this pattern the feeder of the pattern rotates on every throw. First A is feeding for two throws, then C is feeding for 2 throws, then B is feeding for two throws.
Described for each juggler:
- A first has a 2-count with passes to B, then C, then a 4-count, then repeats
- B has a pass to A in 4-count (3 selfs) and then also has a repeating 2-count to C and A always with a 4-count in between
- C starts with two selfs, then has a 2-count with passes to A, then B and then a 4-count.
