5-club 1-count with zaps

Patterns to do Before

Pre-requisite: zap zap zip

Pattern

Animation

The throw sequence is as simple as it gets: zap, zap, zap, zap, zap… but it will feel quite a bit faster than zap-zap-zip.

Remember to throw from a low hand position upwards. Aim around shoulder height, else throws become too fast.

If you stood very close in zap-zap-zip, you need to stand a bit further apart now to avoid collisions.

Common Problems

• Collisions.
  • The person doing straight zaps cannot have them go inwards
  • Your throws may be too low
• "it's too fast"
  • if you got zap-zap-zip to become slow and relaxed, it will be faster
  • don't do throws earlier than you need, that speeds up the pattern
  • keep doing throws from low down a bit upwards.
