Sequence:
A 1|1: P Z Z P Z B 1|1: P Z P Z Z
P=pass
Z=zip
B starts after A. Note that this is an asynchronous pattern - no throws ever happen at the same time.
A and B each start with on club in the left hand and one club in the right hand.
A starts and throws Pass Zip Zip Pass Zip, B starts a bit later and throws Pass Zip Pass Zip Zip.
It is important to throw nice floaty passes under which your partner can throw their passes without having to evade your incoming ones. This will become increasingly important the more you progress within the series of selfless passing patterns.
The zip-zip is a handing the club to the other hand and immediately handing it back. This can be just a touch with the club to the other hand without really handing it over twice when you start learning the pattern if that helps you to keep the pattern running for a longer time. You should not skip the zip-zip completely.
