Not Why
This pattern is very similar to why-not. And of the same general difficulty.
Patterns to do before this one
- same as for Why Not
No particular reson, but everyone showed my why-not first and I did the other patterns of the series much later. Maybe the weird start caused this. So:
Not Why
Sequence: A starts with 4 clubs and has straight passes, B starts with 2 clubs in their right hand and has crossing passes.
Both clubs of B are in the same hand, so that one hand is free for the zip.
A 2|2: P H P Z S B 0|2: Z S P H P
P=pass
Z=zip
H=heff
Another start that may be easier if you already know why-not is to start with the sequence of why-not and then switch on the part, where you throw "pass self pass" and throw "pass heff pass" instead. After that, you have only 2 clubs left and if you did other patterns with a zip-self, you will probably do the zip-self automatically at that point.
A can even switch into that Sequence on throw 2 of the start, B has to wait until they reach the "P S P" sequence:
A 2|2: P H P S Z P H P S Z......
B 2|1: H Z P H P S Z P H P .......
^--- beginning H Z is why-not, then B switches to not why
Other Things to Do
You can also switch back and forth between Why-not, Not-why, Jim's 2-couunt etc. during the pattern.

Jim's 2-count is also a good pattern for one side to juggle if why-not is new for both jugglers
Not Likely has double passes
