[[Heff]]s are a throw to the same hand that threw the object, as a one-person (2-hand) siteswap usually represented as a "4", i.e. there is one throw from that same hand (and two throws from the other hand) before the object ist thrown again.
 
As heffs are thrown to yourself, it makes sense to practice them a lot in solo patterns before or accompanying passing patterns with heffs. Doing both, solo practice and passing practice is key, because solo practice alone is usually not enough to successfully use the throw in passing patterns.
 
Heffs in passing patterns tend to go forward towards your passing partner instead of straight up. It is good to think of them as a throw going straight up made by a hand motion going straight up. Possible reasons for heffs flying forward are:
* your brain doesn't fully distinguish between heffs and passes
* the throw before the heff is too low and forces you to let go of the heff-club early
