Patterns to do Before This One

(just as in 5c Why-Not)

This is a good pattern to practise heffs in the beginning.

The more stable these things are the more they will make it easier for you to learn the pattern - but heffs in passing patterns combine them with passes, often making them fly more to the front than intended, so a stable 4 club fountain alone won't let you immediately do these passing patterns.

solo:

• stable 3 club cascade
• 423
• 441
• "practicing 4 clubs" - i.e. you are at at least trying to learn 4 clubs with doubles and are getting some catches

passing with selfs and passes:

• At least 5 club 1-count
• Probably n-count series.

Prelimnary exercises (thrown once as a trick in a different pattern):

• throw 441 (heff, heff, zip) into a 4-count or 5-count pattern instead of 3 selfs
• throw 42 (heff, flip) into a 3-count or 4-count pattern (the flip can be skipped for a hold)
• in 5-count, 4-count or 3-count, steal the pattern by throwing repeated heffs like a solo 4 club pattern for 4-5 throws

Companion Pattern

5-club Why-Not - this is of similar difficulty. It's good to practice both patterns. The 5-club Why-Not is probably the more common pattern than its "not-why"-brother.
