Beginning Heffs

Solo Patterns

Solo Patterns to begin learning heffs (double selfs thrown as a column):

If there are throws that can be done as a hold or as a flip, first try to the pattern with a hold, then see if you can get the flip working in the pattern. If there is a 0 (empty hand) in the pattern, you should clapp on your knee or somewhere to fill the gap, else you can easily lose the rythm and the pattern becomes harder.

Heffs as a Trick in Base Patterns

As these patterns have consecutive selfs, you can throw heffs without changing anything on the pass (or on the pattern of the other person).

Possible substitutions on up to four consecutive selfs:


1) on two selfs (for 4 or 5 count, you can add the additional selfs at the beginning or end of the pattern or both)
