Why-Not Family
From jugglingpatterns
Why-not was my entry into passing patterns with heffs and also into asynchronous 4-handed siteswap patterns.
Why not is probably among the easier passing patterns with heffs, because they have less than 7 clubs.
5 clubs
First patterns with a heff - 5 club why nots
There are 7 and 8 club why-not, which feature two double and two triple passes, respectively. If one wants to be consistent with this, the two patterns above (whose name was chosen because they feel similar to why-not and are good training patterns for why-not) should not really be called 5-club why not. But the names have been widely established and so I present:
6 clubs
