Zap and Zip Until You Flip - 5525524

From jugglingpatterns

This pattern is directly related to zap-zap-zip in its siteswap (2x zap-zap-zip and one flip).

It introduces a flip into the patterns while still being quite similar to Zap zap zip

Pre-requisite Patterns

Compatible Compagnion Pattern

This pattern has no pass, but instead features a flip - and it is compatible to this one. So one juggler can do one pattern, the other can do the other - you can even switch back and forth between the two while juggling.

Pattern Description

Distributing the throws unto two passers gives us the already known "zap,zap,zip" sequence, then "zap, zip", then we mirror the pattern around with a "zap, flip". The repetition of 3 (or 4 counting the 1st zap) zaps going to the same hand in a 2-count like fashion makes the pattern kind of easy to remember despite the long(ish) period of 7.

Sequence: A starts with 2 clubs and has crossing zaps, B starts with 2 clubs and has straight zaps.

A 1|1:  zap,     zip,     zap,     flip,     zap,     zap,     zip 
B 1|1:       zap,     zap,     zip,     zap,     zip,     zap,     flip
