Zip Zap, Attack! - 5225527

From jugglingpatterns

This pattern is directly related to zap-zap-zip in its siteswap and introduces a pass into patterns with zaps and zips.

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 a oft-repeating zap-zip sequence punctuated by a stack of pass, zap.

As in all patterns that mix zaps and passes and especially in patterns in which the two throws are stacked (consecutive throws of one juggler go to the same hand of the other juggler), it is important that the height of the zaps and the pass differ from each other, i.e. the pass should clearly be higher than the zap so that they arrive at the other jugglers hand in the regular beat.

Sequence: zap, zip, zap, zip, zap, pass! zip

A starts with one club in the left hand and one club in the right hand and has crossing zaps and a straight pass, B also starts with one club in each hand and has straight zaps and a crossing pass.

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