Double Passes

Selfs and Double Passes

One big problem with having many double passes in a pattern is, that it becomes very hard (compared to single passes) to see how your pass arrives, because you are looking upwards for the double passes you receive. So here we start with patterns in which one side throws single passes while the other throws double passes.

Doubles in Well-Known Base Patterns

These are mostly useful if people feel very secure in the base pattern, as they can be done as a trick.

• early double - in all 6 club half-synchronous patterns like 4-count, 3-count, 2-count, PPS, PPSS
• late double - in 4-count, 3-count, 2-count
• two early doubles in PPS: 4p4p1 in PPS

Preliminary "Dry" Practice

• Throwing the first double passes - self-pass

6 club patterns

Adapted Well-Known Base Patterns

One side can throw double passes in patterns resembling 5-count, 4-count, etc.

But the patterns really are asynchronous have to include a "self-zip" on one side to accomodate the double.

Doubles vs Well-Known Base Patterns

• 5-count vs doublepass, self, zip, self - 9667266666 (recommended)
• 4-count vs doublepass, self, zip, self - 96672666
• 3-count vs doublepass, self, zip - 966726
• 2-count vs dpass-zip 7962

Inverse Patterns: Self-Zip on the Single-Pass Side

• 5-count with double passes vs pass, self, zip, self, self - 7966266666
• 4-count with double passes vs pass, self, zip, self - 79662666
• 3-count with double passes vs pass, self, zip - 796626
• 2-count with double passes vs pass, zip - 7926

Same Series, Identical Roles for Both Jugglers

• 7966266
• 796626666

Somewhat Easy Patterns

• doublepass-zip <4p|1><1|4p> (half-synchronous)

• 5 club 1-count with Doubles (and self-zip Filler)

• dpass self zip self zip - 96622 The slow glass elevator)

Medium Difficulty Patterns

• 942 - glass elevator
• PZPZPZZ (doubles) - 9229922

Selfless Passing Patterns (5-9 clubs)

Similar to the selfless passing with single passes, one can create a series of patterns with double passes but without selfs. Because the higher difference between a zip and a double pass, we need period 7 patterns to be able to trade a double pass with a zip:

with 5 clubs all patterns have at least one zip-zip in the sequence:

• 9992222 - 5 clubs (with two zip-zip)
• 9929222 - 5 clubs (with zip-zip-zip)

• 9929922 - 6 clubs
• 9992922 - 6 clubs (with zip-zip)
• 9999222 - 6 clubs (with zip-zip)
• 9929292 - 6 clubs (with zip-zip-zip)
• 9992992 - 7 clubs
• 9999292 - 7 clubs (with zip-zip)
• 9999922 - 7 clubs
• 9999992 - 8 clubs
• 9999999 - 9 clubs

other "selfless" patterns:

• 7 club one-count with doubles (siteswap 7)

7 club patterns

The best-known "classic" patterns

• 7-club 2-count (doubles) <4p,3><3,4p>
• 7-club 3-count 966

(There is a 7-club 4 count, is is done with triple passes)

• 8-club 2-count (doubles)

Towards 7-club why-not

There is a nice progression of patterns towards 7-club why-not.

First, we make sure we can also throw double passes from the left hand and also diagonal passes:

• 7-club 2-count diagonal double passes

Then we can do the Jim's with the possibility to first skip the flip in the pattern, then add it

• 7-club Jim's 2-count 9669964

And finally we arrive at the 7-club why-not

• 7-club why-not 9968926 (with heffs)

Towards 8-club PPS

• 7-club 3-count 966
• 7-club PPS <4p,4p,3><3,3p,4p>

8 club patterns

• 8-club 2-count <5p,3><5p,3>
• 8-club PPS 996
