About this pattern

Five balls in a single crossing pattern, the same shape as the three-ball cascade but higher and considerably faster. A long-standing milestone.

Learning this pattern

Before learning this

Worth having comfortable before you start.

Practice tips

  • Height buys time. Throw higher than feels necessary.
  • Work on the five-ball flash first and add catches gradually.

Common mistakes

  • Throwing too low, which leaves no time to make the next throw.
  • Widening the pattern under pressure until the catches are out of reach.
