5-count Popcorn

← Back to Popcorn Family ←

For me, this is "the popcorn" and all other patterns in the Popcorn Family are derived from it.

Patterns to do before this one

• one-person 4 club fountain ( should get at least 50-80 catches)
• Why Not
• 4-count with 441 instead of 3 selfs

5-count Popcorn

There are two variants of this pattern, one with two heffs in the sequence and one with the heffs exchanged with triple-self, single-self

Sequence: A starts with 4 clubs and has straight passes, B starts with 3 clubs and has crossing passes.

A 2|2: P S S H H
B 1|1:  H H P S S

P=pass

S=self

H=heff

This start with 4 clubs for A has the advantage, that A can throw the complete (first half) sequence of the pattern plus one pass before running out of clubs. So if B only catches all passes without throwing to A, A can get used to the new sequence without the stress of having to catch incoming passes.

7-club patterns:

based on the 4,4 Popcorn with heff, heff, pass, self, self, you can do many things differently with your local pattern - or change passes to double passes or zaps.

Double Pass

This pattern may be easier than the actual 4,4-5-count popcorn and fit well between why not and 6 count popcorn

• instead of heff, pass do self, doublepass --> dpass, self, self, self, heff

Triple Selfs

• best-konwn case: do triple, self instead of heff, heff for the 5,3-popcorn
• promote the first heff vs the self, so self, heff --> triple, flip
• promote the 2nd heff against the flip from the pattern before: triple, triple, zip, pass, self: a7a62
• another triple, triple combo, after which you are left with two clubs for a self-zip: triple triple pass zip self: a67a2

Flips

• throw heff, flip instead of self, self

Zaps

• throw a late zap instead of a pass, i.e. pass, self --> heff, zap
