Guili's practice log

Guili#

4b, 6b, 7b, 75 minutes

warm-up. then +1b.

4b: started seriously trying with the sprung cascade. good progress today. made 4 throws. now.. how do you count them? i mean, you throw and catch 2 balls every beat (actually every 2 beats, being a synched pattern).
so each double-catch counts as 1 anyway? counts as 2?
i think is 1. so 4 times (6x,2x), minus the last, because it fell, gives 3 catches. a full run :)

6b: flashed several times. getting neater throws. then some good fountain runs with 6,8 and 10 catches.
6bmax: 10

7b: some nice flash-attempts with 5 and 6 gathers. good cascade runs of 6,7 and 9 catches.
7bmax: 9

good session. had to cut it to go do boring everyday-stuff. haha

Total practice time: 75 minutes

7b_wizard - Hi again, .. I don't understand what you mean by "flash, 6 gathers" (collect after 7 throws?), but "cascade, 9 catches" (throw more than 7 times?) .. I mean, doesn't "9 catches" incude a "flash" (= 7 catches) somehow?
7b_wizard - ( I mean, you're not doing high up "flashes" like in 999999900 pattern, are you? )
7b_wizard - Otherwise said: where is your difference between "flash" and "cascade"? Is it collecting after 7 throws versus rethrowing \going on after 7 throws?
Guili - precisely! (though it may be wrong... ) I thought to make a flash, or a qualifying run, you should throw the amount of balls, and gather them all, without rethrows, right? so, in a run of 9 catches, the 7 is included, but you are not stoping there to gather. is it right, or wrong?
Guili - correcting. in the qualifying run its one rethrow per ball, but i meant that in both cases, after throwing them, you catch them all and stop throwing.
7b_wizard - Ah, I see, .. "where you stop", "what you're going for" pure flash or qualify. Okay, makes perfect sense.
