The wimpy pattern... (repost for JIS)
Bruce G. Tiemann
...is my submission for the name of the even numbers, crossing
pairs pattern. I call it that not because most people find it easier than
any of the real patterns (half shower, and synch and asych fountains) but
rather from how it looks.
This isn't really on the thread, but I've found that those
grounding wrist straps, used in static control worksations, are the best
way *I've* found to limit *my* potential. **Please note that I am not
advocating that you try them yourself!! No flames please!**

Well, I got 50 catches for the first time with 6 balls with the "wimpy
pattern". I was ecstactic. Unfortunately I was doing this at work when
I was supposed to be working :-/

I saw Haggis trying this pattern with 8 small yellow beanbags in the Big top
at Bristol. It looks nice :-)

George, I had the same experience as you (except I can only do wimpy 6 for 35
catches or so.) Watching Bruce was great! I don't think *any* 8-or-greater
ball pattern should be called wimpy.
Well, it's lunchtime now - time to go practice my wimpy 6 some more...
