I Qualified 3 Club Backcrosses

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

I made 6 catches of 3 club backcrosses then back into the basic pattern. And I did it again. It was a pretty weird feeling, looking back and forth, seeing clubs in the air that I didn’t see get thrown, and then catching them.
I also qualified 55550 in clubs a couple times!  That was really […]

On the 3 club backcrosses front, I can do runs of 4 backcrosses (left-right-left-right), then back into the 3 club pattern, pretty solid.  I figured out why I can’t do more than that.  It’s because I lead with my left hand, and since it’s my first backcross, I do a good job of it, then […]

Still just practicing backcrosses, reverse backcrosses, 4 club singles, and 5 clubs (if everyone’s awake and I can use the living room which has a vaulted ceiling and I can make lots of noise dropping clubs and hitting furnature and hopefully not killing the dog who’s only mere inches in length).  I’m getting mildly poor […]

5 Club Practice

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

Still working on backcrosses and reverse backcrosses.  Progress is slower than I’d like, but still getting a little better each practice.  Went back to working on 5 clubs.  Tried the chase pattern (50505) but starting with the 3rd beat (50550).  I’m able to qualify it.  It looks something like this:

It’s pretty comfortable now, and […]
