Hey guys, Happy New Year! :D
So since I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to siteswaps, I have a question about multiplexes ([33]):
- How do you count catches with multiplex (that is: throwing two balls with each throw)? Would you count one catch per two balls, since it's >one< throw, or would you count each as two, seeing as you're actually catching >two< balls more or less at the same time?
By this I mean: does each throw result in one or two catches? :/
If you were going to add a record on the Edge for example.
And also: if any of you have any tips about triplexes ([333]), how do you guys start a cascade? I've found it next to impossible to hold six balls in one hand, and I'm using regular-sized (ca 63cm) beanbags. Is there a trick to it that I don't know about yet?
I hope my questions make sense; I've found it's rather hard to explain...
How about starting with 5 & 4 balls in each hand, and starting with ([33],3x)? (I'm not sure if "3x" is correct, but I mean a 3 to the same hand.)
Hi & happy new year, to you too! .. Don't have that issue, as I don't do stacked ones, so I count "balls caught". Even for stacks, I'd think, even though you were counting and recording "balls caught", the pattern would imply they're thrown in pairs. I'd comment "#n pairs thrown" or "duplexes thrown" and-or "#n balls caught" anyway, though, I guess.

Alright, thanks for the reply!
I guess I just like throwing them Koblikov-style (i.e. stacked) so maybe I could count "stacks" and have the siteswap pattern explain the rest? A stack of [33] being two balls/catches and [333] being three...
I'll work on it :)

for ([333]), if you're using beanbags, I guess you could pinch the corners of 3 balls together and hold them with your teeth. Load them into your hand after the first throw!

Or balance 3 balls on the back of your hand after turning it palm down with 3 other balls in the hand.
I'm sure there are many creative ways to solve this problem. Kickup, put the balls on a table, do a 3 ball cascade while holding the other 6 like how people start 9 with russians, and then do a 543 into squeeze catch.. Saggy small beanbags would probably help.

Thank you for the ideas, I'll be sure to try different ways :)
I know it'll probably be way easier with smaller beanbags, but I just like the size I already use.
I'm gonna have to look up "squeeze catches" though.
Thanks again!

Its the opposite of a multiplex, catching multiple objects in the same hand at the same time!

Thanks :D

Wow, I've never seen that one before!
I guess the rumours are true: Luke is indeed awesome.
