Questions & AnswersIn this clip we are going to discuss straight throws with clubs. If you've been in through the three ball clips you will have seen me approach this. It is usually just called the straight throw or a side swap four. A higher straight throw would be considered a side swap six. Well, we'll stick to fours for now. With a club, a side swap four is usually just a double. Obviously to the same hand. You want to be able to do it in the same hand as well. As you approach tricks like pattern stalls, straight train vamp, otherwise known as four four one, and other such combinations, box etc. you need to have a good straight throw with clubs. The spin is very important. Straight throws are much harder to fix if your catching it by the wrong end and much harder catch, thus the reason I just dropped it. If you are interested in making a trick more dynamic by having it vary in height, that involves fours. Making the double into a triple can be an interesting change and create a bigger trick. This would technically be considered a side swap six, but depending on the trick it can be a four as well.
