@Erekai I saw you wrote this 8 months ago, but I was in that rut for a long time, too. Learning even a weak box was a major accomplishment for me. I had to start doing one side at a time. Pass from R to L as L tosses up and pass back L to R before catching the upward toss. The up toss hand almost has to be vertical for me sometimes in order to be positioned to receive the quick 0x (I think) pass.
Great tutorial, as always! You're adding an extra ball underneath a 3b cascade. Do you know if people do the same for other patterns? A 4b fountain would become a 5b (8,2x)(2x,8), a 5b cascade would become a 6b (ax,2x)(2x,ax), etc. In fact, it works for any async pattern. 441 would become (8,2x)(2x,8)(2x,2x)(2x,8)(8,2x)(2x,2x) and 423 (with thrown 2's) would become (8,2x)(2x,4)(6x,2x)(2x,8)(4,2x)(2x,6x) and 53 would become (ax,2x)(2x,6x). I'd love to see someone do some of these!
For the benefit of those reading comments, the reason for making the second crossing throw a bit higher is that the throws are really 6xs and not 5s, so they have to be a bit higher than 5s need to be. The trick is really a demotion of (6x,6x) and not of 5. (By demotion, I mean, with balls removed by reducing the siteswap value of some of the throws, thereby lowering the average.)
With respect to 7333, here's a hint: 7s are 9 times higher than 3s(!) Use a low, fast 4 fountain, chuck one really high, and then do an equally fast 3 cascade under it. The 7s are probably higher than you think. (My guess, based on nothing but your request.)
lol yea it sort of resembles 5551, but it seems to be much harder. I can run 5551 pretty well, but I just can't run the sprung cascade at all for some reason.
this trick stresses me out. On the 3 ball excercise when I'm switching from sync crossing back to box, I end up going into half shower for some reason. My reflexes are messing me up!
I just picked juggling back up after a long hiatus and goddamn youtube is a valuable resource. Yours are definitely among my favorite tutorials. I often have a hard time with others that either lack written instructions or have them in the video description, but the way you edit text into yours is so incredibly helpful. Keep up the good work, and thanks a lot.
very cool. i've never tried this before, but just looking at it i feel it would be easy for me to visualize it as something close to (6x,4)*. or maybe somewhere inbetween that and (6x,4)(4,2x)*. just a thought. great tutorial, as always.
(and i am the one hundred "like"! *___*)

@MangoPopper Yeah I've recently learnt sprung 423 (can't do it very well though). Draitube has a video with a couple of rounds of it.

@MangoPopper Another pattern you might enjoy is (8x,2x)(2x,4x)(2x,8x)(4x,2x) which happens to be much more doable than those variations.

Outstanding tutorial as always.
Yours are by a wide margin the best juggling tutorials on YouTube. Well broken down, clearly explained, great music, and even some jokes :P
Thanks to you, I am now working on this trick, as well as several others from your tutorials (4 Ball Mills Mess, (6x,4)*, etc.)
Please keep posting tutorials, especially for these sorts of moderate-difficult 4 and 5 ball tricks. One I would especially appeciate would be 7333.
thanks again!
