This is another multiplex pattern (two or more balls thrown at the same time from one hand). This one though, is called a Stacked Multiplex, because the balls are thrown stacked on top of each other, and both come down in the same hand they were thrown from.


Instructions:

This one is a little bit tougher than the Split Multiplex, and it's definitely harder to make it look good. What's difficult about this pattern, is keeping the multiplex throws symetrical on both sides.




Start by practicing the stacked multiplex throw with one hand. Don't forget to practice with your off hand too.






Now, try both hands at the same time. Concentrate on making the two sides syncronized.






Practice as I may, mine always end up looking something like this.






Now just add the last ball. Treat it just like the 3-Ball Columns.

This is a good looking trick when you transition in and out of the 5-Ball Cascade.
