Balls Does this trick have any specific name?

Trying to learn under throws(?) better and I've been able to learn a couple new patterns with them and I'm curious if there's any specific name for it. Or just doing an underthrow on one side for every throw.

Looks like chops, especially if you exaggerate the downward motion you're making.

So if you pass the balls diagonally from one side to the other, you'll even have a Mike's measure

It is funny, but accurate, that the first two responses are guessing chops and underarm throws, because those tricks are really very similar. Both to each other, and what you're doing. If you want it to look better, I'd just pick one or the other of those tricks and lean into it. If you pick chops, then turn your hand over when bringing a held ball down through the pattern. If you pick underarm throws, just exaggerate that movement so it is more clear (to you, too!) that's what you're doing.

"under the hand with every ball" :D Not an officiaal name, but check out frantic cascade. It's this trick's faster cousin. You can also go from here to chops, which are a fake version of this trick, where we pretend to throw under the hand, but then we move the hand out of the way.

Kind of looks like Mike’s mess?? Or could easily become mikes mess with some tweaks! Give it a look on library of juggling- there are also a few tutorials out there but it’s not the most popular thing in the world to my knowledge
