(6,6)(6x,2)*, short for (6,6)(6x,2)(6,6)(2,6x), is a symmetrical synchronous 5 object siteswap where all the throws are the same height. The pattern alternates between a synchronous pair of non-crossing throws and a single crossing throw, with the crossing throw being made by the left and right hands alternately.
In this pattern, three balls are being juggled in a pattern similar to 504, while the other two balls each stay on their own side of the pattern.
You can transition directly in and out of this pattern from a simpler synchronous pattern such as (6x,4)*.
