 531 is a symmetrical 3 object siteswap where all the throws cross. The objects are thrown and then caught in the reverse order: the last object thrown is caught first (actually this object is not thrown, it's just passed from one hand straight into the other), and the first object thrown is caught last. The right hand throws the first ball at 5 ball height (a 5), then the left hand throws the next ball at 3 ball height (a 3), about a quarter of the height of the 5, and then the other ball is passed straight from the right hand to the left hand (a 1). Then the same three beats are repeated, starting with the left hand throwing a 5 with the ball that was just passed to it. All the 3s are done with the same ball. When the pattern is done with the right heights and a good even rhythm, the 5 and the 3 peak at the same time.
