726 is a symmetrical 5 object siteswap with the same throwing rhythm as the 3 object pattern 423: right-pause-right-left-pause-left... with a 1-beat pause between throws with the same hand. The 7s cross, going more than twice as high as a cascade juggled at the same speed, and the 6 is a non-crossing throw about 2/3 of the height of the 7. In this pattern three balls are juggled in a cascade at 7 ball height, and the other two balls go up and down on the sides of the pattern at 6 ball height.

726 starts in the same state as 771, so you can switch directly from one pattern to the other.
