"Db" redirects here. For the 12 ball pattern, see "Halfshower".

Db97531 is a symmetrical 7 object siteswap where all the throws cross, and the objects are thrown and then caught in the reverse order. This is the 7 object version of b97531. The d (a "13") is four times as high as the cascade, and almost 1 1/2 times as high as the b (an "11"). All the objects should peak at the same time.

Thomas Dietz was the first person to do a db97531 and go back to a qualified basic pattern on video,(at 7:04) in 2003. (Ben Beever is reported to have done this trick before that, but not on video). Daniel Eaker was the first person to connect two of them and go back to a qualified pattern.(video) Lauge Benjaminsen was the first person to do three connected db97531s with a qualify afterward,(video) as well as the first to do four rounds to a qualify.(video) The youngest person ever to do a db97531 to a qualify was Leo Daniels, at age 12.(video)
