Tips[]

  • Hold the rings with your fingers spread wide for better control.
  • Hold the rings horizontal, not tilted inward, so they won't wobble.
  • Widen the pattern before transitioning into pancakes from the basic pattern.

  • Outside pancake throws - Outside throws done as pancakes, with the bottom of a ring rotating in the direction of the hand the ring is thrown from. (video)
  • Vertax pancakes - a ring stays vertical and rotates visibly around the vertical axis, similar to helicopters with clubs. (video)
  • Pancake neck catch - a pancake throw caught around the neck. (video)
  • Pancake pull down - a pull down with one of the rings thrown as a pancake and caught around the neck, normally landing after the rest of the rings are already around the neck. (video)
