Another very common four club pattern in addition to the fountain is called columns. So, in
this pattern, instead of each club traveling from the center to the outside, and the clubs
moving in a circle, what's going ti happen is each club is just going to go straight
up and down, and your hands are going to move underneath to make that work. So, if you just
do two in one hand it looks something like this. You can see the clubs are just moving
straight up and down in columns, and my hand moves underneath them to accommodate the clubs.
This, actually, some people find to be easier than doing the fountain pattern, which looks
like this. You can tell the clubs are rotating and each going over. So fountain, columns,
fountain. Now, some people actually learn columns the four clubs first, because you
don't have to worry as much about getting the club angle right with your wrist. You
just have to go straight up and down. Switching in between the fountain and column is pretty
trivial. All you have to do is stop throwing out, and start throwing straight up. But so,
this is what four club columns looks like. We go into the fountain, then straight into
columns. Fountain, columns. Something like that. Hopefully you wouldn't drop, but that
is what four club columns looks like.
