Hints: Counting every beat 1 to 8 is useful to keep the time and coordinate what to do. The first manipulation is left-handed, which may initially require some practice. The manipulator should turn quickly out to the left of A after placing that substitution to make place for A's pass on beat 4. Then the manipulator catches two clubs in a row and B and C can make it easy by making them lofty. For B this is the last pass before walking and they can start walking early immediately after or even slightly before that pass, since the opposite pass gets carried to them. The previous A is now the new manipulator, carries the pass, and then substitutes a pass, while B is walking, stepping quickly out to the left at the end to open B's passing lane. At the end, there are two zips (beat 8 and 1) that usually become naturally -- the first zip is often automatic and the second happens when realizing that the next substitution is lefthanded. Canonically, one of those two zips should be behind the back.

When Zippy became popular, some in the community started exploring variations on the same base pattern and even 5-person combinations of two manipulators. TODO: Here is a spreadsheet enumerating X possible variations.

Beyond Zippy

After Zippy, many more patterns explored ambidextrious base patterns. They can be challenging and interesting, but they tend to be less well known. They usually have an even period and do not repeat on both sides -- there is no equivalence of a north-wall pattern for 3 passers and a manipulator (yet), odd period patterns simply have two jugglers doing the right side of the pattern and two jugglers doing the left side, without ever swapping.
