Mixed Words: ACAC and BCBC

When combining a hybrid like C with a non-hybrid like A or B, a prop-reversal is necessary.

When combining a hybrid like C with a non-hybrid like A or B, a prop-reversal is necessary. Let’s look at the word ACAC.

In this variation, the left hand does a reversal on every step. Give it a try:

Start
1
2
3
4
Letter α. Left hand static hold at south; Right hand static hold at north.Letter A, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand pro-spin shift south to west; Right hand pro-spin shift north to east.Letter C, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand anti-spin shift west to north; Right hand pro-spin shift east to south.Letter A, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand pro-spin shift north to east; Right hand pro-spin shift south to west.Letter C, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand anti-spin shift east to south; Right hand pro-spin shift west to north.

Prop-reversals are also required with BCBC, as shown in this example:

Letter α. Left hand static hold at south; Right hand static hold at north.Letter A, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand pro-spin shift south to west; Right hand pro-spin shift north to east.Letter C, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand anti-spin shift west to north; Right hand pro-spin shift east to south.Letter A, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand pro-spin shift north to west; Right hand pro-spin shift south to east.Letter C, alpha (hands opposite), Split-Same timing. Left hand anti-spin shift west to south; Right hand pro-spin shift east to north.

Here, the right hand is prop-reversing after every step. Eventually, it returns to home.
