3 Ball Half Shower
From JuggleWiki
The name of this pattern comes from the single direction of the upper arc resembling 3 Ball Shower,
but with a normal Cascade arc returning, not a fast flat pass -- so only Half-way to Shower.
One hand aims to go Over, the other hand aims to go under, trying for a single axis of symmetry.
The Outside toss that goes Over is the same used in Jugglers Tennis, but for this one, only one hand does it.
For site-swap, these are all '3' tosses, varied in height by how you toss and catch.
There is a version of an upper arc in one direction and a lower arc in the other direction for all numbers of balls.
The related pattern 3 Ball Rainbow makes a third lowest arc, each level at a different direction.
Patterns called High-Low Showers have both arcs in the same direction.
To get started with making very different heights of tosses for this same form, see '5300' at 2 Ball Half Shower.
Then, you could try:

[edit] 5700
A true '7' will not fit under an ordinary ceiling, but it can be to any heights you can manage.
One hand tosses a narrow arc, the other hand tosses way over it, trying to keep a "catch-catch toss-toss" timing.
This pattern will start and connect as '5 5700 22' suggesting an easy way to learn:
[edit] 5700 3-Up Pirouette
People who are fond of site-swap are often fond of taking things to numerical extremes:
[edit] 9300
The '9's would be out of sight if you could do them, with the '3's almost flat.
So, when does Half-shower become Shower?
You be the judge.
That pattern will start and connect as '6 9300 330', and might also suggest:
[edit] 9300 3-Up Pirouette
However, as similar as the two '0's are, turning under a '3', and returning to toss a '3', are much more difficult.
You can see that the transition '6' takes a significant part in what shows as the pattern,
with no Half-shower effect for a single round of the site-swap.
