From JuggleWiki

See 531 for the parent pattern, here with a '3' added.

Default hand positions in Juggling Lab make a bad ball conflict:

Many site-swaps do that in Juggling Lab.

So, you adjust hand positions:

...until it makes a nice and interesting pattern.
One hand always tosses a '3', and one ball keeps going around from the '1' and back again.
The other hand is doing a slow 501.

So, you fool around with it more:

You've got a rather advanced move here,
with the fast Under-arm toss from a short '1' pass, back to catch the '5',
but the height of the '5' gives you that time.

You may prefer to do the '5' as Under-arm:

Making more of Mills Mess attempts with this pattern, crossing more and more,
is not suggested by such an irregular pattern.

If you still wanted to mess around, you could separate toss and catch a lot:

Both hands would be making Claw catches.

Here is the '5' done Outside or as an Over:

That makes a slow 3 Ball Half Shower with an extra reversed '1' pass.

You can often add a toss value equal to the number of balls to async patterns,
including this one which was a '3' added to '531' to start with.
Being then odd-period, it will allow a Jugglers Tennis variation:

Making variations can be a lot of why, and how, people keep on juggling.
