Notes:
-
Swing Chain Thru is the same as Spin Chain Thru [Plus] except
that each 3/4 Turn is replaced with a 1/4 Turn.
-
Think 'half, quarter, half, quarter' or 2-1-2-1.
-
Swing Chain Thru can also be called from an Alamo Ring: start
with the R-H (unless otherwise specified) alternating hands Cast
Off 1/2, 1/4, 1/2, and 1/4. Ends in an Alamo Ring.
This usage is rare, and somewhat controversial. It would be wise for the caller
to specify the starting hand.
