963

963 is a symmetrical 6 object siteswap. The 9s should be about 2 1/2 times as high as the 6s (which are the same height as the basic 6 ball pattern juggled at the same speed), and the 3s should be about 1/6 of the height of the 6s. There are three balls that are always thrown as 9s, two that are always thrown as 6s, and one that is always thrown as a 3.
This is an excited state siteswap, starting in the state 1111101. You can transition from the basic pattern to 963 using a 7, and back to the basic pattern with a 5:
