 972 is a symmetrical 6 object siteswap where all the throws cross, with the rhythm right-left-pause-left-right-pause. The 9s should be almost twice as high as the 7s, and both throws in each 97 pair should peak at the same time. In this pattern three objects are always thrown as 9s, and the other three are always thrown as 7s. Each set of three is juggled in a high cascade.

This is an excited state siteswap, starting in the state 1111011. You can transition from the basic pattern to 972 using two 7s, and then back to the basic pattern with a 4:
