97531 is a symmetrical 5 object siteswap where all the throws cross. The objects are thrown and then caught in the reverse order: the last object thrown is caught first (this object is passed from one hand straight into the other), and the first object thrown is caught last. This is the 5 object version of 7531.
The 9 is four times as high as the cascade, the 7 is a little more than half the height of the 9, the 5 is a little less than half the height of the 7 (the same height as the cascade), the 3 is about a quarter of the height of the 5, and the 1 is a pass from one hand to the other. All the objects should peak at the same time.
