Level: Gold (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (SQQQQ)

Notes
The Natural Zig-Zag from PP has been a part of the Named Variations
(Gold) from the earliest editions of the Revised Technique onwards. 
Originally, it was featured along with its cousin, the Natural Zig-Zag,
a figure that has since been removed from the ISTD syllabus. We 
suspect that its utility – the Natural Zig-Zag from PP is considered a 
good replacement for a Feather Ending – has earned it a permanent 
place in the current ISTD and IDTA step lists. 

The Natural Zig Zag from PP is one of two figures that include a 
Feather Finish commenced Outside Partner on the Left Side – 
the other is the Hover Cross. 

The Checked Natural Zig Zag from PP
As with the Basic Weave, the Weave from PP, the Quick Natural Weave, 
the Natural Weave, and the Bounce Fallaway with Weave Ending, the 
Natural Zig-Zag from PP includes a Feather Finish. This Feather Finish 
may be checked to follow with Top Spin or Outside Swivel.
