Siete Setenta
Seven meets seventy. The Siete's travelling cross fused with the Setenta's hammerlock module — two casino classics welded into one advanced run.
Coach's notes — the how & why
What This Move Is
A combination figure that joins the Siete's travelling R-to-R cross with the Setenta's prep-hammerlock-unravel module. You enter through the siete's hand-switch, then feed straight into the setenta's signature wrap and resolve — a longer, woven run that only flows once both component moves are automatic.
Key Points
- Lead: Lead the siete's cross and hand-change cleanly, then transition into the setenta prep without a gap — the join is where it breaks down, so smooth that handoff above all. Keep the hammerlock arm low as always.
- Follow: Travel the siete, then read the setenta wrap coming — don't reset to neutral between the two halves; let one figure pour into the next.
- Timing: Multi-phrase: siete across one 8-count, setenta's prep / hammerlock / unravel across the next two, resolution after.
- Common mistake: Pausing at the seam between siete and setenta, which kills the flow and the lead clarity. The whole point is the seamless weld.
Style Notes
A combination of two documented moves — Siete (SL041) and Setenta (SL034) — earning its place because it's a named advanced run that teaches transition under load, not just a random pairing. Naming varies across casino scenes (siete setenta / siete-setenta); a "complicado" version adds further decoration.
