Hip Catch

A compression pattern where the follower's forward travel is caught at the leader's hip instead of in the hands — the follower arrives beside the leader, is caught in a brief side-by-side compression, and rebounds back down the slot.

Lives in the same connection family as the sugar push (extension → compression → extension) but with the catch displaced to the side, which reads beautifully on slow, bluesy songs. A common musicality tool for marking a pause or drop in the music.
