The base of this bolón consists of combining the tupis forming pentagons (as in the "Pentabola") and hexagons.

I have marked the pentagons in blue and the hexagons in red.

We will start by making a pentagon with 5 tupis (1). When we have completed this round we will make the next one which will consist of making a hexagon with each of the tupis of the first pentagon (2-3-4-5-6).
The third round is a combination of pentagons and hexagons with the tupis forming a "V" of the previous round (7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16).
Now we will start with the fourth round which is again a combination of pentagons and hexagons (17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26).
Now we will have to repeat rounds two and one (in this order); that is, the fifth round will be composed of hexagons (27-28-29-30-31) and the sixth and final round will be composed of pentagons (32-33-34-35-36).

Tips:

To make this ball I recommend that you first practice with the Pentabola and when you have a clear idea of ​​how to make it, try it with this one.

Even if the scheme seems very complicated at first, you will see that in the end you will love making it.
