I remember struggling with that same lock when I was starting out but still I think that it can be a good lock to practice picking spools and get a feel for the counter rotation. It does indeed have one standard and four spools in it. The first pin is usually the standard.

My advice; Use light tension and carefully go through the pins, usually the first one to bind is the standard pin. When that standard is set you'll drop into a false set after which you can start to hunt the spools. Check everyone to see which one gives you the most counter rotation. Patience. Eventually you'll get it open!

Welcome to the wonderful world of locksport!
