Reel Turns for Poi (Basic Poi Spinning Tutorial) 

I realize it's been four years since you put up these videos, but I just wanted to say that your instruction style is very clear and helpful. Thanks for making these.

The POV footage helps a ton with figuring out how to do the moves.

You are so professional and so good at this. I’m a beginner just got them today. And your instructions are the best.!!

Just started learning Poi yesterday and your videos are the best so far! this is definitely more tricky than it looks! Hoping to practice every day to be ready for summer. one of the issues i am finding is my left wrist is much less coordinated, especially going backwards or trying to switch direction, but its already getting a bit easier. I see alot of crossover with learning piano, and that learning one arm at a time can help before adding together but mostly to get the fundamentals down with Poi. Stalls are also something I am having an issue with, but practicing. Oddly enough, I am finding this is helping with my carpal tunnel pain, so thank you!

This is amazing. Your videos are getting better and better. if it wasn't for you I definitely would have given up a long time ago

thank you! I've progressed more in a day than I have in a few years of random experimentation :D

The POV angles are very helpful. Thanks

When I’m learning new moves, I’ve found that practicing with “air poi” first helps get the move set in your brain without messing up. Then attempt the move on the first swing; stall; attempt; stall etc. it’s much easier & more efficient than trying to launch into it while you are already spinning. Also, I’ve noticed that it makes a difference which way -left or right- you try to turn depending on which direction you are spinning -forwards or backwards. So if you are trying to turn left spinning forward & cant; try turning right while spinning forward.

Thanks so much for breaking these moves down. Very helpful! Feeling more confident and with smoother transitions

Thanks for the vid! For anyone looking to learn the first hip reel I found it really helped to learn the tictac maneuver and also skip ahead to the second reel as an intermediate step

Thanks for all your amazing tutorial! The way you explain, show and edit the videos is so helpful! Big thanks, appreciation for all your work! Peace

You are the best ~ I’m learning poi thanks to you this quarantine

wow...amazing this help a lot

Hi, im new to poi, and I'm wondering if there is a specific way that the little grip balls should be held. My natural inclination is to hold the little grip balls inbetween my pointer-finger and middle-finger; kind of like holding a cigarette. Is this wrong? I see you're holding the grip balls a little different, so I think I'll try that

awesome
