2 Beat Windmill and Cork screw
Uploaded by Derek_Faughn

This is the standing up version of the "corkscrew"
Begin with a forward swing. Poi are 180deg apart.
Turn your hips side on and alternate overhead swinging infront and behind you.
Swing your arms out with the Poi will make the pattern much larger.

Thinking of this as a standing "corkscrew" totally messed me up. Think of it more as a split-time "chasing the sun". Maybe that will help

So is it basically an Alternate butterfly over your head with an extended beat?

No it is not an Alternate Butterfly. In Butterfly the poi go opposite directions whereas in this move the poi are rotating in the same direction.
Hope that helps

maybe try with one hand first and think of doing a figure 8 with one loop in front of you and one loop behind so that they cross over above your head. add in the second poi to chase it and move in split time. this move tends to look better if you keep your hands really close and move fast. doing this and the butterfly moves with poi that are different colours (i.e. the left one is orange the other is green) looks really cool

Wish there was a bigger pitcure maybe with some instructional sound I understand that by this point you should have a firm grasp of things but sometimes I watch one like this and then another with sound and slow motion and i can grasp it faster im like running inside looking and running outside trying for a few mins then back in Lol

I can do the corkscrew with no problem, but every time I try this one, I smack myself in the face (or the arms). Any tips?
