Low Turn
Uploaded by Derek_Faughn

This is a good move for changing direction of the Poi from forward to reverse swinging.
Begin by doing the forward swing.
On the down swing rotate your hips 90deg and turn your left hand upside-down and swing the Poi past your hip to behind your back.
You right hand on the same down swing also turns upside-down and swings the Poi also behind the back.
You will see that both Poi are swinging behind your back.
When the Poi start swinging down from behind your back rotate your hips another 90deg and pass your right hand infront of your hip to swing that Poi infront of your body.
You will now be facing the opposite direction and the Poi will be swinging in reverse.
To change direction again pass both Poi infront of your body as you rotate your hips to original position.

It would help if someone would do a diagram of what I'm supposed to do with my left hand... I can do it with the right alone, but my left hand has no idea. I'm just getting bruises.

Every now and then I do it by accident, but I can't figure out how I do it so that I can do it consistantly! I keep getting a tennis ball to the head... Misswolfe: Can you tell us exactly what clicked?

I found that bending my knees and getting closer to the ground helped me to get the poi swinging behind my back. Now I understand the motion I don't need to get as low.
