I'm probably missing something here but what exactly is the difference between the corkscrew and the horizontal mexican wave ?? They look so similar - I can't work out how/if they differ.

Dr. Noodlehead:
You're right, they ARE very similar EXCEPT:

In the corkscrew, both poi are going in the SAME direction. (It looks like one poi is attached to the tail of the other by an invisible thread...)

In the HMW they're going in OPPOSITE directions. (It looks like your poi are about to collide.)

i just figured out that HMW this past week. For some reason I was making harder than it was.

Aha...all becomes clear.

I can really tell the difference when I'm doing them now; the corkscrew is just fine, but the HMW is considerably more painful - they don't just look as if they're about to collide!

Cheers chuck
