It's far from smooth at the moment..I'm still finding the exact moment I need to turn to keep the stick balanced and moving smoothly....It's all meg and strugz's fault for showing me anti-turn it feels so nice turning the opposite way to what your used to when you do a move and still pulling it off....ideal for newbies...now we don't say they did it worng coz they turned the wrong way, they just attempted the anti-turn version

I can fishtail squash raquets!
And snooker queues.
Though snooker queues are well hard cos of the undistributed weight difference...

yeah things with a eight difference are always fun, some juggling clubs are really hard, though most fishtailing is finding the point of balance, also i find fishtailing harder things makes it so when you do it with staff you are really good

360 Antispin half steve 
I've found spinning the opposite way of the stick while trying to do spins on the back of the neck is a really good way of showing how badly my posture is affecting just about everything.
--------------------
I spent my life learning to walk along on this big ball. Then I realised I couldn't fall off.

You get that without the spin on the back of the neck?
I don't know about anti-TURN half steves, it doesn't seem to have that same anti feeling as other anti moves...

Picked up a staff for the first time on Sunday...after I got back from Nottingham, it was straight onto the lessons on the website.
I've managed to not really be able to do the 'full rotation in each hand' because I can't consistantly keep the rotations constant, meaning I swap hands too early sometimes (don't ask me how).
Same with the helicopter.
I've managed to pass behind the back at hip level and above the head.
Ooooh, oooh, i can do the figure 8 too! 
That was a productive 30 minutes the night I got back then collapsed into bed

Really good practise today!!! Finally getting consistent with back of the neck (BOTN) fish tails, and BOTN weaves (reverse). Also playing with steves into head spins then back into steves. Rolls quite nicely onto the top of my head, but having trouble getting more than half a rotation before it rolls/spins off. Feels lovely when it works though...

erm... on the Back Of The Neck. Just fish tails or the weave motion done with the neck (and a bit of shoulder) instead of the wrist. Hope that makes more sense.

I've decided to call extra beats of propellors (retarded fishtail style) added to dual fishtails "flippers" cos the staff just flips over and then you continue fishtailing.
Plus it has added meaning cos flipper was a dolphin. (hence a fish, well mostly fish, well he had a tail. That good enough for me.)

Anti-Turn Jesus, Tried it last night, don't really think it's possible. Going across your front seems doable, but I can't transition to my back at all.
Doubles: Thank god Dave is back! Sweet as anti-spin doubles shenanigans.

such aaaaaas?
antispin sticks is messing me head up. i keep having to ask people
"Are these sticks going round? Am i still doing what i was doing before or am i doing something different now? Does this look like anything?"
cue: them looking at me strangely and saying "what? i don't know what you're doing."
and i can't tell if that means good or bad

Just like, doing the (I don't know what terminology you use in your head...) the half anti-spin, half-isolated reversed, one beat thing. (Though it's slightly more than one beat somehow, cos one end goes behind you.)
Doing that in butterfly, and parralel, and then trying to do it so that it's like split time... (I think in butterfly) so that one end is anti-spinning, while the other is doing the isolation. Haven't even tried flowers yet. Still feels awesome and super confusing. And ties really nicely into pendulums and other manipulation stuff...

I don't know about anti-TURN half steves, it doesn't seem to have that same anti feeling as other anti moves...
I can get a spin on the back of my neck while spinning the opposite way but havent managed to get it into the steve itself yet, workin on it though.
i know what you mean about the steve and getting that 'anti feeling' though.
oh i almost forgot, I did a matrix! just one mind.

I have this obsession with learning fishtails. N?x couldn't teach me... meg's videos couldn't teach me... ben-ja-min's videos couldn't teach me... someone better teach me next time i go to england!
I hate having to learn directly from people and then live in podunkville...
of course we all know i suck.
but I got the staff to spin on my head today so i'm feeling pround
like, actually do a rotor spin on top of my head, without any other thing touching it. drunken spinning leads to such fun and useless things.....
