Need I ask more? Right now I'm going backwards, a quick wrap around the wrists and voi-la...it's not quite that easy for me yet of course because I'm still practicing but yeah...just curious how everybody here goes about it. Much <3!~J

I've got a tutorial up on youtube about shortening your poi, it may help a bit. I also talk a bit about it at the start of this tutorial, mainly just showing that you can shorten your poi from spinning forwards too, but afterwards I go on to talk about buzzsaw fountains and variations, so that may not interest you.
If you want more ways to seamlessly shorten your poi, let me know and I'll post a video showing some of the various ways I like to shorten my poi.

Might be worth seeing anyway.

Alright, I'll make the video today. It should give you a few ideas on how to shorten your poi without breaking the flow of your moves.

with practice in shortening your strings/socks/chains and plane control it is easy to transition into this from any of your weaves forward or reverse

I've done my video. Sorry it was such a long time coming, but hopefully it helps you out and gives you some ideas. It's just something you get a feel for through practice and trying new methods.

No problem, looking back on it, it wasn't my best, just remember the concepts of when in reverse, it shortens on the outside of the forearm, and lengthens on the inside. And when forwards, it's lengthens on the outside, shortens on the inside. Keeping that thought in mind, try and make up your own methods, you can do it from anything, a nice easy one is from reverse thread the needle, I should've mentioned that.
