Im not sure if Im understanding you right but it sounds like youre getting into point isolations there? If so, it may be possible to hit it for a second but dont think you could be doing full point isolated hybrid weaves...

but only one hand has to point isolate, so it's a bit easier. Plus I'm sure you could get the effect with normal isolations, the poi would just overlap a bit...

Point isolations are just about impossible with poi no matter how many youre doing it with.

I've seen loads! Granted, they're not always for a full circle...

weird thread to put this in but,

I think you mean, if you did a hybrid, but with the hands split-time instead of together, would you end up with same-time ?

yes.

After seeing your recent attempt at a poi vid, I dont think anyone could be so mistaken

i can fit flowers in that room, but not into the camera lens... oh for a wide angle...

Anyway, you have a camera now, and yet I haven't seen any videos from you... So you can't talk...

Yeah, that part's not quite accurate - it actually means 'this is the front half of a windmill in front of the head', since you can't do a windmill that's entirely in front of your head.

So, a fountain contains half a windmill, but not a full one.

Correction. You CAN do a full windmill in front of your head using inside planes... However, I think we have another name for that.

Regardless, there is no windmill in a fountain.

not if you want to have an easy time of isolating it

dont make me use your own source against you again!

if it doesnt contain a windmill then why is the club going behind his head?

No-one's saying that the clubs never go behind you. They quite obviously do at some points, just not the point you're saying they do.

That pic's of the opposite shoulder circle - the bit after the top circle.

If the windmill was in the fountain, the top circle would be behind the head and the next circle, the opposite shoulder circle, would be in front. Since it's not, it shows that the fountain doesn't contain a windmill.

edit.. extra bit.
Out of interest, do you dispute that a fountain has 6 circles for each club?
I'm holding to Jillings' definition, which has 6 circles, but with a windmill added, you're going to be doing 7 with each club.
