Anti spin weave

so my antispin weave has four beats not three

its basically a condensed 4-petal antispin flower that weaves

its definitely not a weave properly antispun nor can i get it to to look like ed's or rev's ultratight versions

request for a private session on antispin weaves at play please ed

are all weaves not like flowers condensed down? my antispin weave is definetly like a condensed down 3 petal flower.. and i reckon you could argue a normal 3 bt weave is like a flower with a turn with three (or no petals..??) petals... that was how the theory was working in my mind anyway...

"are all weaves not like flowers condensed down?"

they are indeed - as you just showed, the idea is less intuitive when applied to 'normal' spinning but it still holds.

i just can't for the life of me work out how to reduce the antispin weave i can do down to 3bts...

all the beats happen in the same place as they would do with a normal weave, keep your hands constantly moving like when you do a weave, dont do lock outs like a flower.. and im geussing you extra beat is when the poi is on its own side.. practise spinning forewards moving from your arms crossed (on your right side) right over left.. bring your right arm all the way around your left arm (keep it still, dosnt even need to be spinning a poi) so it ends up on the other side of your body(crossed underneath your left arm, all in one beat. .. eeek sketchy description :o hope it helps anyway, good luck. shall be much spinning sometime soon i reckon

much appreciated oli - the extra beat is exactly where you thought it would be

that description is great and i reckon practicing the 1bt transition without a poi in the other hand is exactly what i need to do...

look forward to playing again soon

having trouble d/l'ing your vids rev?

Josh

would love to see these, or in fact any other anti spin vids. links are dead..

saw garthy yesterday and he says my anti-spin weave has 3 beats

turns out, i just can't count.

i think i've said that somewhere before, but its even more true now

Yakumo, you could try this vid where Ed LTC does some lovely tight antiweaving in a lift.
