Practise may make it perfect, its truth, the pain you feel(its "delta muscle" mostly) you feel cause you move your body inna way you did not befor. If it hurts, stop it. You'll better to make some basic muscle heating befor practising, to start up your body.



Try it with one hand fist, in wheel pland and wall plane and both directions. After a while you find backward spinning far easier(especially wheel plane).



Than put both hands together and close to each other and try to spin in parallel behind your back the same way like with one hand.



Than slowly try to separate your hands and slowly split the timing to get Figure 8 behind the back.



Looking into mirror can help you to clear your planes too.



light,

I'm sorry but i dont understand the terminology 'wheel plane' and 'wall plane'. And when you say figure of 8 do you mean the 1 beat weave?

Shoulders hurt like hell, i thought it wouldnt be as hard on them, cos i do gymnastics but hey, no pain, no gain.

Wheel plane - Its like one Poi on your right side on on your left.(like Weave)

Wall plane - Like one Poi in the front of you, one behind the back(like Butterfly)

Warm up first, practice spinning everywhere you want to with one instead of two, but remember to do it with both.

your muscles will catch up in time, give it a few weeks of daily practice and you'll notice improvement for sure
