The answer to 1 and 2, if they're crashing together that means you're not doing the butterfly correctly. I find doing a btl butterfly easiest from reverse. Rember to bend you're waist when they enter your legs, try almost bending 90 degrees over when they enter your legs. You feel like an idiot but just for you to get an idea.Another tip, when you have your hands between your legs have them as high as possible, don't be shy. Make sure to flick your wrists too, don't just let the momentum carry the poi to do the butterfly or else the momentum usually makes it crash into your ass.split-time weave?err, a weave is already split-time so don't worry about it. You probably mean a split-time figure 8. Basically an alternating cross-over.ok, just reread your post. what btl butterfly are you talking about?I think your talking about my other move. I have no tips for what i already said in my other post except for the fact your not going to get it right away and just practice lots, it's a toughy. Actually i do have some tips. I think what your doing wrong is STARTING from a butterfly. You don't start from a butterfly you start with one poi spinning forward at your sides and one spinning reverse at your sides.The poi spinning forward should go btl in the front whereas the one spinning in reverse should go into the back.They should enter at the same time. When they are on the upswing turn 180 either way really quickly and they should exit out with out touching. It then looks like you just turned a butterfly between your legs.------------------[]Dhuong-Vu Truong==== []Dhunky ====
