yes....

you posted this on pip, and im still trying to fathom what the hell your onabout...

i can see why ttn is usefull one handed, ive often nfound myself transitioning a one-hand butterfly and in the wrong side of a ttn, but i have no idea how you would do it. Do you turn the hand?

I found 2 Versions to do it - you either can influence one Poi to change its plane, giving a little twist to only one of them. Or you can move your hand "between" the Poi, kind of a short throw and you catch it with the other Poi on top.
The 2nd Version is easier in the beginning but you have less control over it.
The 1st Version opens up more possiblilities in order of control - you can move between globes (Butterfly with Planes 90 degree apart) and TTN. This was when I first "understood" the one handed Butterfly.

You can either turn your hand, wich is kind of uncomfortable, or you can spin with the strings tangled. Sounds strange but one gets used to it - this way it is possible to do the 4Beat TTN..

All in all I realised those differences first when playing with meteors which I only can recommend in order to learn those moves. Gonna open up a meteor thread itself too . . .


PS.: Sorry, but it would be nice to reply on PIP too because i have heavy problems accessing HOP in the last time (95% Gateway timeout). Thx for your understanding
