Posted: I haven't got a clue how to spin poi. I have read through tutorials, looked closely at videos, and I just can't imitate. I'm not even spinning a single poi right, I don't understand what motion my wrist should be doing or where my hands should be positioned.
Furthermore I can't even get a good grip on the poi because the loops are too huge for my fingers It's all very exasperating. Is it far more simple than I think or am I missing something entirely?
I am sick already of achieving nothing but a ball bouncing off my head and a ton of bruises.

Posted: Learning t0o spin the poi behind your back is actually more difficuilt than people give it credit for, because you can't see the poi and Your body naturally want to pull them back to the front of you (usually resulting in smacking you in the arse or face). start with butterfly combinations and weaves first and then above the head behind the back is easier from over the head moves and it gets your arms used to working behind you. D.V.D'S are good too "Sage behind the flame" has alot or neat tricks that aren't that difficuilt.
