Wibble = throw, tapback, tapback, tapback, tapback, tapback....
where each 'tapback' is hitting the handle of the poi back the way it came.
If you make contact further toward the center of the poi body the poi won't wibble back straight away, instead it will do 1 wrap around your arm, then wibble off again. This doesn't have a specific wibbling name, it's just a wibble as far as i'm concerned, perhaps a propellor followed by a wibble if you want to get technical.
But 'Wibbling' is more 'a familiy' or 'style' of moves than a single specific thing.
Propellor = poi spinning round constantly in same direction, exactly the same as the 'propellor' devilstick move.
Doing this is tricky and releys on you making contact with the poi at the center of gravity (CoG), then sliding up toward the handle, poi jumps off a little, reset hand position to CoG. I find using 2 fingers is best.
So generally if the poi continues in the same direction then it's a propellor, if it changes direction it's a wibble, the 2 are closely related.
Both are considered 'Contact Poi' since you can make the 'throw' so tiny that the poi remains in contact with your body. Or you can throw it high and continue the propellor or wibble.
oh yeah:
wibble = 1 spin
dibble = 2 spins
ibble was a name given to the move where you tap the tail, then tap the head, so :
ibble = 1/2 spin (ie a proper juggling tapback)

You can wibble under a leg or behind your back (I can toss one over my shoulder from back to front or from front to back but i cannot yet wibble btb)
You can do double wibbles and triple wibbles (dibbles and tribbles)
You can wibble, dibble or tribble off off the fore arm of the hand holding the opposite poi ~ inwards or outwards (harder).
You can link all those crazy throw patterns together into 1 seemless wibble.
I can now wibble once around my ankle and back up to my hand. Which i'm very happy abount.
I can almost pull off a wibble around my neck.
I can now wibble both poi at the same time in 2 hands, bit better than when i saw you last garthy but still not quite up to scratch.
You can wibble 2 poi off one hand (can't get this at all yet)
You can wibble between many poiple. Me and Rickets got 3 poi wibbling a kind of shower juggling pattern by standing next to each other.
You can hold 1 poi between your hands and wibble the other on the poi body. (Great idea someone came up with the other day in the forums, can't remember who, sorry)
Well, that's about the state of wibbling at the moment, thanks for all the support from poiple.

"...before I hurt my wrist"
Then when you mess up, just grab your wrist in agony. (Note, make sure to be consistant as to which wrist you grab.)
