i like very much the idea that tech stops being tech when you don't have to think about it.
so for me, right now, tech moves are: some antispin, some of the more complicated throws, foot catches and throws, some of the buzzsaw fountain variations ive been working on, most of the negative space stuff.
recently intuitive is another category....
but then are you always saying 'tech' is something different for each person? or is there some level you reach that allows you to become 'tech'?

It's all about the balance poiple, too much tech and no flow looks sloppy, too much flow and no tech looks lame. A good degree of both looks great.
Surely someone agrees with that???

People talk about 'Technical' poi quite a lot. Sometimes in a positive way, but often in a way that's almost derogatory.
What does it mean to you? What do you think it means to others?
Moves that are difficult?
Ugly moves?
Moves where your feet are stationary?
Moves that concentrate on details rather than the whole?
if you dance, can your poi be technical?
can technical poi 'flow', or is flow the opposite of tech?

which i think pretty much shows that its a term that has very little use since everyone has a different idea of what it means.
