OneWheelDave: i agree. just because moves are matched technically, cultural background, philosophy, vibe, presence will never be the same. from the looks of it here on HoP. Poi community is anything goes, as long as you are spinning poi, the rest doesn't really matter.
Glowsticking (freehand and glowstringing) has a specific culture behind the dance, has a set of philosophy and etiquette with it. and other than discussion of techniques and style on Glowsticking.com... spreading the importance of this culture, philosophy, etiquette is just as valued (if not more).
maybe that's the real reason for seperation.

So when I say glowsticking.com embodies the collective culture of glowstickers, I am pretty confident I am correct.
Well, shall we go?

Easy.
Well, Ive done that with equpiment of my choice (beamers, then aerotechs in nets).
Whats next?
How about watching some glowstring vids, then replicating the routine using your aerotechs in nets, using exactly the same moves, style and speed.
(have some friends standing by to get you to the hospital afterwards )
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Are you saying that the speed of how you spin determins what you call something?
Or something else entirely?
The fact that the different weights means that you cant actually spin an aerotech at nearly the same speed as a glowstick.
Its got something to do with Physics

I reckon you could do a routine with the same moves and style (within reason) but a different speed (which would obviously change the style somewhat).
I also reckon that the speed something's moving when spun shouldn't be a basis for working out new categories. If it were, how would you measure it, beats per minute? Theoretically, you could end up with two people doing the same routine with the same poi/glowsticks, copying each other, but if one spins at a slightly different speed, it'd be classed as something else, and I think that's just completely unworkable.

All poi-ers know this- it's not about the moves; think of the cliche off the newbie doing the 3-beat weave really fast; it looks duff. Yet an expert, through sheer style can make that same (but slower) 3-beat weave work really well.

and more on that point. the methodology of developing style in turn end up being different for glowstring and heavier pois.
very often do i hear poi-ers say that people should apply body movement and learn to dance while swinging poi. i totally agree wtih that. this falls under the category of what OneWheelDave said as not fitting with the style (much like fast wraps with beamer poi). and i don't think one should expect you can simply transfer this methodology directly over and apply to glowstringing.

"i think people who claim all moves/style is transferable and all medium should be used the same way is the sole reason why i like to encourage all glowstringer to move away from traditional poi moves."
Has anybody said not to focus on the tools advantages?
I don't think they have, just that you can't tell people which moves will work well and which won't...
..because everyone is unique.
