Forums > Beginner Poi Moves > What's your "base" move?

As in, when you just pick up your poi and you just "spin" them - what do you do whilst thinking about tricks or idly spinning them?

I always resort/return to low-reels - no idea why. I practically never do 3-beat weaves anymore, if I want to "fill" space, it is always low reels, likewise when I first pick up poi, it's the first "move" i'll do and if I'm talking whilst spinning - again it's
always low reels

As for why - I'm think it's because it just feels really nice, keeps the planes neat (in performing), it's easy to turn with (but then so are weaves...), doesn't interfere with eye-level so I can talk over the poi and meh - I don't know. But I've been doing it for years now...

Just wondered what everyone else does - and how they think it reflects their styles...

Burner of Toast
Spinner of poi
Slacker of enormous magnitude

oooh oooh I've thought of mine!

same direction TTN throws. As easy as Monica Lewinski in an almost circular office and deffiately what I spend most of my spin-chat time doing

Let's relight this forum

Um actually tonight it seemed to be BTB BF wall plane 2 beat weave, which I did every time I was talking to someone... Good practise I guess
