Spin can be described like a spin, when Poi moves
the 'right' direction and body moves the 'right' dirrect-
ion.
Same like anti-spin, when Poi moves the 'wrong'
direction and body moves the 'right' dirrection.
----
It is more like feeling when spinning, to be called
this way, but it helps to describe next two. They're
may known, but there may haven't serious thread
about'em yet.

[Couter anti-spin]
Spinning, when Poi moves the 'right' dirrection,
but body moves the 'wrong' direction.
According to spin. Move like this add beats to a
move rather than remove.
Example:
'Counter spin corkscrew 360'.(That fail into cork-
screw hyperloop.)
[Counter spin]
Spinning, when Poi moves the 'wrong' dirrection
and body moves the 'wrong' direction as well.
This is harder to imagine, but the body moves
rather towards the move of Poi.
Example:
Drunky style.

Ahhh... I called it body anti-spin... same same...
Counter is probably better, since it's less confusing.
"(That fail into cork-screw hyperloop.)"
It doesn't fail
It was intentional

It's true.
It's also true that poi-spinners and staff spinners can't interbreed without producing hideous beared babies with 19 toes and a third nipple.
So, er... did we agree on a name then?
