So...Low Reels and Low Waves are essentially the same thing, right?

See https://www.homeofpoi.com/lessons_all/teach/Low-Wave-3_8_25 for above comment

I believe one is counter clockwise, and the other is clockwise.

It seems like in the Low Wave video she's going from butterfly to reel and back. But when she shows the back view she's just doing low reels.

Whenever I try to go behind my back I always get it on 2 spins. Not 1 what am I doing wrong?
