|  29th Nov 2008 7:57 AM I find it much easier to get into the BTB butterfly by first starting in a normal *backward swing* butterfly. On the upswing of any particulat beat, I direct my  Poi past my hips and behind my back. I  know it sounds crazy but I then let my hands cross and scoop them up towards the sky and I find that in doing this I get a pretty flat and even BTB butterfly. Hope that helps some. |

|  9th Apr 2009 10:54 PM I agree with ChaoticHarmony... I find it way easier to start in front of myself with a backwards butterfly and then take it BTB... sometimes I even let the  Poi do one extra beat before getting them into BTB butterfly... |

|  21st Jul 2010 8:17 AM My problem is not being able to keep the  Poi Spinning level against the plane. They'll either tilt so they hit my shoulders/neck, or the other way so that they hit the back of my knees. I'll definitely try the tricks you suggested here though, I might do better with the reverse butterfly lol |
