The secret to becoming a poi master
by admin on Nov.08, 2009, under Learning Poi
There is one thing above all else that will turn you from being an average spinner to being an amazing spinner. The secret word? Transitions. These are the things that allow you to go from one trick to the next without any pause in between. Very often, people either ignore them or forget about them, but they are so important!!
There is no point learning hundreds of different moves if you can’t link them all together in one seamless motion. However, i personally find them the hardest to learn and perfect. If you want them to look good it takes a lot of practise, but the rewards at the end are great!
Try different types of transitions. Stalls make a crazy way of going from the wall plane to side plane (or the other way round). There are so many possibilities, but this is what makes poi so good, the ability to personalise it at every step!!
