Improving whirling in all the modes

Refine poi whirls across the four timing/direction modes, with an emphasis on same-direction same-time and split-time opposites. The goal is reliable mode control without losing clean plane orientation, so you can choose vertical, wall, 45° or intentionally bent planes rather than drifting.

Nick Woolsey uses a wall-plane feedback drill to tighten your circles and reduce wobble: keep the heads travelling close and parallel, with each poi passing near the opposite hand so you can almost grab it mid-rotation. Build this in both directions to stabilise spacing, alignment, and consistency before switching modes.
