Playing with reels, chase the sun, and extensions

Revisit same-time, same-direction reels in poi, focusing on efficient wrist-led hip reels and shoulder reels with minimal arm effort. The drill emphasises consistent orientation and spotting, keeping your wheels rolling in a chosen direction regardless of which way you face, while adding a small, controlled turn to support stability rather than oversteering.

Link the patterns into Chase The Sun, travelling smoothly between shoulder and hip reels, then explore adding extensions as a deliberate variation and returning cleanly to two-wheel planes. Nick Woolsey frames this as consistency training: repeat each reel, connect them, extend when ready, and practise both directions to reinforce timing, plane control, and relaxed technique.
