Q&A: More tips on poitruvian and turning

Nick Woolsey troubleshoots turning inside Poitruvian by emphasising timing and patience. The core drill is to delay the turn until the poi reach the outside ‘switch’ point, then commit to the rotation rather than forcing it mid-pattern.

You’ll practise tracking one poi as your reference, letting it drop and rise while you turn, then re-entering Poitruvian cleanly. The lesson reinforces breaking the sequence into repeatable beats, using consistent orientation and a clear follow-focus to reduce confusion during direction changes.
