Zero points and cool patterns

Work on “zero points” by timing each poi swing to stop and reverse cleanly at the horizon, creating a crisp moment of extension and control. The focus is on consistency, relaxation, and accurately finding the same endpoint on every swing so the reversal feels deliberate rather than forced.

From these controlled stops, start exploring simple pattern options and pathways: sending an arm over the top, returning, adding pedals, and mixing in one-poi variations while the other continues swinging. Nick Woolsey frames zero points as a practical base for later plane and mode changes and for linking into flowers, extensions, and other transitions.
