A good drill for learning the points and keeping them clean for me was switching between forwards and reverse stance while playing with flowers.

[@ronineidolon]

I appreciate the time you put into editing the demos of mistakes. They totally remind me of the people having problems with simple tasks clips in old infomercials. The empath part of me gets the body language too. Love it. Also, on a more contemporary note... They make your videos less reliant on the verbal descriptions of what's going on and thus more understandable for folks who don't speak English comfortably (or at all.)

I literally just learned this move today and I think this is going to help me get it down so much smoother thanks!

[@neikotreat4208]

THANK YOU DREX AS ALWAYS SUPER MUCH APPRECIATED ❤

[@DrexFactor]

Any time!

[@nofox8616]

Thank you so much!!! I've been trying to figure this out on my own time I saw this :D

[@JoanMendoza]

[@mikepierce3801]

Thanks for the amazing instruction videos. Love the t-shirt!

[@DrexFactor]

Thank you on both counts!

[@Michael-Mepoke]

Drex! You made me realize I can reach higher on my petals, also redrilling the "points" is something im going to add to my practicelist! Also downloaded the 10 tips from your link in the description. Super pumped. Thanks for being awesome! Keep spinning!

[@DrexFactor]

Outstanding! Two great breakthroughs from one video. I'm pretty satisfied with that ☺

[@gaberialla]

This is a very good refresher for me. I learned anti spin flowers when I first started poi before 2019. I try to do it still but not sure if I was doing it properly because it has been so long since I learned them.

[@DrexFactor]

It was a good refresher for me, too! Helpful to aggregate all these tips together into a single video.

[@mattbreeding6441]
