I'm still trying to get this right, but I found it helpful to practice the wrap with one poi at a time to get the angles and timing right. You can even use the free hand to practice the hand position. You not only get to try a simpler movement without the second poi, but also avoids them get entangled and having to disentangle on every attempt.
I’ve been trying to figure out this wrap for a long time and this really helped me understand what I was doing wrong with my technique. You’re an awesome teacher thank you so much 💘
THANK YOU DREX, just wanna say been following these videos for about 1-2 months and been searching for vids on this move specifically. Drex does it so smooth when going in and out of other moves in his other vids that I've been dying to learn it. just got it to complete smoothly for the first time. Got that practice flow giddy feeling right away, like a kid again. so, Thank you drex i didnt knwo how fun poi was gonna be till i watched your videos.
I find it easier to get into wraps from a tuck weave or just a regular old 3 or 2 beat in case any one else struggled to get into wraps from windmill as a beginner!!
I suppose there aren't a lot of glowstringing tricks that have become super popular in poi, but I for one use a *ton* of glowstring-origin tricks. I would love to see more people doing other kinds of body wraps, for example.
i learned the other spiral wraps where u actually wrap the rope around ur wrist first and then enter the spiral. that makes it all so much easier if ur having problem with getting the poi to spin around ur hand and not ur fingers.
what about 12 years ago Drex with hair highlights. He was rocking it ya'll, made me wish it was still in style and i could do it. my hair turning grey and i;m barely 30
Thx for the tip with the Turtle position, defenitly trying that one. One tip, that helped me, was to start the wraps with hands Above each other and far apart
Thanks for the tutorial. I had problems getting accomplishing this trick, so I moved on to other tricks instead. Main issue was with them getting away from me which you addressed perfectly. I'm also using Pod Poi which aren't ideal for spiral wraps, but i'm sure they'll work fine when I get these down.
I can confirm that pod poi won't slow you down once you got them. I do my wraps kind of awkward and differently, but can enter and exit them cleanly. I also use pod poi
That snap instead of pulling the tethers apart is beautiful. I've had spiral wraps down quite well for a couple months, however I seem to place my hands in a different way. The backs of my hands end up touching with my palms facing outwards, thumbs facing up. I keep the poi between my index and middle fingers. Its gonna be a pain to unlearn that haha
Thank you for these tips!! I’ve been trying to learn this one using my ultrapoi for a while now and it feels like the tethers on those poi are too thick/stiff for this one but it’s probably just me😅
I'm struggling with getting an extra wrap on one of the poi that the other doesn't seem to have. Like my right hand will finish and the left hand will still have one revolution to go until I snap. I'm not sure if I'm bringing them together at the wrong time, one is slipping off, or what?
Old comment, I know, but someone out there might benefit from reading. I was having the same issue, but I think I figured it out! It seems like I was putting my hands together too early while one of the leashes was somewhere between my hands, which made it start wrapping earlier than the other and come out of the wrap looking like together/same instead of split/same. I think the time to bring your hands together is just before one poi is straight up and the other is straight down. I tried slowing myself down *just* before bringing them together, and then once they're about to hit the straight up/down position, snapped back to full speed when bringing my hands together. Also, I was having a bit of trouble with the tether slipping off the ends of my fingers, and realized that spreading them out (like Drex does the entire video 😅) helps a lot to keep them where you want them, along with making sure they're both on an even plane. Hope this helps!
I need help, when i exit my wrap the poi always exit together, like same time not split time, and i think there might be something else than just the timing of the snap and i fear my poi are just inadequate for contact so if you know a reason for the bad exits please tell me. Update 5 mins after commenting i did for the first time thats karma
You are a great online poi teacher. But when i saw your tanktop i desided to stop watching you. I am here for poi teachings, not for your political message. Wish you the best. ✌
Advocating safety for black Americans should be a non-political basic human rights issue, the fact that conservative media has made it a political argument isn't on everyone else to avoid saying things that you inexplicably disagree with. Understand that your decision of trying to call attention to your self disagreeing reflects on yourself and not anyone else. I'd call it republican virtue signalling but its anything but virtuous, just divisive and very self-revealing.
@@DrexFactor 'if you think that.....' no i dont think that, so your argument doesnt make any sense. As i said, you are a great poi teacher and that is why i am here. Not for your politics. Also i typed my message with the respect i feel for you for what you brought to the poi world... but your smurky answer took a chunk out of that respect i had for you. Sad.
@@fghfyuj70 young one you are picking a fight over someones tee-shirt advocating human rights in youtube comments, Please if you wanna demonstrate that your "more respectful than thou" just let it go. If you wanna be the bigger person, start here. some chose to be the bigger person by lifting other people up.... others do it another way. Enjoy your day, ask yourself if this exchange gained you anything personally or spiritually.

Fun fact: the turtle position is actually the ASL sign for Sea Turtle. Well named.

Здравствуйте! У Вас очень красивый голос. И интересные занятия. Спасибо большое за видео.
Thx for the tip with the Turtle position, defenitly trying that one.
One tip, that helped me, was to start the wraps with hands Above each other and far apart
Is it normal for it to feel like such a workout pulling my hands apart to keep speed?
Thanks for the tip on doing it overhead btw! Massive help!
Amazing tutorial!!! Thanks for all you do. & I LOVE your tank top!
Thank you! 💜
Absolutely love this amazing updated tutorial on spiral wraps

You mentioned the exact problem I was having thank you drex. I'm going to go practice
Perfect! I aim to please ☺️
OMG how many essential info about spirals ^.^
Thanks a lot man.
Good luck and a fair wind to dreams... *)

Seriously...when I figured that out I felt like I’d discovered an old Alchemist’s recipe for turning lead into gold.
That slow Mo thousand yard stair seems like your challenging us to not be so bad at this LMFAO challenge accepted.
I hope now i will be able to get my wraps right!
I hope so, too! Let me know if the pieces connect for you 😀
U rock drex
Excellent work
Thank you!
Thank you for these tips!! I’ve been trying to learn this one using my ultrapoi for a while now and it feels like the tethers on those poi are too thick/stiff for this one but it’s probably just me😅
Do you do individual lessons?
Drex, are you spinning same direction but split time in the entry?
Пришёл на этот канал так как таких подробных разборов на русском TH-cam нет
Спасибо за ваши ролики!

If you think that supporting the Black community is politics rather than basic humanity then don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
