Count the beats. Sometimes a 3bw can feel like a 5bw, but really you're just spinning it faster.

To count the beats, imagine a drum by the side of your leg. Each time a poi hits that drum, thats one beat on that side.
Do it with the 3beat and establish that your 3 beat is 3 beats. Then try with your 5 beat and see if it's actually a 5 beat or just a crazy 3 beat.

Or video it, upload it to photobucket or youtube and let us look at it and we will tell you.

Spin slowly if your going to do this, and flim side on. Makes it easier to count
