fishtail to halo is pretty easy use your thumb to pull the staff up (create a notch between hand and wrist) and just guide it to your shoulder as with all contact moves it's continous out to the left hand fishtail Wink

i have a shiny bounce staff, at last!

i can spin it and catch it thats about it. i want to get good with this one before i get a firestaff. and its so hard. spin whilst standing still i have to a T. but try to move or do anything i either drop it or hit myself round the back of the head. so having one i set fire too might not be the best idea yet

learn figure 8's forwards and backwards with both hands and behind the back passes solid, once that's done practice slowly turning around keeping a figure 8, when you have spun 180 degrees a forwards fig 8 turns into a backwards just like poi. Wink

stick at it dude, it's so much fun. then pick up a second and it's just like poi again Laughing

had a staff for a while but nothing fantastic, got put off contact cause my staff has a sticky silicon grip and it ripped a load of hair out of my neck :( but i love it and its a beautiful artform

ahhh the dreaded hair ripping, I use innertube which can do similar so I cut all my hair off Laughing

But yeah i practised more and now i can do some of the passing being the back .. its hard tho, to make your hands turn the way you want them to go.. still small progress it better then no. Very Happy
