I found shoulder reels easier than hip, but that might just be me.

Can you windmill? If you can windmill you can shoulder reel and vice versa - if you can just break up your windmill to your shoulder - thats split shoulder reels, then make them go in parallel time and bingo bango - shoulder reels.

All i can suggest is to look at each hand on the video, work out what it is doing, put that poi down, work on the other hand, then try and put them together.

its funny how whats hard for someone can be so easy for someone else. I flowed so easily into the weave that i had the 3 beat fwd and backward down in the space of an hour. learnt 5 beat forward weave the next day. Yet i struggled with butterfly and angel wings.
Yer im trying to do that whole class of moves basically anything over the head got angel wings today, but yer shoulder reels are tiresome, interestingly enough i think its my right arm thats letting me down. but i guess ill just have to try that arm by itself for a bit.

cheers
