As requested by FknTrev13, here's a tutorial for the butterfly weave. It covers the 2, 3 and 4 beats...ENJOY!

Haha, I was just thinking about making a tutorial for this once i get my camera.. and two seconds later, I log in and see this

Oh by the way, i noticed you do it different than i, you turn on each side when you do it. I don't do that (but i obviously can), as i think if you do it really fast right in front of you, by just moving one hand over another and so on, it creates a cooler pattern, like a weird flower or something

By the way, this tutorial is really good, probably better than something i could've come up with lol.. its really going to help people. When I learned this move, i didn't have a tutorial to help, but i could "feel" (i know it sounds stupid LOL) the movement i had to do, and just did it until it flowed and looked nice

Right on...sounds neat. I'd love to see a vid once you get your camera!

ive been playin w/ butterfly weave today and this so helps.. good timing sir.. u rock me!!

Yep, i'm definately going to make a video once i get my camera (pretty soon i hope). Maybe this weekend, or next weekend. Tomorrow i have a day off and i'll be practicing some more

And on another topic :

Ive been trying to get a lot of butterfly tricks down, as i think it looks amazing. Like rotating while doing butterfly, going from one side to another while your arms are crossed and doing butterfly, butterfly full body crosser, over the head (i hate how the sticks hit eachother ALL the time doing that), btb, weave, etc. I can do most pretty well (except oth, which is kinda sloppy) but i think i need to practice a bit more putting them all together so it flow better

Since ive wrote a bunch of stuff about the tricks I can do, can you suggest a few tricks i should work on? Note that im spinning with flowpoi duo, so wrap combos aren't exactly that cool with those.

I can do most common tricks like: full body crossers(tho i still need practice with reverse), normal crossers, weaves (switching sides, btb, turning around, pretty much anything), windmills, wraps, wallplane weaves (tho i still need to learn it on the left side), buzzsaws (looks pretty bad since i havent practiced them for a while), flowers (decent looking), stalls (double look pretty good by now), and a lot of butterfly-related tricks.

Sorry for pretty much stealing the thread , if you want i'll pm you.

nice thread, i ended up going to to room to get my flowpoi to try some out and i cant seem to find them... where did they goo.... do do dooooo. let the hunt begin.

great post lilraverboi those poi are freaking massive man they look like they weight a ton. u seen the omega gorrila fists on home of poi. sutible for destorying small buildings

ah, freakin' awesome... i'm getting to work on this right away... thanks a lot for the tutorial!

When doing the 2 beat you did right hand on top going one way and left and on top going another way, would the reverse 2 beat be just the opposite of those two?

Well, for 2 beat butterfly weaves you can execute 'em with either hand on top on either side...just remember to keep whatever hand is on top when you cross to be on top on the other side. Also, since it is reverse on one side and forward on the other...it'd be hard to call them 'reverse' or 'forward' they are all just 2 beat butterfly weaves, but there are 2 directions. Hope that clarifies a bit.
