Poi definitions

Poi tricks are defined by the manipulation and combination of several variables of the spinning activity. These variables typically include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The direction of the poi spinning
• The timing of the poi spin
• The position of the hands
• The spinner's bodily orientation
• The poi's center of gravity
• The poi's respective plane(s)
• The poi and/or hands in relation to the Unit Circle and Axes

Often tricks require manual dexterity, coordination, and fine timing to accomplish. More skilled spinners may be able to combine or link these mechanics into more complex tricks.
