You just need to practice a lot. It's like playing the piano. You can't separate the signals in one day. You'll see. Just start small and slowly you'll develop the skill.

Actually it feels a lot more like playing the drums. You have to separate what both arms/hands are doing while still controlling the subtle feeling in your fingertips like a drummer does when bouncing the drum sticks.

I've been reviewing your poi basics - they're great! Having mostly taught myself (rural Aus) I'm finding them really helpful in smoothing out the awkward spots in my spinning.

Thanks for new insights :) I wish, I'd be able to come to Costa Rica, yet I have to work :'-( (luckily I do have work, so I get some money, without work it would be impossible to go to Costa Rica, too, so there's the viscious circle... o.o *gg*)
