Defined ~ High Turn

Define ~ High Turn

I'd like to hear some definitions for this term, then we'll refine the definition and finally once poiple are agreed we'll add it to the Poidia.

High turns are a way to turn your body while spinning. You turn when the poi reach the top of a reverse spin and let them swing out behind you. They'll come down spinning forward.

High turns are like reversed low turns.

Ah yes indeed Raven, however I often do a high turn while spinning forwards, so to limit a high turn as entering reverse and exiting forwards seems misleading as you can do it the other way...but I'm prolly getting too descriptive. Just more rants I spose Sphism/gigglesmiley

turning out of a shoulder reel/chasing the sun to end up with poi spinning opposite direction than when u started. Sphism/gigglesmiley

right on elph :5

when you turn while the poi are at the top arc of their swing...

I've never heard of the rest of this..

I think most or all of what you see here actually fits into your definition. But yours looks like the broadest.

I'm going to ask this purely for the sake of discussion:
Could this apply to ceiling plane moves? If you moved the center of the circle up and then turned under it, for example.

It's not the same thing, but it's something to think about.

Something to think about yes. Hm...... I dunno.

I thought high turn and low turn just applied to a moti0n that you use with a reel.. ie.. when each poi are on the side of the body that that arm is on.. right arm and right poi on the same side for instance.. and both poi are spinning same time..

thus you get either a high turn or a low turn...

you can't get that in the ceiling plane because you can't spin a same time ceiling and floor plane circle and turn.. and even if you did.. high and lwo become irrelevent.. so much as left and right.. unless you do a ceiling and floor plane circles while leaning over intead of doing them standing up.. in which case you are leaning over and should understand high and low turn as you would when your upright...

Yeah... if you stop halfway (90 degrees) through a high/low turn you end up in a high/low reel.

These are both carries, which we probably need a definition for as well.

So what we have here is something like this:

High turn - Any turn done while the poi are at the top of their swing. For example, if you swing two poi backwards at your sides and turn while letting them swing out behind you to come down spinning forwards when you stop turning. Only applies to vertical circles.

Sounds good except for the example, thats a bit confusing... so I'd say just put in : Any turn done while the poi are at the top of their swing. Only applies to vertical circles

But the example is again, I think quite confusing as I dont even get what your saying in theres Sphism/gigglesmiley But whatever Sphism/smilesmileySphism/smilesmiley

Yeah, I suppose it is kinda confusing... :oops:
That's what I get for writing things late at night.

So then:

Any turn done while the poi are at the top of their swing. Only applies to vertical circles.

Hehe no worries man. Welp, sounds good to me. Hopefully we've settled on this... if so, lets :47

High turn

A 180 degree turn where you turn as the poi are in the top arc of their swing.

I'm pretty sure we never said high turns had to be 180 degrees. I've done 90 degree versions, myself.

That seems to leave us with:
Any turn done while the poi are in the top arc of their swing.

Even better Sphism/smilesmiley

Cool! We'll go with that then Sphism/smilesmiley
