Summary
Thread the needle, the essentical technique to do the butterfly based combinations.
It's very difficult at the beginning, but once you've acquired movement, it's much easier than actually threading the needle.
How to
Let's take a look at the movemnt of each hand.
When the poi come at the top and passes the 12 o'clock position, the opposite hand goes to the front and pull it back when the the poi passes the 12 o'clock position.
Practice this with each hand and memorize the timing of it.
This time, do the Butterfly with the both hands.
Notice the hand on the upper side.
Bring the hand to the front when te poi passes the 12 o'clock position and bring the other hand after passing the 12'oclock position.
Repeat these movements.
Tips
An example of common mistake.
The poi gets tangled if you spin the poi too fast.
The timing to switch the hands aren't so fast as you might think, so no need to rush and take your time to do these movements.
Another way to understand doing the Thread the Needle.
Do the arm exersice and change arm positions in turn so the movements becomes the same as the Thread the Needle movemnent.
Circle the arms smaller and smaller and it becomes the Thread the Needle if you do it with the poi.
Refer this to practice.
