I Was Wrong About Poi Antibend Toroids!

Antibend toroids are among the most controversial poi tricks out there! Can we really say that they're the counterpart to antispin flowers and what makes a bend an antibend? A younger me certainly didn't think so, but I'm older and wiser now! We're going to get deep into some advanced poi spinning theory here as I break down this pretty geeky corner of the tech poi world. Short answer: antibend toroids are indeed a thing, but we need to learn a few things both about how poi function in a 3d environment as well as how they can be compared to a staff in order to understand why.
