Check out the "Poi Moves" and there should be some help for that issue. If you search that forum and can't find a thread to give you some advice then feel free to make one, or post in a thread that seems kinda relevant.
There is no such thing as spinning too much...
Ever.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Learning through pain usually is a fair teacher
Try lighter poi..
Poi with tails..
Flags
Maybe even slow music..
A teacher chanting "slllooowwwww down"
When you said spin too much I figured there were people saying put down those poi and come back to us..

Put bricks in your sock poi, that'll teach you to be slow and careful
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind
Give a man a fish and he'll eat 4 a day hit a man with a brick and you can have all his fish and his wife

try doing the butterfly as slow as you can and as rythmically as you can, see if you can get a small bounce happening

Well, you can hyper-extend your arm, which REALLY hurts sometimes.
I'm gonna cut you up so bad, you gonna wish I ain't cut you up so bad.

I was hittin myself in the nuts all the time til I made myself learn a few leg wraps, now I can either stall the poi so it only taps or send it too far and wrap/catch it with my legs.

I've spun too much before. When I first used my poi my fingers semi blistered it was more of a red rash on the inside of my fingers. Last night i spun for about half an hour in the cold and now i have 4 chubby fingers. Or at least they feel chubby.

Is there such a thing as spinning to much???
My uncle Trevor used to work as a cleaner of those giant high-speed centrifuges used in the chemical industry- up to the sad day when one was accidently switched on while he was still inside.
If he'd survived the incident, I'm fairly sure that he would have been of the opinion that-
yes, there is such a thing as spinning too much.

No. Not possible.
But there is hitting yourself too much (concentrate on planes and get ribbon poi..may be girly but great for practicing)
And there is DEFINITELY such a thing as being on HoP too much

I came back from travelling to find that she had like 2000 posts more than me. Which, considering she wasn't even on the boards when i left, is alarming. So, obviously, I had to get back the title....
Or sumfing like that...
