Keep hitting my face reverse butterfly

I keep hitting myself in the face when I attempt to do a reverse butterfly does anyone know of a way I can protect my face because I want to get better but after a hit like that I feel a little light headed. Thank You

I actually do not know a way I went through the whole face hitting thing and it was not fun, at least not getting my face pounded by poi

adjust the planes by adjusting the hands and direction of spin

use fluffy poi to reduce light headedness

buy mask

Wear a hockey mask

or in my experience - pick up some juggling balls they can at least be nice and soft

In addition to watching your planes, watch your timing. Most of the time when I screw up butterflies it's because my timing is off but it doesn't feel like it.
