162 Shape Hybrid Matrix. A grid displaying hybrid shapes formed by combining poi spinning patterns. Rows are labeled with base shapes (blue) and columns with corresponding base shapes (red). Each filled cell shows the resulting hybrid. The top bar indicates timing ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:3, 1:2:4, 1:3:5). The upper-right diagram denotes 3rd Order Flowers in anti-antispin configuration. This shows all possible hybrid poi shapes created by combining different base shapes between your two hands across various timing ratios.
