Greetings Elnihd, welcome to Occult Forums!
Yes, I've been practicing telekinesis myself these days. Here's what I think, based on my experiences on the phenomenon:
There are many different energy constructs apart from psi-balls, it's just that psi-balls are very popular because they are easy to build and also have a wide variety of uses. What you experience is certainly an energy construct although I think that it is not a psi-ball. When moving the psi-weel continously, what usually happens is that your aura extends from your hand, covering the psi-weel,then swirls around as you described, moving the psi-weel with it. Think of it as an extension of your hand, a temporary streched version of it.
Solid psi-balls can also be used, I do it quite often. However, throwing a solid psi-ball on objects tends to give limited control of them(because the psi-ball is disconnected from you) so is best used for simple telekinetic tasks such as pushing/hitting(to instanteously push an object hard, not to control it and swirl it around for a longer period of time).
As for finding ways to extend energy further away from the hands, I think it works in 2 ways basically. One is projectiles, meaning energy constructs you form, detach from yourself and then throw(psi-balls). You can project energy in unlimited distance this way but it's purpose must be precise and it will work independant of you(you throw it and let it work). However, for prolonged control, I find it easier to project extentions of my aura/subtle body as they also seem to reach unlimited physical distance while still having control over them. In this method, what you do is manipulate your subtle body and change it's shape, streching out a part of you that is still connected to you in order to do something, then take it back inside you when the job is done.
I hope my experiences and thoughts on the phenomenon are helpful to you,
Kain
Now I've got a better idea how to approach these things.
