World of Poi

Oh my god!!! These are brilliant!!! I finally decided i should get some cone poi with swivals because im fed up of them getting twisted whenever i spin…..and boy am i glad i did!! They look like normal cone poi except they have finger loops at the end. This allows greater control and means they dont get twisted, finally, air wraps and orbitals and stuff are a reality!! They’re a bit more expensive than normal poi but trust me its worth that extra few quid. I got mine in bright orange and they look fantastic, the supplied tennis are actually the perfect weight for once and because of the material they’re made of they dont stretch and lose their shape. Basically, they’re wonderful and i can’t explain how much i recomend them. Seriously, every spinner needs a pair of these!! Get on Home of Poi now and order a pair, trust me, its worth it!!

Flowlights have released a new colour for their famous LED Glow Poi. Flowlights now come in 5 amazing colours including the new ‘fire’ (my personal favourite). They can be bought as poi or, alternatively, you can buy just the lights and use them as handles to create dazzling effects!! At the moment Home of Poi has them cheap so if your interested I would get in there quick!!

Many people have different opinions on what weight the perfect set of Poi would and I think it depends on personal preference. Heavy can spin much slower and give greater control; there own momentum keeps them spinning but they can be difficult when doing more complicated moves. Light poi spin a lot faster give a greater range of options in terms of tricks that are available. However they require a lot more energy to keep them spinning.

One of the easiest ways to adjust the weight of your poi is to fill a balloon with rice and use that instead of tennis ball or glow product. If you find weight is not quite right or you just fancy a change, you can!! This method is easiest with sock/cone poi. I read somewhere that the optimum weight for beginners is 120g, I’m not sure whether I agree with this, I think that you should experiment yourself.

All different types of poi have different strengths and weaknesses. Sock poi allow you to do wraps but because of their stretch some other moves can be more difficult. Poi with tails look good but get tangled easily. Ball chain poi don’t tangle but are relatively heavy. The list is endless, and for this reason, I suggest that you make sure you own several different pairs of poi.

Doing this allows you to learn moves with one set of poi and then perfect it with another. Meaning that new tricks are much easier to learn. It can also make things a lot more interesting, suddenly you have multiple poi to play with and depending on what you buy, some parts may be interchangeable. Having different types of poi will give you more options and make your learning experience so much easier and more exciting. All at very little cost, because, lets face it, poi are a relatively inexpensive hobby!!
