Globalz poi- not impressed!!

Hi all,
Hoping that this hasnt been covered in other threads (did a search!) .Just bought myself a pair of Globalz poi- and they are pretty diappointing to say the least!! The finger loops broke after my second go and after using them for only 3 days the screw cap on the batteries is broken- and i havent even given them a good bashing! My pal bought a pair the same day and her finger loops came undone the first day also. Thinking of getting a refund and sticking with my flag poi for the mo, or maybe i should just let the shop give me a new pair and save them for night time.... or is this missing the point....?anyone out there own these poi and had probs?

Globalz = Globall.com = Aerotech?

Or someone else?

Don't think so - given Aerotech balls don't come with handles, or screw-in battery caps...

Possibly Rainbow Strobe poi (the wierd ones that look like a tangle of rings and smell of strawberries), or maybe the new Alternator Poi?

"en Aerotech balls don't come with handles, or screw-in battery caps..."
The poi do though..

well..maybe not screw in battery caps..

You know what I mean..

No they don't - the glometeors just come with a loop so you can attach your own handle...
And none of them have batteries.

Bitch

"And none of them have batteries."
Well how do they work then dipstick?

and I aint your bitch!

This weekend you are

Aaaaaaaaanywa...
What are these poi?

"This weekend you are"
I will have to ask permission first....

and I thought when you said "none of them" you were reffering to them as the entire Aerotech range.

Are you saying that the Aerotech poi (meteors if the poi dont exist) dont have batteries?
Are they powered by how fast you spin them? Have they got that sort of technology?

Smoke and mirrors my friend

google is good for easy durbs.

the bag looks nice at least...?


cole. x

I bought some (they're made by poipoi i think)
They broke within days!

Those look a little dodgy from the photo..

I have some that are still working after a fair bit of abuse but they aren't very bright and aren't really worth the money.

poipoi handles are crap. replaced them with cobra handles straight away

ordered the white ones but they were out of stock. apparently they don't make whites anymore so ended up with red/blue/green strobe and £5 knocked off. one of the red leds is a bit finnicky now tho so sometimes end up with blue/green/off strobe. usually only carry them round anymore for keeping spare bits in the case hehe.

I can't work out why they still make their handles like that....its just plain silly!!

The metal just slices through them in seconds!

They must have had so many returns...and they still keep making them!

Hiya... try the rainbow sock poi through the home of poi shop right here :-) They are the same balls but new design from HOP's own supplier has ensured that they are top quality... buy with confidence !

these "glowballz" are simply rainbow-in-motion funsacks that someone made crap handles for... just make glow hacky poi instead

Poipoi products are crap, end of story

they are crap but at Run to the Sun this weekend they were selling everything for £5 so i got somepretty flags, put new fingerloops on them....lovely!!

I've got some of those globalz too. I had to take one lot back to the shop as one didn't even turn on. The ones I've got now are ok but very fiddly, and the handles have nearly frayed away to nothing, although the strings on them are sound. They are a nice weight but the handles are definately no good. I wouldn't write them off compleatly, but they're definately not that great. You can get a hell of a lot better, for not much more money. I never use these ones now, and I won't be buying anything else made by poipoi.
