1 poi, 1 staff, anyone for tennis?

Hey all...again

Owww, second post. I was wondering if anybody out there has any tricks that
they do with poi in one hand and staff in the other. As of late, since my
boyfriend and I made new staffs which are nice and light. I have decided to
take up using poi in the left hand and staff in the right hand. I haven't
tried it on fire yet, because only two weeks ago I coped a nice blow to the
side of the face and then later that night to my nose, which *really* hurt.

I can do some tricks, I am not that fluent with the staff alone, to which I
am predominately a righty. However I find it much better when I have a poi
in my left hand. It makes me trace out and I become a lot more fluid since
I tend to do a lot of poi moves which I thought wasn't possible to do with
a staff. At present the thing I would *really* like to do, is after having
a poi twirl, is put down one poi, then with my toes, flick up the staff
catch it and begin to twirl with one poi and the staff. This is pretty damn
hard to do, but I am getting it.

However, I feel slightly limited with the moves you can do with one poi and
one staff. I can't work out how to go circular yet, as I tend to get my
staff wrapped in an awkward position around my back I can't get out off. I
really need to practice some more staff moves.

What I was going to ask, if anyone out there is learning this? My boyfriend
(who incidentally is on HOP too ) has suggested that maybe a club is the
way to go, so you have just a bit more control then with poi. Since with
club you can drop it into you hand and control it more, since with poi you
are solely relying on the momentum to keep you going, which occasionally
makes you get a little stuck and in a bit of a pickle

Thanks,

whoa...
That sounds entirely possible, but I think that it would be a lot more dangerous to do with fire.

Poi and staff are two different things, I donno if I'd have to guts to try and combine them.

Hmm, club is probably the better way to go, as you said, u rely on the momentum of the poi, and i dunno about u, but trying to co-ordinate momentum and circluar motion in one hand while the other is spinning a staff would have me stumped!

Id be very interested in seeing how its done

Maybe u should come to Byron with us next weekend with me, Flashfire and finn and Josh will be there! Could give us a taste@!

hehehe, derrrr (frenzie slaps forehead)

see u there!
