-2 sets of DIY sock poi (one with counterweights, on without)
-1 set of flowtoy-poi
-just finishing up a DIY set of 3 juggling balls

Also I'm drooling over all the fire poi sets in the shop section, plus a contact ball and staff would be nice. I'm greedy beyond my limits, I know..

I can't vouch for whatever kind the above poster has, but I love innertube poi. They're cheap, flow well at almost any weight, and are extremely customizable. They're my favorite play poi for sure (if unforgiving as practice poi).

Currently, just a pair of home-made sock poi and a pair of LED poi (no idea what brand).

I also do some fun juggling/manipulation with a tray (like one from a fast food joint).

Emails are better - the more effort it takes the more effect it has, because it indicates more interest.

Carrier pigeons would be better yet, oh yes.

I'm not very good with poi at all but they do have nice weight to them and isolations are rather easy with them even as noobie poi spinner

What type of poi are you using? Do you know what the weight is?

they're innertube poi, but most of the time i use my sock poi because the innertube hurt when you hit yerself with them, and i have not idea how heavy they are.

but by gueass would be around 100 grams perhaps a bit more or less

I'm getting a ropedart I've decided grin And after that I want either a contact staff of meteor. I'm leaning towards contact staff because I want to have experience in both single staff and poi before meteor so it's easier.
