okay, here's the deal. I've tried making some comet/streamer poi, like the ones available in the shop, but every time I have the same problem. Basically, I find that the inertia of the tails causes them not to follow the poi but be "thrown" outwards.
The ones I've made aren't exactly like the ones available in the shop...the tails are thinner, more like the streamers the rhythmic gymnasts use. The material is a *very* light canvas...not the usual material, I know, so that might be a factor too. But basically I wanted to know which it most likely is before I went and bought materials I might or might not need.
Any ideas?
