as i'm concerned any weight on a string is a poi, whether that weight be fire wick, glostick or anything else. The string can be chain, shoelace or sock ~ The physics is the same with a couple different initial conditions.

Dave,
so would you say 'aeronetstringing' would be a type/style of poi community (say C, D, or a combination)?
Jo.
ps. we'll use NYC's expanded definitions of catagories.
Written by: NYC
Can we redefine the categories to perhaps compromise?
uber-a) a category like 'object manipulation with body movement' [firepoi, staff, contact juggling, juggling, glowsticking, plates.]
a) a catagory like 'spinning objects' [Staff, clubs, sock poi, glowsticks.]
b) a catagory like 'spinning objects on strings (or chains or socks)' [Firepoi, sock poi, glowsticks, the basic weight attached by a flexible lead.]
c) a catagory like 'firepoi' [Double wicked, single wicked, towel wicks, light it and it goes WOOSH. Maori, UK, Burningman.]
d) a catagory like '"London" poi' [Influenced by emphais on specific move sets, motions, and philosophies.]

Haha,
skimmed thru this but as far as i'm concerned any weight on a string is a poi, whether that weight be fire wick, glostick or anything else. The string can be chain, shoelace or sock ~ The physics is the same with a couple different initial conditions.

coleman: and any others that claims all moves transfer to all tools, here's one that you can try - string wrap. record a short video clip of you doing this move with whatever you wish, socks/fire/electroglo/aerotech or whatever you use.
i described how to do this on the previous page but i'll post here again, all description of tools will be glowsticks and strings, please replace with correlated tool of your preference:
- pinch one of the glowstick in your armpit or behind your knee and hold it there.
- wrap the other glowstick onto the string that is pinched, so that it spins around.
- pull so it spins back out.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Glowsticking (freehand and glowstringing) has a specific culture behind the dance, has a set of philosophy and etiquette with it. and other than discussion of techniques and style on Glowsticking.com... spreading the importance of this culture, philosophy, etiquette is just as valued (if not more).
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

[[And wes, that move sounds easy, can't you do it with socks? I'm clearly not understanding it. Hrmm... how are you holding the string so that it's not against your arm if it's in your armpit?]

In my opinion this all comes under the blanket term of Object Manipulation.
Since there's a phenominal amount of crossover between the different props/tools/toys, I don't think any of them can lay claim to being on a higher evolutionary plateau.
In fact, I don't think that any of them can claim to be children of a set of toys, since people are discovering new things with all of them, which then get passed between them all.
I think that close siblings is as large a gap as you can justify.
As far as I'm concerned, if I'm playing with glowsticks on string then I may well be glowstringing or I may be spinning poi. To be frank, I just don't care what label people put on it.
