can you describe them a little better maybe?
'4 balls freestanding' could mean a bunch of stuff:
double meteor
poi length double meteor (i use double ended nets for this and use them for throws mainly - they make for some crazy photos
)
weighted handle poi (i.e. 2 different sized balls at each end of each poi)
4 ball juggling
have fun

Saying you invented anything on a poi forum is dangerous ground If you mean what i think you mean, double weighted poi, balls in each end, it has been done many a time before
There are many cool contact moves you can do with weighted poi, have fun playing!

Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

Yeah, Beth i believe you are right, i think he does mean having one part of the poi as weight and another as a handle. I have not used this style, if this is what he is talking about, but i do see numerous videos. It looks pretty schnazzy.

i'd be well impresed with that!
if it's just balls in each end of the poi it's not original in itself but a good idea and lots of fun with lots of posserbilities to explore!

hold on.... let me catch my breath... laughing way too hard. ok ok, I'm good now. guess what, I invented the automobile. so basically what you're saying... is you think you invented having weighted handles on your poi? If you've never seen it before, I suggest you open you're eyes. maybe even try double nun-chuki if it appeals to you.

"is you think you invented having weighted handles on your poi? If you've never seen it before, I suggest you open you're eyes"
You what?
What utter tripe.
No really, thats shite.
He did invent it if he has never seen it elsewhere before.
He arrived at it without any external input, so he did invent it.
So what if someone else somewhere on the other side of the word invented it first?, he still invented it as he thought of it.
And simply opening his eyes doesnt mean he is going to see any more than he currently does.
If there is no one around doing that, and if he doent download videos, then even if his eyes were open and he had binoculars surgically attached to hsi eyes, it doesnt mean he will see people doing doing poi with weighted handles.

Maybe i'm a little thick, but is this thread really just about weighted handles? or is there something more to it ?
doc, that cryptic style of writing may be artsy but it doesn't really say much.

I still have no idea what this '4 ball form' is and Doc, you arent exactly giving us much to go on.
Answer these questions -
1. Do you have 1 ball at either end of each poi?
2. Is each ball exactly or similarly weighted?
3. Do you use more than 1 set of poi in this '4-ball form'? A set being 2 poi, one for each hand.
If yes to 1&2 then what you have there my friend are counter weighted poi or mini meteors. If yes to 3 then you have something different entirely but again, people spinning more than 1 set of poi has been done before but well done for thinking of it.
Please clarify.

so:
1. yes
2. yes
3. no

Ah but Mr Coleman, i thought that as well but then he posted this -
And this post really confused me.
Techinically Cole, your poi are mini meteors as they are identically weighted on each end (arent they?
) but this man says his arent so therefore my confusion continues.

'mini meteor' suggests you hold the string.
so 'not as meteors but as poi', means 'i don't hold the string in the middle (like meteors) but hold the ends (like poi)'
well technically beth, that's what i said in my first post
the only person i've ever seen using double mini meteor is ewan ('the man who made spitz') and you wouldn't want to do what he does with them if the ends were aerotechs
not sure where doc says they're not identically weighted...

All that '4-ball form' and '4 balls freestanding' and other silly phrases like that is probably the most long winded and confusing way of saying -
Poi with weighted handles.
*sigh*
Doc, in future, please be a little clearer in your posts!
