Good, but not what I asked for
"I purchased the gold/yellow set above with black flowers on the end. What I was sent is not the same product. It is neon yellow with neon yellow flower ends. The sticks are also quite short compared to what I've had before, by 6 inches easily. Decent, but won't order again. The HOP green set was a nice length and size, but the plastic caps cracked quickly. Will take apart and combine the two to make something I like"

Hi there. I really love
"Hi there. I really love the Diablo but the rubber came off the sticks after about 10 days which was a bit disappointing. I have had to put medical tape on the ends so my hands don't slip. I have had hours of fun with it though! Didn't realise I would wear the sticks out so quickly!"

not bad
"These poi arent bad, definitely on the cheaper side of quality. You can throw em around and play with them just fine, i do like to play with the rope and on these sets i noticed after several minutes my hands will start to burn which is a bit unpleasant. The weight is on the lighter side of things aswell. Id reccomended having these as an extra set perhaps, main set however i advice investing in higher quality"

Discoloration
"i order the single poi pop because I lost one of mine at the previous EDC. The one they sent me has a lighter tent than the one i previously had. So the colors are constantly slightly off. But they work all the same."

Mixed feelings
"The chain measurement does not include the poi or the handle in the length, which made my poi a little too long. Also, if a man, I would recommend a cup.. these hurt to get hit with. Also the double leather loops are not the best, a description of the different types of handles would have been nice. Other than that, the poi are great though!"

Love these! But the video said swivels are sent on every set.
"I absolutely love these poi. My first contact set ever. Only thing is I thought I was getting a set with swivels in the ball handle as shown in the video. It forced me to learn tangles which feel way better. Also these poi feel SOLID while spinning. If you maintain momentum they feel like clubs. Tosses feel good."

Fine
"The first time I used them I put a rip already on the side... It was so stretchy and I guess I put to much force into it. The tear isn't so bad but I can imagine it becoming a problem in the near future as I use it more and more."

Reply from Home of Poi: "Sorry for any confusion Matthew, the slit down the side of the sock poi will be the same on both of the sock poi just beneath the Home of Poi tag. This is so that you can take out the current poi weight and place your own in, some use water balloons full of sand so that they can get the correct weight and firmness for them or some even put LED products in them to make a whole new amazing LED product."

Too light for me
"These were too light for me, but I still hand them to friends when they want to try out spinning for the first time. Nobody wants to start off by whacking themselves with hard plastic balls. What I was really hoping for was something soft to practice tangles with, but these are so light that getting an orbital going is tough, even with swivels on the handles. Still cool looking, though!"

Great value mediocre overall.
"First off i rated this product a 3 not because its terrible but because 3 is the neutral number 1-5... And thats just what these are mediocre and great quality for such a low price point. Secondly preference are LED or fire poi but for times where its daylight and you want to spin these can be extremely fun and entertaining to watch and perform. The heads of them are bean bags making them quite light (bad when windy outside). Instead of a single loop the grips are the dual finger set-up.. Which I find yield benefit to both your dexterity whilst spinning and enhanced spin control. These aren't so great for inside use as the tails produce a lot of noise (like swishy pants or nylon fabric against nylon fabric. Also a side note HoP is an absolutely great entity. Those who have actually ordered something from here would tell you the same."

Unexpected spring
"They have a good flow and I like being able to change the weights. I was not expecting them to stretch as much as they do but it's something fun to mess around with I guess. It is now my go-to set when someone wants to try out poi."

Perfect Covers for Outdoor Practice
"These covers have been really wonderful to use when practicing poi outside. I no longer need to worry about cold hands losing grip on poi and getting them covered in mud and who knows what else. They're easy to clean off and add a great weight just enough to show how it'll be spinning when lit. The poi covers were hard to get used to putting on and taking off at first as you want to make sure they're secure but once you get use to that there are no issues."
