Good...but watch the stitching
"I purchased two sets of sock poi - the green and the rainbow striped. The green set had stitching that was coming undone. The rainbow set did not. Don't know if it was the luck of the draw on color or what and it's a simple fix, however, that was my only gripe. I purchased a set of 2-panel sand poi weights, separately, as it actually gives you a slightly better deal that buying the set. The socks can easily interchange with weights of your choosing - sand poi weights, tennis balls, etc. That part I really like. The material seems pretty durable. Depending on the weight of the poi inserts, the poi sock will stretch a bit. It's simple to wind up the length a bit. I found that I can create an easy finger loop just by creating a slipknot."

A Bit Heavy...for my taste
"I purchased a set of these out to test out what makes a good set of practice poi. Personally, I've worked with several types of poi: led, flag, streamer, fire, etc. and various materials (tennis ball, rice sewn into a bag, etc) and these are not what I would call 'beginner friendly'. If they hit you in the face or 'tenders' they will hurt! These are heavier than a tennis ball and if you are looking for something to make learning orbitals easier, the sand poi weights do well. If, however, you're looking for something forgiving, I think there are better options out there. I wish HoP made a softer silicone ball weight for the beginner. (Are you listening out there, Hop?) Otherwise - well made and works well with the sock poi!"

Love These!
"I've been spinning poi since 2004 and have tried everything from homemade sock poi, fire poi, flag poi, streamer poi, led poi, and I love these as my new practice poi. A note to beginners - these are pretty forgiving, however, they still hurt if toss one into your face or 'tenders'. My opinion is that tennis ball poi work better for brand new beginners. For those who have the basic moves, straight planes, and good muscle memory, these are a great weight, length (come in three sizes) and durability. Great for picking up new moves!"

Sweet!
"This staff met all my requirements: Perfect length (especially for my height - 5'5) Light weight (I can spin faster with this than any other staff yet!) Heat resistant which is what I wanted for contact moves Good sized lasting flame Clean construction easy to put together and break down Nice smooth grip flesh with the metal. It doesn't affect the balance of the staff or get in the way. Red! I like the color too... looks much cleaner even after doing a burn. Very professional sturdy construction that I can tell will last a long time. (Plus you carry replacement parts if I need a new core). Shipping was incredibly fast! Customer service was awesome too! Everything is great... I love spinning my new staff! I think the other staff spinners are even a smidge jealous. He he... Thank you Home of Poi - You rock!"
