These newer rainbows dont work as well
"Sorry but I have to be honest. The newer versions of the rainbows just don't last long at all. They are very touchy and apt to go out when you need them the most. My troupe has almost stopped using these entirely because they cannot be counted on during performances."

colours
"I just received my set of these flagpoi I ordered the green and lime one. The colours somewhat differ from those you see on the screen. The green is really neon and lime is actually just neon yellow still nice just different. I'm still getting used to flag poi myself but I find these a bit light I think I'll make them somewhat heavier. They make a great 'woosh' sound though and they look beautiful"

nice
"i can't decide whether to give 3 or 4 stars for this. i was expecting something a little bit heavier other flags i used before had a little sand pocket in the corner making them heavier and thus easier for me to spin. but these flags actually are very comfortable once i got used to the lightness. the sound they make is a little frightening but that's a problem with all flags :) other than the lightness i think these are very nice."

I prefer Zuni poi
"I bought these as a replacement for my old Infinity Toys Zuni poi. The weight is far too light you'll need to take out the balls and weight them if you want something heavier. The flags are nice and the fact that they detach is great but they just have a light feel to them that I can't get over."

Good for new spinners
"These are great for people new to fire but they have a shorter burn time than Cathedral wicks or Monkey Fist. Made very well and no worries about them coming apart and were good for more spins than expected."

The colors are very cool!
"I have to say that I am very pleased with how bright these are I took them up to my cabin in the mountains and was amazed at the colors. A bit disappointed that they change colors at different speeds. Also a little tough to get on the chains needs an extra link or something. All in all a lot of fun in the dark when you are still learning how to twirl!!!"

meteor is fun but dangerous!!
"these meteor are great fun to spin but they are very heavy compared to fire poi so don't bother unless you're prepared to get bruised! having a good knowledge of poi and at least a basic knowledge of staff is very helpful as the meteor combines elements of both but is much harder than either. These meteor are a good weight and size but the centre of the monkeyfists are cubes of wood and i wonder whether they should be rope all the way through. Having said that this makes no difference to how they look."

Not bad - a bit light..
"Flags are nice - big and colourful - But I couldn't help but feel weighting the ends a bit would have been a good idea. But hey this is my first try at flags maybe they're all like that. Still maybe something to look at? The parts are otherwise all great quality- Same parts as fire poi by the looks of things so that's awesome. Overall I'm happy with them but I'll need to weight them since I'm used to spinning fire."

What a bargain!
"These are perfect to learn how to use poi on a budget and the best thing is that you can stuff them with light up toys and glow sticks for a really cool effect. A little hard to control though because they stretch out when you spin them. I thought it was cool that the tennis balls that they come with matched the colour of the socks."

not quite satisfied
"although happy with the little blacklight i was initially dissapointed by the amount of light thrown out of them. i only purchased them after reading a rave review from one of your many satisfied customers. ive also found i have to be careful when transporting them as if their switch knocks on something they tend to turn on. i have to admit now im used to them i do appreciate them considering their size."

Very expensive toll and shipping
"I ordered a fire staff and the first shock came when I saw the enormous shipping costs (for shipping into Germany) which were nearly as high as the price of the staff. The second shock came when the parcel finally arrived two weeks later: additional toll and import tax (about 70 of the shipping costs) which I didn't know about before. Never again will I order something here again. Sorry I don't want to bash your shop (which is really fine!) but the extra costs are just to high for me. The quality of the staff is excellent though. Home of Poi: We are very sorry that this customer did not understand our order confirmation page. Customer was informed of courier shipping costs and that tax/duty would be payable and they agreed to pay these and confirmed order. Link to Germany's import rules were also provided. Quoted shipping cost was more expensive than normal because of the extra long length of the parcel (being a fire staff) .]"

Novelty Black Light
"Useful for charging glow toys but for any real UV toy use the batteries need to be new and the light needs to be close to the toy so not very practical. Way round this would be to use rechargeable batteries and a solar recharger."

Looking good but dangerously heavy
"These are very cool but difficuly to spin with for a meteor-newbie.. The monkeyfists have crushing abilities and should not be played with recklessly. These can break bones I'm sure.. But when you get the hang of it I guess they're fine!"
