hey i'd like to know : 1)waht the diff between the pair of beginner poi in the shop and the pair of awesome Buzz poi

2) can the chain be removed from the poi? ( if so can it be replaced with fire poi heads )

3) if so?; is it safe?

4)for fire poi, what is better: ball chain or the one that looks like a cable, whats the diff?

The point of this is: i'de basicly like to get a set of poi, but later on swtich to fire, and i wouldnt want to have to buy another set of chains + i'm looking for sometthing as light as possible ( comparable to a set of glowstix on strings)



if anyone could help i would be very greatful once again to the wonderful community we have ubblove

ohh: one last thing: i am experienced with glowstringing and quite good but is there a big diff between glow and poi? ( cus it says sometimes: for experience users only and i was wondering if i should take that into consideration.)

diffrence between glow and poi? poi are a lot hevier, cant be whinged out of plane so easily because of the momentum.

Diffrence between ballchain and cable? Cable is horrid! specially for wraps, dont do it!

There's quite a few topic on the pros and cons of ball chain, chain and cable. So best to do a search.

The handle & chain for fire poi have a link so can be removed from the poi heads easily enough.

Beginner poi/buzz poi - not much difference really, apart form look and buzz poi have bean bag heads, not tennis balls, and I think bean bags make better weights.

See as the buzz poi string is, well, string you wouldn't want to use it for fire poi heads!

I don't think you can take the string off the heads easily. However email the shop and they'll tell you for sure (I don't own any to have a look at).

If they don't have an easy clasp I'm sure you could easily add one if you wanted to be able to switch between poi heads and glowsticks.
