The gyro force it produces could create interesting spinning results.....it looks like it would be painful if you hit yourself.

Looks kinda wierd. Looks like its pretty solid too, how would you fix it on a string? Also, it says it vibrates (or did i read that wrong?) which could be wierd for swinging.

A friend had one similar to this (minus the lights) when he broke his arm. WHen it reaches full speed, it can start shaking your hand. Cud be a bit unstable... plus it cud hurt like hell. Like beamers. The evil poi.... *winces*

I've got the non-light-up one (Got it from C@ntus in fact)

Don't think you could use it as poi - ne means to attach it really and it's really hard (like, Beamer-hard)

It's a fun training aid though smile

Beamer poi...eviiillll

I may well have chipped the pointy part of my right elbow thanks to beamer poi. I was spinning them at Flipside, and got distracted and WHAM.

Tears came to my eyes...literally...and the people watching all winced, and exclaimed in unison, "Oh that had to hurt."

Nearly a month later, that part of my elbow finally doesn't hurt to touch, but it's still sensitive...

Beamers Rule!!! they're not that bad!! (or is it my skull is too thick)

I have one of those things, use it for strengthening my arm after a wrist injusy, don't think it would work as a light up poi, though I have often wondered!

And they are heavier than beamers so would probably hurt more!

oooh...had a thought!

(very rare these, so hang on to it!)

What if you were to put two of them inside two of thse washing tablet bags, then attach them to a piece of string, or similar?

Would that work?

Beamers Rule!!!

These things will never spin fast enough to actually light up though! you need to get the gyroscopre inside going at about 750rpm to keep them lit!

well if they're for streght training theyd probaly be pretty heavy, heres a thought:

arent their yo - yos that lite up when they're at the end of the string?, if you were spining they would probaly stay lite most of the time, i dont know probaly wouldnt work, but .....
