What? Hello? My ears were burning. Was somebody talking about me, or is it the tiger balm?

Oh, the orange poi. Those are Drew's "Poibus 2000" (I call them that, not him), guaranteed to straighten your planes by 20%.

Wonderful poi. I spent a month convinced I could upstall them and get them to balance them on the fabric, so they'd actually stop. He'd put nice juggling balls in them, which were taken and slashed open by the Australian immigration guards. I'm using Cole-Poi.

They were reasonably heavy millit filled jugging balls, but not as heavy as the poi Bluecat uses in his poi.

"guaranteed to straighten your planes by 20%"
I think you'll find its 18.7% hacktually

How much Drew loving does there need to be to get a pear?
Not orange though, a pear.

mmm....fruit.

ucof: The s 18:7% plane improvement was recorded by some test subjects,
Further investigation showed that these testees had the left poi in their right hand and vice versa.
interversing your poi hand configuration should get you up a couple of percent.

Lime?

i only get a 11% improvement in plane orientation...

but then again, i don't have the orange ones.

'poibus 2000'
and wasn't the brandname 'truflite' for a while?

drew - ask me about cats and fabric when you see me next...

oops, sent him a question about this again. Forgot I made this thread. Does anyone know how much the orange poi weigh in the ends?

Hard to say, because it's entirely dependent on local gravity
