They look like some I got last year; if so then-

they are very good for the price and look really nice stuck in a pair of white sports socks.

Additionally, you can pop the light unit out of the shell/ball (they WILL NOT go back in though) and put them in socks, pointing up, and secure with rubber bands to give a different light effect and a more pocketable pair of poi.

As juggling balls they are usable, but the weighting is way off due to the light/charging unit being on one side- however you can 'tweak' them by securing 3 ten-pence pieces to the opposite side of the ball with strips of cellotape.

Not pretty in the daylight, but, at night, very pretty indeed (and the balance is then spot-on for juggling).

Lastly, I should say them I'm a pretty decent juggler and don't drop much- my mate trashed most of his glo-balls by juggling and dropping loads- if this happens, do as I said above, keep the popped out light/charger and use them as sock poi.

They're very much like the rainbow soft-glow HOP balls except bigger but rechargeable... Nice...

I bought one, now I need to get the other as they ran out of stock when I was at Maplin...

Lugging both charger unit display stands will be a b*tch though...
