I think poi is just like learning a musical instrument, after you've learned the basics and mastered a few tricks you realise that you can do anything if you put some time and effort into it.

the socks are nice though because they don't stretch quite as much...stretchy is fun, but it can make things a little difficult when first starting

I made my first ones with tennis balls aswell, but then my balls didnt like the tennis ones so much, normal socks rolled up within long socks is a lot more friendly.
Practise makes Poi-fect :P

also try and find a weight you like, i had a harder time learning with my nylons and socks because they were too light
