Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?*
[*Please choose one. This is important as it is the site's equivalent to sating a religion. We have crusades, wars, mass conversions, cathedrals to Nutella, all that stuff.]
Can I only choose one? ONLY ONE? Well then I have to opt for NUTELLA! (although I do enjoy a teeny bit of vegemite with a slathering of melted butter!!)

Welcome to HoP! This is indeed the correct place to post this.
Beginner poi are in the shop, or you can make some (I suggest something heavier than tennis balls, like 120g of rice or pearl barley or such).
Try the library here for moves, (or browse the youTube, there are plenty of beginner lessons around, of varying degrees of good).
Anyway, good choice of books.
PS: mind the squirrels. After being used as practice poi, they tend to snap at newcomers....

We do hope so.
Even if Marmite is better.
I have yet to try Vegemite though.

I must voice my dislike of Marmite - Vegemite is god of all highly salty spreads XD
But I won't force my opinion onto you... least not until you've actually tried vegemite.
(and I can't eat a lot of it. I have to have it with LOADS of butter and sparingly XD)

Hey and welcome,
I still think tennis balls in stripey socks are the best to learn on, I have a fair few different types of poi and the socks feel the best.
And I'll have to agree with you on vegemite with lots of butter

Welcome! I started on foxy socks that I got here. They are good they stretch a little more than I like, but that's just me, some people like them that way.
I agree, start with something a little more heavy, rice is good, and another thing about tennis balls they bouce apart (and sometimes to your face)when they hit together, rice doesn't.
Also dont be scared to get hit. No one likes to get hit in the face BUT YOU WILL get hit, so don't fear it, it isn't that bad... besides you will have a cool story to tell if you get a black eye!
Anyway good luck!

I wear a lot of black makeup, so a black eye will just save me a lot of trouble in the mornings ... haha bring it on!!
I'm not scared of getting hit, and you're right about the whole rice being non-bouncy. I'll try both, and see which one I get more of a feel for.Thankyou ^_^
And as for you treloar... I prefer nutella
