POI is one of the best things you can ever discover. 'Poi' the Maori word for ball on a cord . The POI was used, many years ago, by the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand to increase their flexibility and strength in their hands and arms as well as improving coordination. Wahine (female) dancers perform the Maori Poi, a dance performed with balls attached to flax strings, swung rhythmically. The POI dance was originally used by the Maori women for keeping their hands flexible for weaving and by the men for strength and coordination required during battle. The above Fabric Poi are more thought of as International Poi . Hand made using a variety of modern fabrics and lasting materials.

17th August, 2024 Pair of Cone Poi with Carry Bag Great Tools, a lot of chemicals "Everything regarding shipping, overall Quality and shipping time was awesome. Only 1 of the 20 pairs of poi had a small sewing-issue at the velcros, where the velcros came off partially while opening. Only optimization point: - a heavy chemical smell from all 3 components: the carry bag, the cone, as well as the balls for filling the poi. The fabric probably is not an eco-friendly organic cotton. There is some room for ecological improvement. Would recommend ordering at your shop if these points are integrated. Thanks a lot, anyways!" Antonios, Germany.

Reply from Home of Poi: "We’re glad to hear that most of the poi sets met your expectations.
Regarding the concerns you mentioned about the chemical smell and the eco-friendliness of the materials, I’d like to share some details about our products. The poi weight balls are made from a soft shell fabric, and the inner filling is 100% recycled rubber, sourced from materials like used tires. The carry bag is sublimated to give it a fancy look.
We understand the importance of ecological responsibility, and we’re continuously exploring ways to improve the environmental friendliness of our products. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make these advancements."

26th January, 2024 Pair of EMPTY Cone Poi Good enough "In December I ordered 5 pairs for teaching others. Unfortunately, 3 of the 10 are an inch shorter than the rest, and on the other 7 the inside seams are not overlocked, the hem is left loose and is already fraying. I ordered a pair of these over a decade ago, they've lasted me very well. The 'invisible' velcro seal, sturdy non-stretchy fabric and loops were major selling points to me. The construction seems otherwise the same standard, though these newer ones have slightly wider handles which is no problem at all. Unfortunately I'm concerned that this lack of quality control also suggests a general decline in quality overall. Where else are corners being cut?" Thenagain, United Kingdom.

10th December, 2023 Pair of EMPTY Cone Poi Nice set "This is a great practice set. Easily adjust weight (I use rice bags). When learning new moves, the slow nature of these cloth poi provide precision and controllability. Peace, joy, and Poi!"
22nd November, 2023 Pair of Cone Poi with Carry Bag Great Starter Poi "I wanted to by poi that were cheaper than contact poi, didn't stretch, and that wasn't as distracting flag poi. These poi turned out to be the perfect kind for me to begin my poi journey. I bring them everywhere." Anon, USA. [Verified Buyer] SILVER Member since Nov 2016

4th November, 2022 Pair of Pro Knob Rainbow Reflective Stripe Poi Quality poi. "I love these fabric poi! What else can I say? I was worried about the weight when I ordered them; I like heavy. It turns out they have a hefty weight to them. These poi are great for juggling, wrist wraps, air wraps, stalls, flowers, body bounces and tracers Actually everything I ve tried with them has worked excellently. I already had LED poi, but I wanted a daytime flow, and this is it."
26th October, 2021 Pair of Cone Poi with Carry Bag Great Poi "The fabric used for this poi set is very strong and thicker than I expected. This is a huge improvement over the older fabric poi I purchased maybe 10 years ago from Home of Poi. The balls included have a good weight as well. I'm very happy with this Poi set!" Randall, USA.
