SPIN BALLSGlow.0 LED Poi – USB Rechargeable w/ 22 Vibrant Color Light Modes & Patterns – Durable, Soft-Core Spinning Balls w/Adjustable Leashes & Double-Loop Handles

I had a lot of fun playing with a borrowed pair of poi, so I bought my own pair of Spin-lights from Amazon for $20. It included the pair of poi with batteries, their strings, an instructional DVD and a carry case. I'd rate them 5 stars because they're a great value for the price. If you're considering learning poi and don't know if you want to do it or not, this is a fantastic starter set. The way the poi are attached to the string at 2 places and the built-in swivel help them hold up to rough use and also help them tangle less.If you spin poi a lot, I suggest buying this set and making some upgrades in 2 areas- the finger tabs that you hold on to, and the string length adjusters. The edges of the nylon finger tabs can rub your adjacent fingers raw if you practice a lot; I'd suggest swapping out for softer leather tabs instead. The string length adjusters on this are kind of flat and broad and thus can cause the strings to tangle at that point; rounder, more streamlined hardware would lessen that effect. Now, that being said, this set is fantastic because it's very easy to change out any of that for something better, or modify what's there.These poi come with a carry sack and a DVD. I don't use the carry sack because it's black and too easily lost in the dark. However the DVD was a definite nice-to-have bonus. I was able to pick up on some of the tricks right off, some came with practice, and some I just didn't get. However, for the ones I didn't get, I at least knew the names of the trick and was able to search you-tube instructional videos to find one that made sense to me.I've had my original set of Spin-lights for about 6 months now. My two children and I practice with them a lot. Even my mostly-inactive niece wants to get up and dance if she can use my poi. This set has been able to so far withstand all of us and they're still very bright and working fine. Note- something has come loose in one of them and rattles around sometimes, but it still works as well as ever.I'm ordering two more sets today- one pair for a gift, and one pair to have as a loaner pair because everyone wants to play with them. These are wonderful.

When I ordered this product, I was expecting a set of cheap leds on string. What I got was much more. These poi have been made with every possible problem attended to. The casing is soft and mailable, allowing the lights inside to remain relatively safe when the balls are impacted. There is a plastic cover which screws over the battery casing to ensure they do not fall out, and even comes with a small easily portable screwdriver. The string seems to resist fraying to badly, and is detachable so you can just use the poi balls themselves without having to bundle up the string in your palms. On the string there is a small plastic piece which allows you to lengthen or shorten how far the poi hangs from your hand. In addition, they came with a 'how to spin poi' CD, which teaches you some basic moves to get started. And of course a manual on how to operate them.Pros- Relatively durable, cheap, versatile, portable, three(?)different light modes, extremely well made for the price. If you want to try it out without making too much of a commitment, BUY THESE. They are great for the curious beginner.Cons- The plastic piece on the string broke within days of getting it, but didn't impede how the poi worked really, just adjusting the string length. Easy replacement. The Blue LED light in one of the ones I went out after a while, but it still flashes all the other colors, and honestly, I've been smashing these things into each other and into walls fairly often and they still work.I have yet to bring these to a show of some sort, but It is great fun to play around with, and a little bit of a workout too :)

The media could not be loaded. This is GREAT for both beginner and advanced Poi spinners!! It is very lightweight, which is pros and cons in terms of spinning poi, in that heavier can sometimes be better, but with it being lighter, when you hit yourself in the head it doesn't hurt as much >.> haha! I enjoy the swivel and loops hand style personally and havent had any equipment issues after spinning for 2 months. I enjoy the ease of use in the LED light selection. I would definitely recommend these for their price, ease of use with the LED, and the weight and swivel style is great to use! I review more flow art toys on my IG @schoolforstitchery

Nice, adjustable-length poi if you want to try it out without spending a fortune. Look great, well constructed, the double loop grip is comfortable and secure. If you are not very tall, you might want to shorten them up a bit more, which would only require untying and retying a knot. Mine have taken some abuse over a week of playing, what with hitting me, the ceiling, and such, and are undamaged -- the electronics still work fine. I contacted the makers with a question, they were responsive and helpful.Only down side is they are a bit lightweight, making learning stalls and such difficult, but there are plenty of other things you can learn and work on, and can put on a pretty nifty light show with these poi and a little practice. If you decide to really get heavily into it, you can grab a heavier set for learning tricks that are easier with a bit more weight.Manufacturer links to a number of helpful videos to learn how to do various moves, through their website or an ap for your phone. I've been very pleased.
