Hi I just found your site,

My name is Lynn I’m from London, I saw someone on TV this week and found out what the name of this was, (poi).
I’ve seen it before but as I said I didn’t know what it was.
I’m a bagpiper a side and tenor drummer in a Scottish pipe band(not playing them all at the same time Laughing ),
I mention this because the tenor drumming we use sticks that has a string on one end to loop on the fingers and a soft ball type head.
The swings I do are very much like that of poi, now I’ve found out the name of it its great , as I practice my swings for tenor drumming every day and this can add something different to practice time, obviously it cannot be used while playing the tenor but will make practice more exciting.
At the same time I will have fun with the longer ones.

See ya around
