Hi all

I have just started spinning poi (checking out the tuition vids). I have been using
fire poi on chains that i bought in amsterdam,(not on fire) i have ordered some sock poi and
some ultra poi.What i want to know is will these other types be easyer to learn the basics
with. Any advice on this or tips for absulute beginers would be GREAT...


Chears people...

It really depends- tails look awesome when no taps and wraps are involved- they are best for sock poi!!!
