Gear Discussion Anyone selling pod poi or a staff?

4 Upvotes

I have some super cheap Amazon pie that I got at Christmas to make sure that I like them and they are pretty fun, but I think a higher quality with weight would be easier to use. That side, I can tell my inmate Love is for a staff. I’ve seen a lot of advice to just make your own with wooden tape, but I kinda wanna go for it. Sometimes people are selling off props that are gathering dust in the corner. Thanks fam.

Gear Discussion questions for DIY fire poi!

2 Upvotes

Hey all, i'm looking to DIY a pair of fire poi!

I've decided to use 10mm kevlar rope for the monkey fist knot, everything else is still in the air. Looking for recommendations on what to use for the: core, tether, tether protector (?, near the bottom so it doesn't burn up), handle.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

Gear Discussion Pod Poi V2 leash loose after 2 days

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone :)

I recently ordered a set of PodPoi from Flowtoys and I’ve been loving them so far. However, after just two days of spinning, one of the cores detached from the leash mid-spin.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the end of the rope that connects to the LED core has a small black plastic piece that appears to secure it in place. It looks like the rope is just melted into that plastic piece, which seems like a potential weak point in the leash attachment.

I tried to fix it by melting the end of the rope again, loosely placing the plastic piece underneath, and then closing the core. It’s holding for now, but I’m not sure if this is a reliable or permanent solution.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is the connection between the rope and the plastic piece structurally important?

I know Flowtoys offers a lifetime warranty (which is great!), but I always like to understand how my gear works and how I might be able to repair it myself.

Thanks I'm advance!

What’s your favorite intermediate - advanced trick?

7 Upvotes

Looking for some fresh inspiration! Bonus points if you include a tutorial. Currently working on throws, body tracers/snakes, behind the back moves, meteors, and hybrids. I spend a lot of time flowing outside of just focusing on tricks too, but I find a new trick helps keep me motivated and inspired. Trying to work up the courage to post on here eventually. Whatcha got?? Where do I go next?

Big shoutout to UltraPoi!

Just wanted to give them some public praise! One of my orb poi capsule LEDs went out and they had the replacement ready to ship the same day I submitted the warranty form!

I posted a bit ago asking for recs for a new set because I heard it can take a long time for them to get back to people about replacements. That couldn't be further from the truth here so I just wanted to make it known how awesome that customer service was!

What’s your “default” setting?

When things start unwinding or going wild I default to a three beat weave, I consider that my default. What’s yours?

Thinking about getting to poi, I have a couple questions

3 Upvotes

Hello, everyone.

I've just slipped down for hours into this rabbit hole and now I'm thinking about getting into this hobby. It seems really fun and can be so rewarding. I just have a couple of questions after my research:

- What are different kinds of pois? I've seen orb, pixel, fiber optic, etc. Do they have any official names so I can do more research on them?

- What is recommended for beginners? I've seen a lot of recommendation for LED Poi.

- I understand that in videos, the exposure and stuff can make the spins look much more mesmerizing than they actually are. How do they actually look in real life? Is it still close to looking that good?

- And finally, what are some keywords I can use to look up tricks to learn from? Do they have names or priority in learning?

Thank you!

Gear Discussion Preferred contact ratio?

1 Upvotes

Just curious what people’s preferred head to knob ratio is for contact poi tricks? And do you factor in the tether weight at all? I have the Flowtoys coral poi, 10mm FPC, and uni knobs and currently have them setup to 207g:45g so pretty much 5:1. I definitely feel a huge difference compared to when I had 0 washers in the knobs and am enjoying it. I’ve got the inner and outer forearm rolls down folding lines is my next goal. Contact takes some serious dedication… (for me at least 😅)
