weighted poi handles

2007-09-05T13:06:40Z

hey i made myself some weighted poi handes, for tosses and wibbles, etc. they have a 3/4 oz weight inside a foam golf ball sized handle, attached to the chain connector with stainless steel wire. they are covered in rubber tape and have a nice "hand feel" to them, and are easy to transition between different grips, and are easy to catch. anyway, if you want to try them, i will have some made for WF, message me if you want me to bring you a pair.

Pendulum circle toss pattern

2007-05-30T02:17:26Z

With double-ended poi, time a toss so that the head you were holding goes straight up and the poi continues along the same pendulum path. Catch the opposite head at the horizontal position, fall into spinning the opposite circle. Now you can repeat the mirror image of this toss pattern. All of this is one handed, so now see how you can combine it with the other poi. Hint: you are free to change the way your hands are crossed wile the poi is in the air, so you can catch in a position you couldn't normally spin to in one beat.

Pendulum tracing a circle

One poi diagram of a pendulum circle. Bottom half is normal spin, top half is a pendulum swing lifted 2x the length of the poi, timed such that the poi head continues to trace the same circle as a normal spin. The .5 in 1.5's
