As far as sock poi go....I have a set of foxy sock poi which I like....if you get certain colors, they glow under the blacklight and you can also put LED's inside them. The jailhouse poi are pretty stretchy and I didn't really like the feel of the ones I played with. I don't know how the cone poi are, but they look nice....you can also get them with ball handles which would be good for tosses. Beyond that, I really like my flowpoi....I have duos, but they might be a bit heavy and menacing for your first poi set....but whatever you think looks best. The trails they create are amazing and they are definitely an eye-grabber.

Good luck in your decision....also, if you're interested in a 15% discount code for HOP, please PM me.

a question for ya bryan should i get the flowmass??

and what type of handle should i get the single looped?

Well, the flowmass just adds weight to the poi. If you haven't spun much poi, you might wanna just go without it. I like heavy poi, but my duos are sufficiently heavy for me. I don't think you really need it unless you really want them to be heavier.

As for handles....I would suggest the double loops. I was apprehensive to get double loops on my first poi set, but I LOVE them....they give you excellent control and they stay on your hands well. Plus, the flowpoi leashes are HELLA comfortable....very soft.

Oh, if you do get flowtoys....be sure to use Kythos' referral thingy....I think it's 'JD sent me' or something....maybe PM him to be sure.

Wait....I thought you were gonna ask your parents for them for your birthday? Did you give up on that or did you just finagle it so you can order it and they'll give you the cash?....cause that's all too sweet...I'm jealous. What colors did you opt for?

Lots of vids please when you get them!!

I am starting to look at getting some new glow poi. I have the ones that Bryan was talking about from HOP which are lovely but i think i need something a bit different now.

Gonna look at some of those flowpoi methinks. ROLL ON PAYDAY!

Get the CRYSTAL POI!

I ordered FlowPOI Single sets, with two additional crystal poi casings for wraps... Well, the crystal casings DON'T HURT! I cracked myself in the head like 20 times last night while learning some new BTB tricks, and my buddy that was over was all scared I was gonna hit him.

I swung it at him HARD, smacked him on his back and his instant reaction was "OMG IT HURT...." he paused, and I was all "yea, a glowstick hurts more doesn't it" and he was AMAZED. (I hit him HARD actually, LOL)

You won't regret it!! The Crystal Poi are awesome for wraps, and they obsorb most of the impact, soft and they sting a bit but I guess I'm used to big welts on my forhead and all over my body lol.

The FLOWPOI on the other hand. OH MY GOD. DO NOT HIT YOURSELF!! Those hurt like there is no tomorrow. I hit both my head and the top of my hand, and i took those back off quite fast.. I do however plan to order more lights, and a DUO maybe a TRIO, but I'll use the crystal POI the most.

If you really wanna get down, get Four flow lights, and four crystal POI, and tie them together use one as a handle. Flip them over your arm and catch for color changes.

PLUS, if you're at a rave, ALL THOSE DAMN PEOPLE ROLLING WHO ARE RETARDS AND WALK INTO YOUR LIGHTS!! Dunno, maybe they're just rolling balls... I still wouldn't want to HURT them :-D

CRYSTAL POI!!

Hmmm... thats got me thinking actually.

I really do not mind the hard ones. Glow poi generally i only use for performances and practicing routines. I tend to learn new stuff with my trusty socks, so i am not overly worried about smacking myself with them.

Out of curiosity what is the brightness like with the flowpoi compared to the HOP rainbow leds? Anyone know? Mine are dulling quite a bit now (mostly i think due to requiring new batteries) but if anyone has any comparisons i would be interested to hear them.

thanks
