I bought these after contemplating taking up spinning again, and I have to say I am extremely impressed.

My old poi were much heavier, so I was a little worried by the lightness of these poi, but they spun so well I was in awe of it all as I tried out a few basic weaves.

The tails themselves look great, and people I have performed for have said they love the effect it gives.

They work great for beginners too, as I let my little brother try them out, and because they are so soft and light, there were no tears from being bashed in the head.

Overall a fantastic buy, and a great investment for every spinner.

I'm simply amazed by these little beauties, there's just no better way to put it.

They act similar to your standard tennis ball poi, which is really great, as pretty much anyone of any level can use them.

However, the big draw of these above standard tennis ball or sock poi is the veils. I use that word purposefully, they look so much like veil poi (look them up, they're amazing) it's incredibly, and yet they're much easier to control.

The string length is a bit short than I'm used to, and significantly shorter than my split meteors, but the long veils at the end make that a requirement, as you'll soon see when you try them. The veils also mean you'll have to relearn a couple of tricks, to a small extent of course, as the veils do drag back a bit, and can tangle much easier than the standard ribbons of normal poi.

All of that said, my reccomendation? BUY THEM! Seriously, the veils on these things are better than any I've ever seen, and I'm using these more than my regular sets now. Trust me, grab a pair (I think white is nicest, really ghostly look), at this price it's a bargain.

I purchased the Pyropixies Spiral Poi as my first set about a year ago and I still adore them. They are ideal to me for learning the basics and finding their flow. The beanbag body is extremely forgiving which was good for me because I smacked myself in the face and extremities pretty often. The scarves look beautiful on top of slowing down the poi so your not flailing around so badly or even if you are it looks pretty. Thanks to these poi I quickly got comfortable with swinging and am not able to spin my weighted flowtoys with little fear. ;P I highly recommend Pyropixies Spiral Poi for both beginners and experienced people alike.
Happy spinning!

Easy to use, they are great for learning poi and light exercise for the heart and body. They also look pretty. Not too heavy or too light.
