thanks for the tips! these are great for beginners like myself! especially love the closeups of the hands showing the grips! very well produced and thought out! :)

thanks for that, I just got a "real" set of poi with the double loop and I was having a hard time getting it to feel comfortable. I still prefer the knot of my sock poi as I feel I have more control than just a finger loop but I can see the ability to make it look more "magical" by being able to open my palms!

thanks again for the tutorial on grips!

Baa. Maybe double loop isnt for you? I prefer single loop myself. I put my ring and pinky fingers through the loop and use the "key grip"

Also... with socks, I wrap once around my middle and index finger to take the weight and then around my index finger for control.

My basic point is there are a lot of ways to hold your poi that are not demonstrated, choose one that fits you (And your poi, my socks are very long and I like that for spiral wraps that last for aaaaaaages) :D Happy twirling.

this is actually very useful! There are hardly any tutorials on grips, so this is nice :)
