Great question! All of our gear recommendations are in the gear section. This includes gear reviews, tutorials on how to make your own poi, and videos of people sharing their own poi designs.
The quick answer: We recommend starting with poi that are long enough to hang a few inches off the ground when your arms are hanging at your sides. Start with the weight of a tennis ball, and go lighter or heavier if you need to. Both the tether and the weight should be soft, to avoid bruises and unnecessarily difficult tangles. We think sock-poi are a great way to start. See the gear section to buy a pair or to learn how to make your own!
