Pince the end of your sock poi with your thumb and fore finger.
You could use rings but really pincing the ends of the sock will give you good control

Once you find a comfortable fitting for your handles [there are MANY different ways to do so, just find one that fits you] go and find yourself a nice big wall...stand parallel to the wall and spin with your hand by your hip. both directions. allow your poi to hit the wall, doing so will align then to a correct plane. once you get confident enough you should be almost flush against the wall...do this for some time with both hands, in both directions, facing the wall, away from the wall, in front of you, behind you, and all places you can think to place your arm when spinning. this will make you very comfortable with your poi and you will later be able to spin with ease in places many find difficult. i have been spinning for some time now, and i've done this training exorcise recently, and it dramatically helped my spinning.
Good luck, and happy spinning. ! xXx

Hello im also from the philippines.  I started learning poi just 2 years ago. I got my poi from boracay ( ribbon poi and fire poi ) I think you can get those from places such that or better yet you can buy online. hope this is helpful.
