Very Pleased
Reviewer: Spring Johnston from United StatesAlthough full of beginner's, intermediate, and even difficult moves, this book isn't just for regular poisters. There are sections for other types of poi, fire and sock for example. I am very pleased with the advice and guidance this book shares. It has helped me recognize my bad habits of spinning poi, and given very good advice to fixing them and then solidifying good ones.
Thank you HOP for your speedy shipping and this pleasurable tool! :)
Nothing better
Reviewer: Tom Cole from United KingdomIt may be more or less the only book written on poi, but it leaves no room for another. It's well written, full of informative tips and the writing style is clear and accessible. The diagrams are also excellent. If you don't get this, regardless of level, then you're a muppet.!
Highly recommended
Reviewer: Solar_bear from United KingdomI held back from buying this book at first, as I've always found it difficult to learn moves from photos, diagrams and descriptions alone; it was the glowing reviews I read everywhere else that changed my mind.
And how well-deserved they are. The love and care that has gone into this book is obvious from the start; the author is clearly somebody who not only knows and loves her subject, but truly wants to share her knowledge with the reader and help them develop their skills. The book is not just a list of moves and fancy tricks, it's a very useful guide to creating eye-catching performances, full of energy and flow, even from simple moves.
The text, tips and pictures work together beautifully, to build a mental movie of what should be happening. The diagrams (my usual bugbear) are exemplary, clearly showing stance, poi position / direction AND those vital hand positions.
This may be "the only" book available on Poi, but it will be THE standard work for many years to come.
A must.
