Islander Hawaiian Hula Implement Poi Ball, White, Yarn and Fabric

I first learned how to use the Poi balls while I lived in Hawaii. Enjoyed them, but lost them in one of the many moves around the world. Finally found them again and am enjoying relearning how to use them. They are exactly like the ones I bought in Hawaii.

Perfect for working out each morning doing crossovers. I only wish the yarn had a bit more substance to them. Worth the cost

I would definitely say these are only for costume purposes. If someone were to use these for an actual performance, I would say right off the bat they are not really made very well and they are too hard. Ones that you would buy from a Hula instrument store are made much more softer. Speaking from a Hula mom‘s perspective I definitely do not recommend these for an actual performance or practice.

I used these when learning some Maori dances for a production, and had some issues. After learning how to dance with poi balls, after a few months of practice the ball on one of them started to detach and only remained on the handles by a single strand. Overall good use, I'm confident that mine was just a fluke since the other one still hasn't detached after years!

The poi balls were just as I expected. My granddaughters love them and are trying to learn the dances we can see on YouTube.

These poi balls are VERY hard, the tassels are loosely woven and when working them the woven part becomes thin and hard to hold. They are also about 4" too short, if these were for a child they should have made that apparent. I'm 5'4" and they were short for me.

This is a great little set of lightweight & beginners poi. Packaging arrived very timely & in great shape. Thank you!

The strings are good size for children to use
