Podpoi
Podpoi are great for both dance-y and technical spinning, and the best option for partner poi. They are built with cushy, mid-weight pod shell heads and relatively thin and supple 6mm smithy cord leashes. Poi spinners who prefer podpoi enjoy them for their streamlined teardrop shape, lighter weight and organic pod design. They are especially suited for beginners and spinners who like dancing with their poi.
One of the most popular features about these poi is that they're great to hand off to new spinners to try out! They are possibly the most inviting and forgiving pair of LED poi in the world.

Coral poi
Coral poi are the best option if your spinning focuses on contact poi moves, tosses, leash tangles, and/or poi juggling. While they coral heads are soft and cushy, they are on the larger/heavier side. They are built with thicker, less rigid 10mm FPC leashes. Coral poi have a beautiful vorenoi pattern that make them look like corals :)
One of the most unique features of coral poi is that you can easily convert them into balls for juggling/contact juggling by removing the leash.
