Semi Static Poi
Semi-static contact poi - semi-rigid rope for stable throws and responsive spin. Between tech poi and juggling club. From 70 €.
These Contact Poi match perfectly with our Static Fire Poi. They are the favorite option of poi jugglers and come with all our ball and handle options. The rope is fairly stiff, which makes throws much cleaner. In the air, it behaves almost like a stick and stays super responsive while spinning.
It honestly feels almost like cheating. Stalls are also much easier with this rope. The rigidity gives you more margin for error, so you don't need to be as precise as with thinner or floppy ropes.
The rope diameter is 11 mm, using one of the highest-quality and most durable ropes available.
Note
The rope will shrink by about 4 cm over time. This semi-static rope is very rigid. It holds its shape when thrown and offers unique stability, sitting somewhere between a poi and a juggling club.
Moves like tangles are a bit more demanding, but everything remains possible.
Handle Choice
Silicone Knobs by PLAY — Trusted for 10+ years, excellent balance. 30 gr
Our best seller and often the favorite for poi juggling. Dense, very durable, very grippy, with great UV colors. Available in two sizes : small version works well with 6 mm rope. The larger hole makes attachment easier, with more space to work.
Widmar XL (3D printed) — Extra squishy, super comfy. 10 gr
Created over 10 years ago by passionate prop maker Justin Widmar, they've been among the most loved handles on the market ever since. Very soft, flat-bottomed, perfect for 2 poi in 1 hand, they naturally catch each other and sit in place.
Not grippy at all, making releases very easy. Gentle on the wrists, even with high throws. Very tear-resistant : practically unbreakable.
Plenty of internal space for a finishing knot with thinner ropes, making length adjustments easy. Weight can be adjusted with washers (1 washer = 5 gr).
Ball Choice
90 mm — 170 gr
The most common choice. Fits almost everyone unless you prefer very heavy poi. Slightly squishy and forgiving on impact. Ideal size for catching the head which is harder to do with 100 mm.
100 mm — 210 gr
More weight means more control. Great for throws, stalls, and slow spinning. Can feel tiring for fast spinning. Good match for heavier fire heads.
100 mm Glitter — 200 gr
Very pretty. Enough said.
How to choose the right poi length?
The right length depends on your body (arm extended, thumb to chest) and your spinning style: shorter for speed and sharp stops, longer for a slower, more grounded flow.
When in doubt, go longer. You can shorten a rope, you cannot add length. We made this tab to give some reference of the average our customers like, but personal experience and preference go first.

These ropes shrink 3 to 5 cm over time, which makes this advice even more relevant.
| Your height | Short Poi | Average Poi | Long Poi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 160 cm - 5'3" | 51 cm - 20" | 56 cm - 22" | 61 cm - 24" |
| 170 cm - 5'7" | 54 cm - 21" | 59 cm - 23" | 64 cm - 25" |
| 180 cm - 5'11" | 57 cm - 22.5" | 62 cm - 24.5" | 67 cm - 26.5" |
| 190 cm - 6'3" | 60 cm - 23.5" | 65 cm - 25.5" | 70 cm - 27.5" |
If your height falls between two rows, do a quick rule of three. You're a fire spinner, you can handle this.
