What is Zip Poi?

Zip Poi, a revolutionary creation by Bow for his NOMA project, represents a fresh take on poi spinning. Born from the original contact poi, Zip Poi adds a dynamic twist, allowing the head to slide along the rope during balanced, held, or spun movements. Bow’s design caters to traditional poi tricks and innovative maneuvers, providing a versatile experience for spin enthusiasts.

With Zip Poi, practitioners can expect a blend of tradition and innovation, crafted to achieve precision in movement. The prop encourages a unique style of poi manipulation, opening doors to creative exploration. The carefully calculated weight ratio among the knob, rope, and ball ensures stability and a light overall feel, ideal for peak performance.

Zip Poi is not just a prop; it’s a testament to innovation, balance, and the pursuit of perfection in the art of poi manipulation.

Be aware of rope shrinkage

Despite being the static rope with the least shrinkage percentage on the market your poi are still going to shrink by up to 2 cm depending on the length of the poi. All ropes shrink eventually. It is due absorption of humidity and other elements.

How it happens:

If you really need a certain poi length be aware of your prop usage and we recommend getting poi that is 2 cm longer than desired so it will shrink to your ideal length.Β 

Bow tip: too long is better than too short. You can easily shorten the rope when needed. If so contact us for the manual how to shorten your poi set.
