- The secret to getting clean poi stalls! In this video I outline my 3 best tips for getting your stalls as clean as possible with your poi. Stalls are one of the most important poi tricks we ever learn in our poi spinning careers. They're great for transitions, timing and direction shifts, and look really cool in and of themselves. In this poi spinning tutorial, I'm going to give you my 3 favorite tips for how to do poi stalls clean and crisp every time!
This poi stalls tutorial covers my "box" approach to thinking about stalls as well as how to stall poi using more kinesthetically intuitive methods. Stalls are incredibly helpful poi spinning tricks, so make sure to get these down and get these clean!

Thank you for all of your videos Drex! They are great
This is amazing! I m just starting to learn stalls and can't wait to try some more of these direction / timing combinations.
I'm basically re-learning poi and I'm using your guides. I'm really excited how this goes. Keep up the good work my friend.
woooow another great video!!!congrats
Drex thank you so much I actually got my first stall from this! Thank you thank you!
I live for your explanations, makes so much sense
Great Video, i feel like while i get better with i am able to play smoother overall. Thanks a lot now i know how to train effectively.
Wow great vid thank you! The squared circle was brilliant mate!
Thumbs up dude! Good tips, will put it in practice
Your method helped me nail those tricky top stalls. Thanks
Superb tips 👍👍👍
So great and helpful! Thank you
Thank you so much drex!!!!
Wonderful explanation
I've been working on my top stalls, and as soon as you mentioned Spin Balls because they are lighter I went right to get mine and work on it. Spin Balls were my first poi I bought; before that I used homemade sock poi.
This video is great! Thank youuu :D
I’ve been learning in Spinballs and everyone that picks them up who spins heavy poi can’t spin mine cause there to lite. I’m glad I took your advice to start with lighter poi
nice description of how to go about it Drex... got me some homework :)
Brilliant. Epiphany.
I love this channel
I just my first set of Spin Balls today. Going start practicing
Awesome lesson, thank you Drex!
You're so welcome! :)
Possibly a new favorite. Amazing video
Thank you so much! This one was quite a journey to edit but I think the outcome was totally worth it :)
Te amo! Que buena explicacion -
Drex, you're the best poi teacher ever. You've really accelerated my learning.
I haven't gone through all of your dozen youtube stall videos yet, but here are my impressions so far. Stalls are generally harder than they look, especially top horizontals, and they really require a lot of control. Each stall has two parts: getting in and getting out. As I develop fluidity, getting in and out becomes all one sequence of movements. Getting in involves decelerating the poi head. Getting out means keeping control and smoothly re-accelerating the poi head into motion. For best technique, the poi leash stays straight. I want to use varying tension in the leash during the entire sequence to decelerate, then accelerate the poi head. To me, the key part of the sequence, is initiating the poi head's transition from circular to linear. It requires a lot of finesse. With lots of reps, all of this should become natural and fluid. Drex, you certainly make it all look easy.
Thank you--it comes from years of practice! Glad to hear the videos are a help to you--please let me know if you have any suggestions for things that need clarification or problems you run into that I don't cover in these videos!
very helpful drex:D i love the imaginary box method, i think this will help me out ALOT:)
Glad to hear it! When I stumbled upon it myself I was pleasantly surprised by how well and how cleanly it described all the different stalls. Give it a whirl and let me know how it works for you! Also: don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already ;)
Ah needed this video.
Glad to be of help! :)
1.25 your mimic XD Very helpful video mate
After you do that, do stalls with one hand while spinning the other. Good luck!
You are the best for me thank you
That means a lot! Thank you :)
Awesome explaination but I still don't get the exact movements... Dunno is I wil ever make it with the upper sralls by myself some day.
Amazing thanks
My pleasure! Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already :)
Thanks👏👏👏👍👍👍
I love you Drex
Your explanation wasn't just over simplified; it was pretty much wrong.
When the poi is at one of the four cardinal points of the circle that meets the box its momentum is exactly perpendicular to the poi which is what cause the box to form. If you move your hand to stall at the edge of the circle you're no longer changing the poi's momentum thus it goes in a straight line instead of in a circle. You're cancelling out its vector rather than its force.
Other than that, great video, the box idea really helped my stalls a lot :D
Ha! I knew I was gonna catch hell on that one. I kind of went into this with an ELI5 mindset--lots of people watching this video won't have much math or science under their belt. At some point I'd love to do a video on vectors and how the physics of movement vectors tie into what we do with poi spinning (orbitals are a great demonstration of the conservation of angular momentum), but even just setting up that explanation would have taken half this video so I settled for something that I thought sounded reasonably correct for the lay person.
Hopefully my bad explanation didn't distract too much from the lesson and thanks for keeping me honest!
Lolz Of course...watching it now it dawns on me that I could've cut out that explanation entirely and the video still would have worked. Hindsight and all that. :-P
DrexFactor Poi It didn't take anything away from the video really, I just figured if someone wanted a more detailed explanation it's here for them to read 😄
This is a bit far-fetched possibly:
For a more detailed explanation of the physics of poi, you could collab with a science CZcams channel. It'd give them a good chance to explain the physics of momentum and could attract new people to an extremely enjoyable activity. It's an idea 😅

That is a FANTASTIC idea! :)

Yep, I still suck at stalls after watching every stall video on CZcams 😭
I feel this comment so much… I’m struggling so hard, even with this amazing explanation 😭
I have to say watching this with captions on was amusing.
Now go make beautiful stalls😅😅 im so childish
Mathematical equations proving the theories of these methods would help.
Whoaaa! Anonymous support you? Like the guys behind the Fawkes masks? Thts awesome!!!! yay hacktivism!!
Jk Jk just had to make tht joke
Shoutout to the actual anonymous mentioned, big time & thnks for the vid
Ha! I wish...it's actually that one of my supporters wished to remain anonymous. No hackers involved.
