Were toroids a lost secret of tech poi or a hideous tangent that should be left on the dustpile of history? A decade ago, there was a brief craze among poi spinners to show off 3 dimensional flower patterns based around the idea of having a poi trace patterns across the surface of a donut or toroid. The concept was incredibly challenging and required poi spinners to learn entirely new approaches to poi spinning and definitely resulted in a surplus of sloppy and bizarre poi tricks. But are toroids due for a comeback? Here, I outline what led to both their rise and fall and drop some basic information about the techniques and theory underlying poi toroids. See if they're a good fit for you!
