Flag poi are a type of poi that have a large trailing piece of fabric similar to a flag. They are made with large sheets of material that look like flags and are brightly colored, which makes them visually stunning. Flag poi have a separate handle with a swivel connecting it to the flag, which allows you to do any number of rotations in one direction without the fabric twisting or rolling up. They are also weighted along the leading edges, which allows them to be spun in a similar way to poi.

Flag poi are often used for daytime visual effects, flowers, and hybrids, and they are also a great training tool for plane control. They are best used inside or outside on a less windy day, as they can catch the wind and flap against you or the other flag poi.

It is worth noting that in some contexts, such as in Maori culture, poi flags are used as a symbol of peace. However, in the context of poi spinning, flag poi are primarily used for their visual appeal and as a tool for developing poi spinning skills.
