I started hooping with a water hoop from target appx 36" and the OD is appx 1". I have since purchased a 125 1/2" PE hoop 36" but it's just too light, even with lots of tape I need more weight to master trix. I also have a 100 3/4 PE hoop that's 40" which is too thick and too slllllooooow (but I like the weight).

So... for all of you hoop tubing experts out there. Is there anything comparable in size and weight of a target water hoop but RIGID? I love my Target hoop but I find it a bit floppy. I tried adding water to my 125 1/2 PE hoop but it didn't work as planned. It didn't stay balanced like my Target hoop and was all wobbly, it also lost it's rigidity and got floppy.... I put about a cup in and tried taking some water out and it just got worse....

Can anyone help? I just need a thin (OD of the 125 1/2" PE or target/walmart water hoops) rigid hoop that has a bit of weight at 36".
