I picked up hooping a couple weeks ago, but I haven't been able to make much progress. I bought a small adult hoop from Canyon Hoops. The hoop is 38" about 1.5lbs. I did a decent amount of research…

"Polypro is extremely light compared to what you've been using, and that's not necessarily bad—it's just going from one extreme to the other. It takes more energy and speed to keep a polypro hoop going around you. A hoop…"

Fauna replied to the discussion 'need help picking my next hoop!!'"The reason heavy, large hoops are recommended for new hoopers is because you don't have to work as hard to build up momentum. The more momentum built up, the less likely the hoop will start to fall (like while chest hooping or knee hooping). As…"

"Umm I'd say polypro if your hoop is bruising everytime you use it. You should only get your first round or 2 of initiation bruises. I'm pretty sure moodhoops makes day hoops, and I know superhooper does, and I've heard good things…"

Dave McKenzie replied to the discussion 'need help picking my next hoop!!'"Sounds like you should try a polypro hoop. You can get a 'clear' one for a reasonable price from Discount Hoop Supplies ( http://hoopsupplies.com/shop/?id=27&collid=101 )."

need help picking my next hoop!!
I picked up hooping a couple weeks ago, but I haven't been able to make much progress. I bought a small adult hoop from Canyon Hoops. The hoop is 38" about 1.5lbs. I did a decent amount of research but this hoop is just not for me. It is extremely thick and hard, I think it is 200psi. It came wrapped in electrical tape, which i took off in hopes of making it lighter. It has given me bruises on my hips which stops me from hooping for a couple days. I have been looking into lots of hoops…See More
