"I don't know if i'm correct or not, but polypro can't be made into an infinity style hoop because apparently it's prone to cracking."

"OMG! Jagged on one side? It sounds like you have the extra piece for infinity-style coiling inserted! Look closely; is the unfinished edge attached to a removable piece? :)"
Alycia Betts replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"Polypro is whatever you want it to be, you want it to be fast and bouncy, you can make it do that. If you want it to be slow and hardly moving, yet still connecting with your body, you can do that.I say if you ordered a hoop and you recieved it and…"
doc replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"and yes polypro is going to be bouncy....especially if youre doing fast brakes and stuff like that. shoot just when i carry my hoops they tend to bounce a bit and the largest i carry around with me is a 34""
doc replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"and u measure the inside of hoop not the outside...if youre a hooper that gets inside your hoop you need to know the space on the inside of the hoop not the outside. outside measurements will be off depending on how thick your tubling is. i…"
misstosha replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"push button connector....and not cut straight...jagged on one side.
thanks for all the advice guys :)
much appreciated...i suppose i shall ask for opinions of sellers here before i buy.
muchlove."
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"Double-check both hoops for size - use a measuring tape and measure all the way around the outside of the hoop then divide by pi (3.14). That will give you the actual size and you'll know if it's the new one or the old one (or both) that…"
Shannon replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"I agree, I don't know who you ordered from, but whoever it was should be happy to help, especially since it was a prob;em on their part. They may send you a new one so you wont have to mess with altering the one you got."
StudentHeike replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'
"Yes, I agree - not bigger than 38" I also make Polypros!!"
StudentMaisieHoops of *HulaHoopers.ca* replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'
"Did you contact the seller to find out why you didn't reveieve what you had ordered? I would start with them to see what they suggest. As others mentioned, it will be fine to cut down, especially since you have a few inches to play with."
StudentMichelleBell replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'
"I feel like no matter what size your polypro is it shouldn't be bouncy at all...maybe if the connection isnt good. You should deff try cutting it down tho...I sell polyrpos and I usually dont make hoops bigger than 38''...good…"
Niisha Doodle replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"Hopefully. If it even is polypro looks like they had a hard time fulfilling your order there. I've heard of people saying they have 40" polypros that work fine. Mines 38" and I can't see it getting flimsy if it were bigger. But…"
doc replied to the discussion 'polypro questions.'"36 is usually the largest you want a prolypro...do u have pvc cutters?"

Robin said… - So sorry it took so long to get back... crazy small world.... I live about 5-10 miles down the road from where you grew up... and currently attend Kaskaskia College. When the mother nature permits..... we should get together for a hoop jam. There are so few around here that enjoy hooping. So far my hooping lessons have mainly been with children, which I love... But it's nice to be challenged by fellow adult hoopers. Although, I do have a 7-yr-old protegee that has experience in tumbling and she kicks ass. Can't wait to see how she progresses in the near future.
