What Size Hoop ?

Two Questions to ask . . . . . . Are you new to hooping or a seasoned hooper? . . . . . . . . . What do you want the hoop to do?

For new hoopers: Don't bother measuring yourself ! I'm a midget and use a large hoop....i need to hoop slowly.

Ask. . . . what hoop have you used before and succeeded with ? Have that.

 Not used a hoop before ? start with a large one, from the Hoop-Rack or a one colour hoop, you'll soon want a smaller one as you progress. Get success now and you will suceed in the long run.

Your large hoop will be handy to go back to as you learn specific tricks.

Remember the bigger the better.

A larger hoop rotates slower allowing more time to learn the moves.

For more experienced hoopers:

 To do faster intricate tricks: Smaller is best.

 For off-body work: Lighter and smaller is best.

The new 20mm thinner lighter pipe 

This pipe is best for smaller hoops if you want a more rigid hoop, or a more flexible large hoop...Your choice.

If you choose this for body hooping make sure

you are a good hooper.

This will hoop so much faster !

Ideal for off-body work and fast tricks

For Children

Depends on size of child:

Teenagers of small adult size use an adult hoop.

Smaller children use 20mm pipe in 36" or less.

38" 550 400 480 330 600

40" 600 510

This is not scientifically accurate, it's a guide.

Some hoops are fractionally thicker in places and bigger overall.

The final weight will be more add:

50- 70g min for tape and more for electronics if you have specialist hoops !

Remember:

A strong tubing is essential to maintain the circle.

But there is a balance between rigidity and flexibility......

cheap children's hoops are not rigid enough and too flexible.

Ideal for learning off body stuff in a class that's all!
