Polypro Hoops

POLYPRO - What is Polypro?

Polypro is a nickname given to the type of plastic that these hoops are made out of. \nWikipedia states- “Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropylene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including packaging and labeling, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes.”……and now Hoops!


What is a polypro hoop?

  • Polypro hoops are generally lighter than an exercise or beginner hoop
  • Polypro hoops come in many different colors, the sky's the limit!
  • A polypro hoop is normally used by a more "advanced" hooper
  • Polypro hoops are great for doing on and off-body hooping tricks
  • This hoop is very popular in the Instagram Hooping communities
  • Polypro hoops are a great idea if you want a high-performance hoop

    Will a Polypro Hoop make me a better hooper?

    Most definitely, but it’s not going to happen without some effort on your part. It’s not like you can just buy a polypro hoop and suddenly be as skilled as Rachael Lust (she’s incredible, by the way.)\n...ok, where was I? Oh yes, you need to practice. \nPolypro hoops require a faster hooping style and they also open up a whole new book of tricks and moves that will not feel as good without a polypro hoop.


    What is a colored polypro hoop?

    A colored polypro hoop is a hoop made out of polypro tubing that is colored, ie; not opaque. The Spinsterz has a special formulation for creating colored polypro hoops in a wide variety of colors.


    What is a bare polypro hoop?

    A bare hoop is a hoop that has no decoration, tape or anything applied over the surface if it. It is "bare" Bare hoops can be made from colored tubing.


    What is a taped polypro hoop?

    A taped polypro hoop is a hoop made from polypro tubing that has been wrapped with a special decorative often metallic tape."


    ISN'T LIGHTER MORE DIFFICULT?

    Yes and no. The first time you get to work with a polypro hoop it will feel light and a little strange. Give it about 30 minutes (or less) and you will be in LOVE! 
    Lighter hoops move faster than a heavier hoop and they are also a lot more responsive to your body movements.



    DO I NEED A SMALLER HOOP? CAN YOU TELL ME WHY?

    Polypro hoops are most optimal at a size of 36” or less. At 37” they tend to coil in on themselves due to the natural curve of the tubing. 
    A smaller hoop will allow you to do more off-body style tricks and give you more freedom of movement. Here's an article about big hoops vs. smaller hoops and yet another one that addresses the question What Hoop Size Do I Need?


    WAIT, WHAT’S 3/4” and 5/8” OD TUBING?

    This refers to the size of the tubing measured at its widest point. A ¾” hoop is the “standard” size that most people use. It is a very good hoop to get if you are just starting out with a polypro hoop. To give you an idea of the size of this tubing, I can fit my pointer finger in it.
    5/8", on the other hand, is only big enough for my pinky. 
    ...and now I have hoops stuck on both hands. :)

    A 5/8” hoop is going to be thinner, lighter, and a little more flexible. The people that buy these hoops are usually professional performers or someone that is very small and light. This would be closer to a kid's hoop size and weight.


    And now we will tell you about the Polypro Hoops that The Spinsterz offers

    Isolation Hoops

    In the world of flow and circus arts, isolation is a term used to describe the act of manipulating an object in space so that it gives the illusion that the object is hovering and in a fixed position while it is you who is moving around the object. Usually, it is the other way around, you move an object around yourself, much like when you are hooping on your waste. 

    Here's a video with one of our favorite isolation artists, Dustin Hubel
