my Hoop

This is my banged up hoop I've been using since last year. It is now my beater hoop. Its been crashed against walls, glass shelves, pottery and plants as I was learning tricks. Its been chipped and smacked by people at parties and is showing it. So you can see how well they hold up. There is worse damage in places and areas that are better off. This hoop started out weighing more but I think I took some of the water out. It now weighs 1lb 4 oz. It's the hoop size and weight I always come back to. I will use a larger diameter one sometimes at the very beginning of learning a new trick and I'm now working with the more expert small light ones which are really hard for chest hooping for me. This seems like a good weight for progressing intermediate level hoopers. Diameter 37.5"
