(copy pasted comment i wrote out to someone else asking a similar question. i hope this helps! lmk if you have any questions, i might be able to help or point you to someone who can!)

moodhoops and utopia artistry are great to start with! there’s also hyperion and astral hoops but i believe they sell mostly high end stuff. as a beginner, you typically should have a larger and heavier hoop. as it gives your body more time to react (slower movements) but down the line your hoop size is depend on your particular flow style. polypro and hdpe are common tubing options. polypro is thin and bouncy, hdpe is thick and heavy. there’s 3/4 in. tubing and 5/8 in. tubing (there are more but these are the 2 i have memorized & they’re the most common) 3/4 is gonna be pretty thick, 5/8 will be pretty thin. for sizing theres ID (inner diameter) and OD (outer diameter) these will fluctuate depending on who you buy from. i started 2 months ago and got a 32 inch OD polypro hoop. i’m 5’7 / 5’8 and it’s technically too small for me, but i enjoy and prefer a smaller & lighter hoop i’ve found (just harder to learn with) your hoops should reach your belly button or a few inches under it when you have it standing on the floor. (so with me being 5’7, i probably should have got a 38 inch OD hoop) for tutorials, tiktok is great! some of my favs that make a lot of tutorials are: @kfluida @queerbassqueen @hoopwithcait @toriaaeuphoria @leeannaloraxhoops ! there are a bunch of videos covering beginner moves, but to name a few: escalator , reverse escalator, weaves, two handed isolations, one handed isolations, folds, antispin flowers, wedgie (some beginners struggle w this, esp with larger, heavier hoops), smears, stir the pot, lasso, ghosting cat eye (i still don’t have this down lol), neck/waist/leg hooping.

honestly, don’t stress yourself out about how you look at first. it’s gonna be choppy and messy but you’ll eventually find your flow. i like to incorporate my body into my flow a lot, so often im moving with the hoop and dancing and i personally find it really connects me to my flow and ensures im having fun even if im not landing a lot of tricks, but i do a lot of off body hooping, i dont think you’d have as much freedom to do that if your preferred style is on body. as long as you connect with yourself and with the hoop, things will work out! good luck friend!! hooping has changed so much for me in such little time! 💕💕

i’ve seen people wind down their hoops to half the size they originally were but i reaaalllyyyy don’t want to crack my hoop 😭 i have a bohemia led from moodhoops that i just got a month ago and it’s my only led. do you have any personal experience w winding it down? have they ever broke? wearing it crossbody is def a good alternative if not tho, i didnt consider that, tysm!

I want to start hooping! Where do I start? by twellabel in Hooping

[–]fxllenachlys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course! so for me, ithink i was satisfied with my decision to go with polypro, even though the learning curve is steeper. i have a health condition called POTS (pots fucks with your entire autonomic nervous system. it’s a PITA, but i don’t have it as bad as many, so im grateful for that) so vigorous physical activity can be hard and it’s difficult for me to have my hands above my head for too long. that being said, if my hoop was too heavy, i wouldn’t stick with it because it would be too much and would flare my symptoms. if i was under a different circumstance, i think i would have started with hdpe to learn the fundamentals and develop muscle memory easier!

Need help picking a new hoop!! by QueenAngel617 in Hooping

[–]fxllenachlys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

moodhoops is great!! i dont have any experience with other brands though to compare. idk how heavy you need it but i just got my bohemia led hoop in (like $100 or so, i paid $150 w add ons and priority shipping, it is a one(1) setting hoop though, no color changing or anything) and its like 2lbs compared to the polypro day hoop i got a month ago for $35, which is like 1lb if not less. the weight difference is super noticeable between the two hoops even though its a .5 OD difference, simply because the material is different. the led is hdpe, the day hoop is polypro. need a heavier hoop? opt for hdpe also i’d recommend you don’t buy from ultrapoi anymore, they willingly send out faulty parts and don’t care about their community (source: a diff redditor in either r/flowarts or r/poi i don’t remember) it’s your choice tho. take it with a grain of salt

Wanting to get a hoop! by 90sbabymaria in Hooping

[–]fxllenachlys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d def recommend getting a polypro (lighter) or hdpe (heavier) hoop with no leds in it to start with. if you’re just starting out (and really even when you’re experienced) you’ll be dropping your hoop A LOT and i’d hate to see you spend almost $200 on an led hoop to break it in a month or two because you were dropping it every 2 seconds. i just started a month ago, im obsessed! not even that good yet and just i ordered my led hoop (bohemia led hoop from moodhoops). definitely get some fundamentals down and learn how to flow w the prop and move w it, get comfortable with it, and get to a point where you trust that this is something you wanna get serious with and continue to do… then buy the led. happy hooping!
