About Our Hoops Home → About Our Hoops

Troo Hoops are made by Brian Dube, Inc, a world known leader in the manufacture of juggling equipment since 1975. We at Dube Juggling have leveraged all we know of design and manufacturing from our 34 year history, taking advantage of industrial grade materials and technologies to get every detail right.

Our Quattro and Pocket Hoops are collapsible with an easy to use snap button system. They are made from a heavy duty polyethylene tubing (in two weights: heavy sport or extra light dance) which gives them the weight and strength modern hoopers require. Choose from 3 hoop diameters—see chart below for sizing help. Our tapes have been manufactured with a special adhesive that allows clean removal—important for redecorating hoops.

SIZE & WEIGHT
  • Large 42" hoops have a slower rotation and are easier to start. Recommended for taller or less experienced customers.
  • Medium 39" are the most versatile. Great for beginners and intermediate hoopers.
  • Small 36" hoops have a faster rotation and are better for a cardio workout. Recommended for children, hoopers under 4'6", or advanced hoop dancers & performers.
Sport Weight
Sport Weight recommended for most hoopers, particularly ones interested in a workout. The additional weight makes the hoop easier to control and keep level. Ideal for toning your core/abs.
Available in all sizes / 21-28oz
 

Extra Light Dance Weight
Recommended for hoop dancers and children. Great for upper body and off the body tricks.
Available in all sizes / 15-22oz

Quattro (4-piece collapsible)  vs Pocket (8-piece collapsible)

Our best value collapsible hoop, the Quattro Hoop is constructed with four sections of tubing that disconnect via button snaps into four convenient pieces that fit inside our hoop bag. While the regular assembled diameters are sized for full body hooping and a focus on your core, the Quattro hoops can be assembled using only 3 of the 4 sections to create a smaller hoop -- great for arm hooping, isolations or small kids!

Our ultra-portable collapsible hoop, the Pocket Hoop is constructed with eight sections of tubing that disconnect via button snaps into eight convenient pieces that fit inside our hoop bag AND inside carry-on luggage or tote bags. While the regular assembled diameters are sized for full body hooping and a focus on your core, the Pocket hoops can be assembled using only 6 or 7 sections to create a smaller hoop -- great for arm hooping, isolations or small kids! The extra sections add a little extra weight, so the Pocket is even better for core exercise than the Quattro.

Decoration

Troo Hoops are available in four styles featuring one to five cloth or prism tapes. The final (top) layer of tape on each hoop is always cloth, for superior grip when hooping. Our graphics and computer experts have created a custom decorator that allows you to customize a hoop online and see the results onscreen. Then just add to cart and all your specifications are automatically saved and transmitted to our order and production departments. If you prefer a more personalized hoop, we also sell Do-It-Yourself Hoops and rolls of tape, so you can decorate the hoop however you please.

Maintenance

Store your hoop collapsed and flat, or assembled hung on a hook or nail, to avoid warping (especially important in hot weather). Decorative hoop tapes will wear over time and may eventually require replacement. Hooping over rough surfaces (concrete) will greatly reduce the lifespan of the tape. Hooping over grass, sandy beaches, smooth floors, or carpet is recommended. Minor tears and fraying can be fixed with clear nail polish or glue. For more serious cosmetic problems, we sell rolls of replacement tape. Other problems may be covered by warranty. Give us a call and we’ll do our best to solve the problem.
