FutureHoop Comparison Guide

How Can We Help?

You are here:

For most hoopers, the original FutureHoop Pro/Remote is a great choice. FutureHoop Designer is for hoopers who want total control and programmability. Unlike the original Futurehoop, Designer lets you upload custom patterns and unlock new features as we release them.

You can plug Designer into any OSX/Windows/Linux computer with a USB port and it will show up like a flash drive so you can copy patterns and update files onto it.

*Hoop sizes are measured by the Outer Diameter (OD). This measurement is taken across the widest part of the hoop, including the width of the tubing.

Futurehoop Shuffle and Futurehoop Remote come with 2-point counterbalancing by default. Futurehoop Pro is 3-point counterbalanced due to the 3 internal batteries.
