FutureHoop Shuffle

FutureHoop Shuffle uses dynamic Modes that shuffle continuously, each with a consistent theme. The vibrant color palettes and drawing modes are randomly generated so each dance with your FutureHoop is both familiar and refreshing.

Changing to the next Mode is as easy as turning the hoop off and then on again. The modes use a color-coded blink at startup so you know which mode you’re in. No tiny switches, no elaborate menus, just pick up your FutureHoop and begin to flow 💖

 

6 Special Modes:

 

• Motif (blinks pink) – Inspired by traditional art motifs with a splash of 8-bit iconography. Multi-layers of colors display dimensional patterns in bold colors with a random chance for a hypnotic chaser layer over the pattern.
• Spiral (blinks green) – Waveforms displayed over the swooping playspace of your hoop create mind bending visuals with high-speed points of light.
• Iso (blinks purple) – Color shifting chasers appear to freeze and hover as you perform isolations or spinning tosses. The chaser layer and background layer breathe in and out while swapping colors and speeds.
• Galaxy (blinks white) – This meditative rippling rainbow stasis mode gives your eyes a rest and allows for more flow focused dancing. The gentle color shifting rainbow uses low power and is great for chill spaces and conserving power while walking around.
• Pop (blinks blue) – Bold, geometric blocks of strobing colors create the illusion of multiple hoops being spun.
• Pixie (blinks aqua) – A single fast-moving, color-shifting chaser.

The removable battery design lets you easily switch to a fresh battery so you can glow all night or as long as you have extra batteries on hand. In a 5/8 hoop, the battery creates a small light gap in the LED strip where the battery is housed. In a 3/4 hoop, the battery slides under the LEDs so there is no light gap. FutureHoop Shuffle comes with x4 rechargeable 10440 (AAA size) lithium-ion batteries and a charger. Use only ONE rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the hoop at a time. We can custom-build removable-battery 3/4 hoops to use larger 14500 (AA size) batteries for extra battery life at the expense of an LED gap. Most customers prefer no LED gap, but if you prefer your FutureHoop to use 14500s contact us and we'll be happy to build it for you. It’s best to keep your batteries charged in between hooping sessions so you can pick up and play whenever you want. If you know you won't be using your hoop for many months it's ok to store at half charge. Don't leave lithium-ion batteries at near-zero charge for extended periods, and avoid storing them in hot places like a car or direct sunlight. Regardless of care, li-ion batteries will lose some capacity over time. It’s best to keep your battery in good shape to extend the glow time it can give back to you.

We recommend HDPE tubing as the default option for LED hoops. Since LED hoops have batteries and weighted internals, the lightness of polypro is not as noticeable from an HDPE LED hoop made in the same size. HDPE tubing is naturally a more flexible material and absorbs impacts well. Polypro tubing is stiffer, giving it a different kind of feedback during hoop play. However, polypro tubing is more brittle in comparison, and prone to cracking on impacts or when extremely flexed. The added weight of LEDs, batteries, weighted internals only increases the chance of the tubing cracking. Polypro is extra susceptible to cracking in cold temperatures. Does the tubing color affect the lights? When the hoop is in mid to high speed motion the tubing color difference is almost indistinguishable. When the hoop is moving slower you can see that the tubing is different and may notice a slight tint. The color difference will be the most notable when the hoop is on an all white setting. 5/8″ hoops are light, bouncy, and fun, but it’s good to think about what kind of hooping style you’d like to use with the hoop when choosing both the thickness and material of the tubing. 3/4″ hoops are made with thicker tubing that is slightly heavier, but also sturdier, and considerably less flexible than 5/8″ hoop tubing. If you like to hoop with a faster or more aggressive hooping style, the thicker 3/4″ tubing may be the best option to keep up with faster paced flow.

Fast breaks and reversals in 5/8 can cause the shape of the hoop to become warped, or the tubing can become over extended and kink. If also in polypro, the tubing is likely to crack from the stress. Kinked and cracked tubing is not covered by the warranty, so take extra care when selecting your hoop tubing options.

The FutureHoop Shuffle comes with a layer of hoop wax to provide a clear and amazing layer of grip. Extra hoop wax can be reapplied to keep up the grip. Hoop wax is clear and doesn’t transfer to your clothes or skin.

*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.
