FutureHoop Shuffle

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. The FutureHoop comes with x3 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and a charger. Use only ONE rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the hoop at a time. 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.

Our standard LED hoops are typically made with 3/4" HDPE tubing, which offers excellent durability and flexibility. At the moment, 3/4" HDPE is temporarily out of stock, but 3/4" Polypro is still available in all colors. If you're looking for HDPE, our 5/8" HDPE option is still available and shipping as usual.

Polypro is lighter and stiffer than HDPE, offering a snappier feel and quicker response. While its rigid structure gives it a different kind of feedback during flow, polypro is more prone to cracking if bent too far, used for more fast-paced or aggressive hooping style, or if the tubing swiftly impacts a hard surface. This is especially true in colder temperatures, particularly with LED hoops due to the added weight of electronic components.

That said, many hoopers still enjoy polypro LED hoops for their crisp responsiveness and lightweight handling. Our current polypro options include clear and translucent colors: Lilac (purple), Blush (pink), Dew (green), and Aqua (blue).

Will 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 more prone to cracking 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 bare tubing, but can be lightly sanded or have a layer of hoop wax added along the inner ring of the hoop for extra grip. Moodhoops Hoop Wax is a lightweight, removable and transparent alternative to sanding or taping your hoop. Hoop wax is clear and doesn’t transfer to your clothes or skin.

Extra hoop wax can be reapplied to keep up the grip. Add-on extra Hoop Wax so you can add more grip and reapply! Rub vigorously along the inner ring of your hoop to create a textured surface. Please make sure you want to keep the hoop before sanding the tubing.

*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.
