The one I've bought yesterday that is easier is this one from Argos:
argos.co.uk
It's a metal bar covered in foam

Having the right weighted and sized hoop makes so much difference.

Hooping on the Wii is still hooping, I assume, RevB

Got the hoop that GM recommended - it's huge! Definitely garden only I think.

Managed about 10 mins, but need some new moves! Will check out a few videos :-)
