Is this a 'weighted' hoop?

No its not and it's really hard to use its real thick I wish it was thinner then it would be a lot easier to use had bought it to practice was taking a hoop fit class at my local ymca

100% yes and this is how I use mine ! I keep my camera tight on the MF's head and loop my hand threw the hoop and adjust the length to a good height. This also has a formidable weight, strength and distance for warding off other annoyances !

I don't think so, but if it is, it's barely so, I could not tell you if it was the hoop or the ground itself - I keep it on my driveway and occasionally on the street, and the grade in both areas would make it slant forward slightly.

You can, but don't hang on it. Mine has fallen in the pool due to a 90 pound boy hanging on it. The hoop is fine, as are the boys. Awesome hoop. Must have.

Yes, the rim is mounted with a coiled spring, but I wouldn't try any breakaway dunks on the hoop.

No, it is not weighted. I have a small cat and he still manages to knock it all over the place.

Yes it is. It is pretty heavily weighted down as I use it in our rv for hard to reach items. Great addition to our galley.

No, there needs to be weight to hold the hoop up. You need to use sand or water in the base.

This is a regular hoola hoop. A hoola hoop used for fun. Hope that answers your question.

Exactly like me and I ordered the 42" . I would of rather buy the smaller one but I've come to master lots of tricks with this one too. I want one in every size now. Weighted hoola hoops are the best!

You can lower hoop but that's it. Taking it apart would be a pain - it is a solid (heavy) hoop.

No. I had to throw mine away after it came apart every time I tried to use it. Don't even bother with this poorly designed hoop! Left messages with customer service unreturned.

It is weighted pretty heavily, but does wobble some. A mat under it helps some, but not much. Good for practicing only the most basic maneuvers - pullovers, etc., but not for anything advanced. We purchased it a couple of years ago for our grandchildren and they are already outgrowing it. Current ages: Boy age 8, Level 5 & Girl age 11, Level 5.

I don't know I got it for my friend for christmas and she hasn't used it yet. I think if you look more into the ben wa balls you could find probably heavier weights.

I am not sure. I didn't try to do that. looking at it now, it may work, but you should check out the smaller hoop that they sell. it is really for children and is a bit over 2 pounds. I would think if you could change the diameter, it would have told you that in the directions, but that was not mentioned.

The Ball feels like it has a more thick consistency, but isn't heavy. It stays inflated better than ones I have purchased from Target. I really don't feel like it is weighted. (I don't think it is heavy when picking it up)

I have dunked several times. I actually weight 165 so it works good. I would definitely recommend following the directions on cementing in the pole. That is the strength of it. The rim is of good quality though. If there is problems you do have a warranty with it. One of the net clips fell off after my first month and I called it in to Lifetime (the maker) and they shipped me a brand new rim. Love it.
