WHY IS THIS THE RIGHT AERIAL HOOP FOR ME? This is the most versatile hoop. 1 point hoops, 2 point hoops, and 0 point hoops all serve important purposes depending on the moves and routines you have planned. A Shackle hoop can fit any of these roles using high strength steel shackles as your attachment points. The shackles lock securely and with no protruding pin to get in the way. A Shackle Hoop will allow you to rig as a 1-Point or 2-Point using soft rigging attached directly to the shackles. This reduces wear on metal components, reduces the amount of hardware needed, and looks clean. You can switch between 1 or 2 point configurations with only one hoop! You can rig without the shackles, like a 0-point hoop. Prodigy Aerial Hoops are made in the UK to exceptionally high safety standards. Prodigy Aerial Hoops come with a grippy matt powder coating that is durable and looks great. However, the bare powder coating can take while to warm up (like pole dancing poles)
