At what height do you recommend the larger hoop? I'm 5'6

The top of the hoop should reach your navel , if it is higher than that it is too large from what i understand. I am also a begginer.

I'm 5'6 as well and I got the larger hoop, thinking I'm average or slightly above-average in height. I really like it. It is quite big but I find it very easy to use.

I'm no expert but my wife got the smaller one which is perfect for her (5' 4"). I have tried it (5' 8") and it is fine. I can't imagine its being a problem for someone who is 5' 6".

I'm 5'2 and I thought the large was to big ,I called the co and they told me that was the right size being a beginner ...!!!

I got the large hoop and I'm 5'4! I have had it for a few months and still can't get it put together. Not worth it for me.

I am shorter and it's a good hoop for beginners who want to practice waist hooping. It's not a good size if you are planning on doing off body moves unless you have a huge space to practice in. I did not have trouble putting it together I used a hair dryer on the end and twisted two ends together.

I'm 5'5" and it's goof for me. Also, my niece who is 5'8" finds it a good fit. It may be overwhelming for folks shorter than 5'5" but should work well for your height.

Jennifer, this was my response to someone else regarding the required height. He had a little more head room than you but it appears you have enough for the frame to fit. High arching shots might be a problem for you but honestly the kids don't tend to arch the ball much higher than the frame itself."As it sits assembled, mine stands at 80" (6'-8") at it's highest point. The rim is 18" (1'-6) below that highest point. On really high arching shots you might hit your ceiling but in my opinion you'd be fine as most shots would never go that high.

Yes small adult 38 is perfect especially for a beginner and as you learn you can get a wider and heavier hoop. Im 5'4 1/2 and 138lbs and the bigger hoop is a little bit too wide for me.

I am 5'5" tall. I purchased a 220 cm paddle. Paddle performs well for me. If I were to buy another paddle, I would purchase a 230 cm.

We use an old broom stick for adjusting the height. I'm just under 6ft tall and have no problems raising or lowering the hoop/backboard.

I am 5'2", use the ball for leg excercises. My daughter is 5'9" and my husband is 6' and they both use the higher ball for back and body.

3 feet or more clearance above the rim I recommend, but in this case that would bring the hoop down to 4.5 ft with your ceiling height. You could get away with 2.5 ft, but most shots would need to be closer to the rim

I would get the larger size. I am 5ft 4 and it's just right, but I think for a taller person, it would be too small.

I'm also 5'6", and there is no way that I can get on this bicycle.But it is well made, and pretty even.I gave it away. These things are dangerous unless you're about 6 feel tall!Jerry O

I would go up. I am 5'5" and I have the 54 cm. It is a little tall, but it works well for me. For someone 5'11", I know it would be a little small. I would get the 58.

I'm 5'6". The small 16" frame fits me almost perfectly. If you can it would be wise to go to a bike shop and sit on a few frames.

I'm 5'4 and 18inch is just perfect for me. My best guess would be for you to try both size at a local store. Or you can check online for size charts : it will tell you the recommended bicycle frame height according to your height. Under 5'4 = they recommend 18 inches

This is one of the best, I would recommend it to you. However since you are 5'6" you may want to look for the 18".

I would get a bigger one. You could probably use this one for a year or two. It's not that sturdy if they wanted to slam dunk and hang on the rim. If it's just for occasional shooting practice and you also have younger kids you might get a little more use out of it.

I am 6'2" and the 60 inch dolica would do just as well. the center post extends up quite a bit.

I'm 6 foot 2 inches and about 290. It rides smooth for me. I haven't owned it for a long time, however, I think if I don't bounce up and down on it and act like a ding dong it should hold up. The biggest challenge for tall people would be the cross bar. If you don't time it right and bring the bar back down first before you move forward your knees won't clear. Not a big deal. Just have to maintain your form.

I would get the longer one. I'm 5'6" and need every inch of the long one. You can't go shorter but you can always work with longer.
