wow denise, that's great you've come this far so fast....i am new at this so prehaps one of the experienced members has some "expert advice"....But here is what I found works for me.

for starters part of the issue might just be inexperience..i like neck hooping but it works best when i have a fast rotation going..and it felt weird at first.. like being choked (think wetsuit) and was uneasy i'd hurt myself...but like any thing you want to do, i had to overcome those "fears" and that came w/ practise., the more familiar and comfortable i got w/ should chest hooping, neck hooping became a natural porgression.

I also started neck hooping before i was solid w/ shoulder and chest hooping, cause it allowed me to stick my arm thru and get the hoop down..but as i recall, there was quite a bit of wobbling going on, mainly because of inexperience w/ technique.

I find that the more i lean back (from the hips) , with my neck back the better control i have w/ the rotation and the easier it is to remove the hoop off the neck, if i am just standing neck hooping it is easier, but if i want to use it as a transition move, i have to be turning. and, like most tricks, the opposite direction has been a more challenging and not as comfortable.

good luck...it's great you've come so far so fast.

i also practise just neck hooping, starting it around my neck, always w/ a gentle toss...i prefer the medium size hoop..i still use 160 psi for most of my hooping, but as suggested, a lighter hoop might help, though it may take longer to nail should and chest hooping...

just my experience from a toddler here....
