I have tried both and prefer the magna hoop. The snap hoop slips super easy. however they have a new monster hoop that grips stronger but you have to purchase it in addition to the snap hoop. The magna hoop is what you are going to use instead of sticky stabilizer or when you don't want hoop burn, it is not for every situation, but I tried it at a seminar and like it, but as someone said regular hoops are better and the magna hoop is not actually a hoop but an accessory for a hoop you already have. Hope this helps
