As the name suggests Palm Spin is a hula hoop trick where the hoop spins on your flat open hand before catching it and moving on to the next trick. You can do this trick vertically or horizontally, above your head or on your side. An easy trick that will allow a graceful transition between two harder tricks in a combo and allows a break to think and prepare for the next trick.

Most hoopers will find this trick to be quite easy using their strong hand, however if you want to challenge yourself give it a go using your weak hand.

To learn the Palm Spin you should first learn the Hand Spin. The two tricks are very similar in look and execution but the difference between them is that in Hand Spin the hoop spins around your hand but in Palm Spin the hoop spins around itself touching the open palm of your hand.
