That is the one that I have. They spin you so that you can practice your figure skating spins while you are off the ice. And yes, they are VERY helpful.

I'm not too familiar with Super Glide, but I have a spinner. It's ok to use for balancing and getting rid of dizziness, however, my main problem on the ice is the spin entry and centering it while on the edge. That can't be helped by spinner much.
