hype Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 hi guys,So I want to buy gymnastic rings, and I wanted to know what dimensions should I be buying?I want standard rings like the xtreme, same dimensions. So what length of strap, diameter, etc. do I have to take? And also, what material is best? (Wood, metal, etc.?) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Burnham Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Wood is best feel. Plastic is more durable. Metal is pretty bad in my opinion. Doesn't hold chalk well and gets slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Douglas Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Next pair I buy will probably be wood.Make sure the straps are long enough for handstands (remember they are doubled over when hanging) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Macdonald Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Next pair I buy will probably be wood. When you do, be sure to update us on your profile with the following status: "I've got wood!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Dano Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 For dimensions, only buy rings that are FIG spec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Macdonald Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I tried wooden rings at the Copenhagen seminar, the difference in grip is night and day vs metal rings. False grip work on wooden rings is so much easier. I may need to get wood myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
