WHY CHOOSE COMPETITION GYMNASTIC RINGS BY FRINGE SPORT?
Gymnastic rings come in a variety of different materials and styles; here's why your next pair should be from Fringe Sport:
- Wood - These are made with incredibly strong Birch which is CNC'd and sanded to exact specifications to ensure the least variance and highest quality product.
- Diameter - 28mm diameter rings are perfect for gymnastics movements. 32mm diameter rings provide extra girth that helps when working on functional fitness or heavier strength training movements like ring muscle-ups.
- Texture - The feel of our competition wood gymnastic rings is something that cannot really be described except that it is so much more pleasant than anything else. It is great with or without chalk and simply feels natural and as if it were meant to be.
- Portability - By using Birch, we are able to create rings that were even lighter than plastic, which makes these the ultimate travel companions no matter where you go.
- Strength and Durability - Don't let the price fool you; these rings are built to last and withstand the toughest WODs or your money back.
HOW CAN YOU CHOOSE THE GYMNASTIC RING SET THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Gymnastic rings are sold in many different materials, each with its own benefits and shortcomings. Here are the brief highlights about each material:
PVC gymnastic rings are the lowest price and can actually be made at home. They are not a complete ring/circle and as such tend to lose form and are less durable than the other materials.
Plastic gymnastics rings are very reasonably priced, only slightly more expensive than PVC. Even so, they are many times more durable and stronger than PVC. They are a complete ring (and thus have the natural strength of the circle) and can be texturized in many different ways. They tend to be very lightweight and with all these benefits at such a low cost, are the best value in our opinion.
Steel gymnastic rings are much more durable and stronger still than plastic but this comes at a much higher price. They are also complete rings and do tend to need chalk or take otherwise they will rip up your hands.
Wood gymnastics rings tend to offer the best features. They are the lightest, have a good texture that doesn't need chalk, are still very durable and strong, and they are a complete circle, of course. However, these features usually come at an even higher cost still, a factor that puts them out of reach of most people's budgets. These rings, though, are the most affordable wood rings on the market and in our opinion the best workout rings available.
