There are a bunch of options for gymnastic rings on the market. A simple search on Amazon will turn up a couple hundred options ranging from plastic to metal to wooden, and with a pretty wide range in pricing. Here’s a short arguing of the pros and cons of each, and what we recommend.
Plastic Rings
Still, starting out with a plastic pair is perfectly fine, but you may need to upgrade to a sturdier option when you move into more advanced rings work down the line.This is the cheapest and most widely available option. However, their light weight can feel less supportive in some exercises and are less comfortable on your hands and wrists than wood.
Metal Rings
There aren’t too many metal rings on the market, but you can find them if you look for them specifically.
The biggest benefit of metal rings is they are SOLID – you don’t have to worry about them bending or breaking. The biggest drawback is they are quite rough on the hands. You can wrap them in some sort of tape to help with that, but you’ll just have to decide what you’re most comfortable with.
Wooden Rings
They tend to be the most expensive option, but they’re by far the best way to go in terms of comfort and durability.
Whatever material and brand you choose for your rings, just make sure the straps are adjustable and long enough to accommodate your space and setup.
Rings were enssentialy developed in germany they were called Roman rings due to their origins in Italy. They were referred as Ringeschwebel in 1842, originally introduced as a swinging apparatus, known as the "flying rings." These were triangular shaped. Some later circular rings replaced the original version. Skill work on gymnastic rings integrates strength and coordination training in a way that’s much harder to achieve with other equipment. I think that it's important to choose the perfect material and space for the rings to feel confortoble
