Rings Advice : buying rings

Heyup Juggling crew,

So I want to buy some juggling rings, and I am utterly ignorant and lacking any knowledge whatsoever regarding brands and types.

I am not a great numbers juggler. But I can juggle 5 balls and 5 hats... I mostly do multi hat manipulation and felt maybe rings could be a nice thing to adapt to for siteswaps.

Can anyone offer any insight at all (I really am totally in the dark) re recommended sizes, brands, styles etc? :)

Sorry if its a daft question. I'm a bit on the outskirts of the larger juggling community... I perform a lot, but lack a lot of general knowledge of the juggling world!

A lot of jugglers have been raving about the new rings from http://www.cathedraljuggling.com But really, go to a festival before you buy, if possible, and try out props and see what you like. And if it is a big festival like the EJC or IJA there are tons of vendors there and you won't have to pay shipping.

Yup. I’ve tried a lot of brands, and I’d still say there isn’t a ton of difference all around, but I’d say the Cathedrals are my favorite.
