Review: Mr Babache Reverso Rings
February 15th, 2009 | Posted by JH
For the price of one, you get TWO colors with these rings.

These are 32cm rings and weigh 100g. These rings come with white on one side and a choice of blue, green, orange, red or yellow on the other. These are basically one-colored rings with white painted on a side so there’s no worries about them splitting apart. However, this also means that the rings are thinner and are more likely to cut into your hands when you’re just starting out with them. Also, I personally found them too thin to be doing stationary spins with where one ring is spinning vertically on the other.
At the size and weight, they’re impossible to play with outdoors. The slightest breeze can set them offtrack and pancakes or numbers juggling is almost impossible on an open field. These shouldn’t be the rings you’ll want to practise new moves or learn to juggle with. Because one side’s painted on, it’s very susceptible to chips and scratches. The paint on mine rubbed off after a short session on marble flooring. It’d probably be a lot worse if you’re juggling on rough surfaces.
Dual-colored rings are great for tricks where you want attention to be focused on one ring or for tricks done in profile-view. 32cm is just nice for them to fit over your head as well so these are really the optimal size they should be. Despite the sub-par paint job, I’d really recommend these over single-colored rings of the same size. At £2.90 each, these are cheap and there’s definitely more that can be done with them than their single-colored counterparts.
