My feeling is with any skills at all, locking is totally unnecessary.
There are techniques of you want to hand out a "ring" as you know, don't run when you're not being chased. And locks can make your handling unnecessarily bothersome as well. My advice is stick to a standard set, and bug Owen a bit till you get a hold of them <grin> they sometimes not fast about return calls... Magically, Walt |

Yes the Owen 10" are hollow. The locking ring is not necessary but it does open for a few convincing presentations. I have owned a set of Owen 12" for a couple years and only last month bought the locking ring for a special routine and presentation. Part of it was just the completeness of the Owen set as one never knows when Owen will quit making these. I know of a few pros with the whole Owen set but have never known anyone that actually uses the locker in a routine. The locker is a bit knacky to do typical ring moves with and it is pricey at over $200 for just that ring.

I don't know, right now I don't have any set of linking rings As you can probably understand, it's hard for people to tell if you are giving advice based on having 3 sets of rings or 0 sets of rings.

I really like my Pro-LIne rings, they look and sound great, and the price is good. They make a locking ring too. As others have said, you don't need the locking ring,

I have a question,
didn't Owens use to make solid 10" rings? and another question is who else makes solid 10" rings? Darren.. |

Not sure if Owen used to make 10" solid rings but Klamm makes a 10" solid that is pretty decent for $88. They are solid steel and nickle plated with seemless welds. I banged on a set of 12" Klamm rings for awhile without any chipping or breaking.
