I believe the dowel size is different as well, since the bars are different sizes.

 

[JBS]

High bar grips = 3 finger holes...small dowel
Ring grips = 2 finger holes...large dowel
Uneven bar grips = 2 finger holes...small dowel

The way they are sized onto the gymnasts hands are different also...this is due to the differences in the various apparatus.

Here is a bunch of info...
