On our team we have a gymnast who has EXTREMELY sweaty hands and feet. It is so bad that if she stands on the mat in one place to long she leaves a puddle. The problem is on bars. We always have her put chalk on before her turn and even sometimes in the middle of her turn but after doing one pullover her hands have no chalk on them and the bar is all slick. She is terrified to do a windmill because of her sweaty hands. So far everything we've tried has not worked well. We've tried lots of chalk(just sweated off), honey(sweated off before she even got to the bar), and little grips made out of tape(has worked best so far, but still has problems). Any suggestions, comments, personal experience, or anything is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
