My daughter got some Reisport Dowel Handguards last year (head coach measured her for them and ordered them), she got the smallest size 00, since getting them 10 months ago she cannot manage to do her moves, all she is trying to do is a back hip circle from a cast, she said the handguards bend (as in to big and a bulge appears) when trying to do this skill, she cannot even manage to do it with a spot (she could do it just fine without handguards), my daughters hands haven't really grown in that time and she still measures 13cm from wrist to tip of her finger. The head coach has rechecked the had guards and also my daughters coach and they said put foam in the finger holes while wearing the guards..
Does it make sense to keep wearing these handguards as she struggles to hang on to the bar with circling skills, she is fine with straddle undershoot dismounts and just about OK with pullovers. Would it make more sense to revert back to Palm Guards as her hands are so small for her age, or does she need to find a way to get past this and wear the Dowel Hand Guards?
