    Grip strength is good, although our gym doesn't have a rope. I always stand between/under the bars to catch, so she's never been injured; just afraid. Generally the peel happens after a few tap swings in a row. Thank you all so much for the insight!

    Hello!

    I had previously been online here at CB as another user, but it's been years since I used the account and I no longer remember the username nor the password. That merits a re-introduction! I'm a temporarily retired artistic Canadian gymnast (although I am now trying to train whenever possible)...
