WAG finger holes to big on grips

[20gymnast13]

About a couple weeks ago I bought new grips and I love them. The only problem is the grips finger holes are WAY to big. Now I have to be taping my fingers every time I go on bars or the grips wont stay on. I was looking online and I saw a bunch of things (on here too) about tying a rubber band around the finger holes, but that just makes no sense the way they described it. Can anyone explain this to me better. like how do you tie it.

thanks, katie

Finger Wedgies

The funny thing is the people that make the wedgies live round the corner from my mum. She met them in the local tea room and did a clandestine purchase of wedgies and then mailed them to me.the world is small.

They will also mail to North America, the wedgies weigh nothing so it is pretty inexpensive.

Bog is your source then cause their shipping charges seem a bit steep - North American franchise Bog ?

it says that you can only wear the white ones for competitions, does that go for the united states to?

I got a better deal when mum mailed them. But even when. Called and ordered I got a way better deal than those rates.

i did contemplate a North American franchise, but Quebec has a border between it and the US and that would mean hefty shipping and duty costs. It is something that a US gym site shoud pick up as the product is so light and easy to ship.

I have the same problem with my grips and I just take a piece of pit foam and tear off a piece and stick it in the hole and then put my fingers in so that the holes are smaller. You can make the pit pieces bigger or smaller depending in how big the holes are.

You can buy them online at ginnasta. We haven't tried them, so I don't know if they work. Good luck!

At my gym it would be classed as vandalism if you started tearing bits off the foam in the pit. Big Trouble.
I think the wedges look better and work better.

This happens to me, so annoying! What I do is get some pre wrap and roll it up, then fold it in half and stick it in the holes so they are smaller. The wedgies look cool though!

send them back. the size is too big.

 

[20gymnast13]

I cant, there already broken in. I was stuck with tape for the past couple weeks.

next time order the next size down. if the holes are too big then so are the grips. simple rule.
