Disclaimer - we are in Australia so the choices are limited!!
We have been asked to get proper grips now they are starting to do giants. Coach prefers buckle but doesn't mind which type. DD not quite 10YO weighs 32Kg is L5 training L6/7 (so L4 in the USA - we are around one level below)
DD claims to not like anything on her hands and is worried about loosing her hard fought for kip! So after a bit of research here I'm looking at Ginnasta USA double buckle, but the only option in Australia is for the wide palm (they don't stock narrow). Alternatively we can get single buckle US Glove Hot Shots in the narrow palm.
So what would be better for her? Is narrow palm that much narrower? She has rather broad palms compared to her friend and the Reisport ones we tried at the gym left around 1cm each side of her palms? Is this enough to still feel the bar? She rarely rips.
Or should I just bite the gymnastic bullet and get both types! Of course from two different online suppliers so double the post - ugh!
Or doesn't it matter that much and she'll get used to whatever I get?
Thanks for any help
