DD is 7 going to level 4 and just got her first pair of grips yesterday. She measured exactly in between sizes (biggest size for an XS and smallest for a S). so I got the smaller size thinking they would stretch some. In looking at them I did think they looked a little small, she couldn't grip the bar very well, seemed like the dowel was too far down her finger. Her coach also thought they were a little small. The problem is that while wearing the next size up (teammate had one and she tried it on and did a glide) she can fully extend her hand and I always thought that was a no-no. I'm willing to buy two sizes to let her try both, I'm just worried if they are too big or too small she will peel from the bar while learning to jump to the high bar or something. Here are some pictures of her hanging on the bar. These are just the XS. Going to try to get pics of the S in the morning.
