My DD got grips about 5-6 weeks ago. She just finished her second year at old 4 and will be competing new 4 this season. Bars is her strongest event, she's had the bar routine down, complete with straight arm kips, for over a year now. Is close to cast handstand, sort of has a clear hip and is doing giants on strap bar with a spot. Anyways. She hates her grips, I kept telling her to tough it out through the summer, assuming she would get used to them, but it's not getting any better. Her coach told her yesterday to stop using them because she is so much better without them. Right choice? Or is this just going to cause bigger problems down the road?
