    Parents Grips! for small people

    and wristbands! I have reviewed a few of the grip threads about sweaty hands and the excellent break down of grips, but I was curious if anyone has any brands that they have found better for girls with really tiny hands. My daughter, been using US glove but she is super super tiny. I mean...

    MAG Grips for sweaty hands?

    Tl;dr: For my own curiosity, has anyone else had a kid need to use grips for sweaty hands? Pros/cons? I posted this on FB in a men's gymnastics group, but all the answers focused on the sweating or whether they thought it was too early for grips... which isn't my question. So, I'm trying...

    WAG Are finger tips from new grips normal?

    I just got new grips and on my first day of using them/ breaking them in I got a rip on my finger where the finger hole is. I have never had this issue before with my old grips and none of my teammates have before either. Is it normal to get rips from grips, just new grips, or is this a problem...

    Parents Grips brands

    Has anyone tried these grips? They're a lot softer than other grips so my daughter won't try them I thought they'd be better for not going her rips is there a down side to them being soft? Is it weird? https://leviero.com/

    WAG Grips

    So I am an excel gymnast and at my gym, you get grips when you get to Gold. I am practicing giants and flyaways and a lot of swinging movement. For, my team we have a brand that all my teammates have which is Bailie Dowel grips. Which is better velcro or buckles, if buckles single or double buckle?

    Parents Ugh! New grips!

    So my daughter just replaced her first pair of grips. She had the older pair for about three years. They are still in pretty good shape but she feels like they might be a bit too small- but not terrible . Her first pair were single buckle. The new pair are double buckle. She hates them right...

    Parents Kip before grips vs now

    My 8 year old level 4 had her kip before she got grips. She got it about a month before grips. Now that she has grips, she can’t do her kip anymore. She blames the grips but she won’t tell the coach. She is very shy. Should I wait it out or email the coach to see if she can do bars without...

    WAG Too small grips??

    I just got new grips yesterday night and I’m starting to think they are too small. My hands are 5.9 inches and I ordered size 1. Size 1 was a 6 1/8”. What should I do? It’s my first pair of grips.

    WAG Pausing to fix grips after each kip

    My daughter will pause and adjust her grips every time after kip on both low bar and high bar. Every time! She said they don't feel right but of course she can't do this in a meet. The coach hasn't provided any help. Ideas?

    WAG Grips Sizing Question

    I think I know the answer to this but just don't like it. My daughter got her first pair of grips a few months ago and she likes the brand/style. I need to order her a backup pair, because having only one with meet season approaching makes me nervous. The thing is though, that the measurements...

    WAG Adult Gymnastics? Grips? Rips?

    Hi all! First time poster, long time lurker here. I just recently got into adult (still not sure if I’m an adult though haha) gymnastics after doing years of rec gym as a kid. I know there are a million and one threads on healing rips so they’re good to go on bars again, but how do you care for...

    Parents Grips and 10.0 wristbands

    1. My L5 gymmie has outgrown her grips. Coach confirms that they are too small but does not have any particular recommendation as to style. She is around 75 lbs and not yet working giants on the real bar. Should she size up in pixie single buckle grips or is it time to move to something like Hot...

    WAG Questions about grips

    My daughters coach recommended that she get grips to use with the uneven bars. She is trying to get her level 5 skills. She has until the end of July. She still needs her fly away which they haven’t practiced yet and her drop kip (I think it’s called). She also needs a higher cast after her kip...

    WAG Too-small grips?

    Are my grips too small? These are my first pair of grips, so I trusted the instruction's vague description of fit and went ahead and broke them in. According to their size chart, they should fit perfectly (size 2 is between 6 1/2' and 7 1/4, and I'm 6 3/4'), but they just generally seem a little...
