    WAG Questions about grips (photos included).

    Hi everyone! I’ve been doing gymnastics since I was a child (I’m now 21) but only ever learned the basics on bars as WAG isn’t my discipline. I decided I wanted to start learning a bit more on bars which I have mainly been teaching myself when the gym is free. Because of this I don’t have a...

    WAG Under grip thumb position

    Just a matter of curiosity... when doing undergrip skills like front giants, endos, weilers, jaegers, is it preferred to wrap your thumbs around the bar or keep them close the rest of the hand?

    WAG getting the kip while already using grips?

    DD has had grips for many years -but still doesn't have her kip despite working on this skill for 4 years. I know it's uncommon to get grips before having the skill but unfortunately one of DD's previous coaches did not agree with this. DD has not given up the grips because she says her hands...

    WAG Are Reisport buckle grips longer then the Velcro?

    I recently bought new Reisport grips and changed from Velcro to buckle. I had size 2 Velcro and ordered the same size again in buckle as I am still this size according to the size chart. However, the buckle grips new are the same length as my old stretched Velcro ones and when worn feel to...

    MAG Need help / advice - injury causing inability to grip

    My son competes in Championships in a couple weeks and he hurt himself doing high-bar. I don't think it was a true injury on high-bar but the symptoms became obvious while on high-bar. He can't grip with his right hand. When he touches his thumb to his index finger, pain shoots up his arm into...

    WAG New Grips

    My daughter is a level 6 and is now starting to need grips. She has small hands and just wants to be able to grip the bar better. Some girls on her team are using reisport, hot shots, and gibson. What brand do you prefer? Would you recommend single buckle or double buckle? Thanks!

    WAG too-small grips?

    I know that grips that are too long are dangerous because they can cause grip lock, but what about grips that are too small? Can they cause peeling or other issues?

    MAG Epke zonderland and his grips

    Yes you saw that right, his grip came undone during his routine. Happy it wasn't a freak incident and he was able to save it. He got to perform it again later, but it wasn't scored.

    Parents bruises from grips

    My daughter just started using grips--double buckle with dowel. She is getting bruises on the top of her hand in the area between her pointer and thumb. The coach seems to think the buckles are hitting her hand there but I don't think that's possible. Any ideas about why she might be getting...

    WAG Grip/Wristband problems

    I currently have double buckle grips and recently the metal part of the grip has started to really hurt/irritate my wrist. I have tried washing my wristbands to get the chalk out and that helps, but only for a day. I have tried taping my wrist then putting a wristband on top which has helped so...

    WAG Question about wristbands for grips

    DD got her kip a couple months ago and now her coaches have asked us to order grips. They haven’t really given us any requirements for the color of the wristbands, other than not to do any crazy colors. So my question is what colors are best to use for competition and are there any colors that I...

    Parents Grip lock

    My daughter has just been invited to move up to level 3 and I was reading over the packet and there was a waiver we have to sign about grips. Luckily my daughter will NOT need grips this year but the form had warnings that really scared me about how the grips can break their arms or something. I...

    Parents Help with Grip Pain in Surgery Scar

    My daughter had surgery to fix her broken radius a year ago. Her scar still hurts if rubbed or bumped. She’s finally at a level where (non dowel) grips are being used. But she can’t wear them because even with the wrist bands, it rubs and hurts. Any suggestions on padding that area to keep...

    WAG Random Grips Question

    My DD is L5 if she hadn’t broken her arm. Anyway all the L4 and L5 girls have grips and she is the only one not in grips. And she’s okay with it. And I’m okay with it - and hadn’t given it much thought. But we were talking the other day and she said something about peels and that’s why she...
