    Hi, so I was told by the gym that we were going to need a backup pair of grips... And My DD was honestly excited too because all of a sudden her grips are the worst grips in her eyes.. *sigh* So I am gonna have to get her another pair for "backup" purposes..But I have a feeling she will just...

    Parents Giants without grips?

    My eight year old recently came home and said her coach wanted to start working with her on giants (I will be confirming this with the coach, not just gonna take her word for it). She does not have grips. Should she be working those without them?

    MAG Grips holes too big.

    I bought the Reisport Horizontal Bar Grips in size 1. The grips look and feel fine on my wrists, and they are the perfect length. Just one problem... the finger holes are a bit too big. What do you suggest doing so my fingers fit snugly and comfortably in the finger holes without slipping out...

    MAG How long do grips typically last?

    I know it depends on the kid, level, hours, etc. (And I tried to search before annoying you all with another grips question from me!) I'm just trying to figure out how far in advance I need to plan to have a backup pair for DS. He just got grips about a month ago (for anyone who hasn't read my...

    Parents Wrist support under grips

    Anyone have thoughts or product recommendations for supporting the wrists under grips? Obviously tiger paws not an option. Do most kids just tape if needed?

    WAG hands too small for grips?

    My kid has finally gotten her teeny tiny dowel grips (pixie grips, size 00). She is thrilled to have them and seems to be adjusting well, but mentioned that in front support her hands are spread pretty much flat across the top of the bar and she can't wrap her fingers around the bar. Is this...

    WAG Grips

    Didn’t know where to post this.. Anyways, I recently went to a gymnastics camp, where I was working giants/chs to flyaways/twisting, etc. I’m pretty sure I’ve discussed this on here before that i slip off the bar coming out of handstands. My coach at my gym says it’s because of regripping the...

    MAG Anyone use(d) Just Right grips by Gibson?

    Asking for 2 L6 guys who need grips, but have very small hands. (They are relatively small kids, too, but with big skills so they do need the grips.) The 00 Reisport ones will probably work, but I thought I'd ask since the Just Right ones run even smaller. Sorry to bug y'all again with more...

    Parents Grips

    What brand grips does your daughter use? My DD11 is training Level 7 and she uses the grips we buy from the gym which don't have any brand name on them. I want to get her a new pair. Suggestions? Thanks!

    WAG Benefits of grips

    My coach told us yesterday that we could get grips if we wanted. He said it Will reduce the chance of rips. Are there any other benefits to grips?

    WAG Grips adjustment time?

    My dd got her first set of grips at the end of this competition season (so, about 2 months ago) and she has definitely regressed on bars. She is just still struggling with the feel and movement with grips on and says she "almost dies" on tap swings. lol. She currently can't get through a...

    MAG enlarging finger holes on grips

    I'm sorry to ask another grips question, but I decided this was better as its own thread. Grips are in, but the finger holes are way too small. (He can't even get the beginning of his fingertip through.) That makes sense, since I guess they need to fit the smallest person and can be enlarged...

    MAG grips question

    So DS (8, just starting L6) has now been told he needs grips for high bar and pbars. His coach is a nice guy but is the interim coach as well as gym owner, so he's really busy and I feel like it's tough to catch him. What can y'all tell me - recommendations for brands, styles, etc.? I know...

    MAG The life span of grips?

    My son has had this set of High Bar grips for 2 years. His hands haven't really grown, but I am thinking before the summer camp season he should start to break in a new pair "just in case". How long have grips lived for your son??

    WAG Next Level Grips?

    Hi my daughter has been using Gibson Just Right Too's with the Velcro for the last few years. This off season she is having problems with the leather on her palms rolling and having to restrap the Velcro after every touch of the bar (grips are only a few months old). She has very small hands and...

    Parents Grips for uneven bars

    So I was wondering what level you guys got grips or what level you think most gymnasts should get grips.
