WAG Coaches...Kip tip?

[GymMomXcel]

Hi! My DD got her kip in the Spring (used palm grips at the time). Her coach recommended that she get dowel grips so she started using those around the beginning of July, I think. She cannot seem to do her kip with them! She thought she "lost" it over the lil break they had because she's heard that happens. But she did it without her dowel grips on the first try the other day.

What makes it so different with the dowel grips and any tips to help her? Thanks!

the feel will be different in grips, assuming that they are correctly sized, its just a question of her getting used to them

Thanks for the reply! She came home from practice that night and happened to do a couple with the new grips. Guess you're right & she just needs to get used to them.
