Grips, grips, grips!?

[rockyrose]

Hi! My coach has suggested I buy grips for the uneven bars because I am unable to get a good enough grip on high bar and have also been ripping way too often from sole circles. However, after much research I feel as though it's really not worth the money and break-in time because I'm just a rec gymnast. (I guess I'd be around level 4/5) I also like being in control of the bar and everything.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice as to whether or not I should buy them? Or even a link to alternatives would be great! Thanks in advance!

If your just a rec gymnast, you could make tape grips that you can use until they ware out.
Here's a link on how to make them, I hop it works...
