Agree that it is individual preference. Mine wears hot shots (single buckle) size 0. Coaches were trying to get her to switch to reisport this summer (this seems to be the brand that many of our upper levels use) but she really likes to feel the bar and felt the reisport grips were too wide to do so. She tried a couple of practices borrowing reisport grips from a friend in another level, and wasn't a fan. So she ended up with her 3rd pair of hot shots.... will stick with them for at least this season (L7).
