I am writing to see if anyone else has a DD that does not use grips? My DD is second year L7 and has never desired grips. She actually said she doesnt want grips. I have talked to her coach and the response was that if she can do her skills without grips then there was no reason to get them. She is doing giants, etc... so I am not sure if going into L8 this Spring if I should approach it again or just let it ride? Thoughts?
