Ok so i am getting grips...now what?

[gymgurl]

Ok so i have decided to get grips, i asked my coach and he has the attitude every gymnast should have grips so i have decided to get them. Trouble is that i don't know what brand to get for grips. I have looked up some reviews for reisport grips and a lot of them suggest only for high level girls (like 9 or 10) is this a true judgement? what are your experiences.

What other brands are available in Australia?

In terms of sizing from tip of finger to wrist meets palm i am about 6 and 3/4 inches, i have heard that you should order 1 size smaller than you actually are? is this true?

any help would be appreciated

Get Reisport, its the most common brand in Australia, we don't have a huge amount of choice like they do overseas. Kids usually have reisport from level 4 in Australia.

You should definitely NOT get them 1 size too small. You are a size 2.
