I just started gymnastics about 1.5 yrs. and I do it in prep - opt ~ intermediate. I am an equivalent to a USA 6 (about). I do get some rips but I usually use a pumice stone and lotion on my hands so I don't rip too often. My coach nonchalantly mentioned that I could get grips if I wanted, but she had not made a big deal over it. However, most of my teammates have grips and I was wondering if I should too. My opinion is, I don't want to get too used to grips, but I am also wondering if they will help me? I am starting to learn important skills and I feel I should learn them with grips if I am going to use grips for the rest of my career. I am also a little bit scared to get grips because my hands won't be actually touching the bar - scary for me because I feel I won't be able to control my grip . . . even though they are called grips.
sorry its so long
Questions:
Should I get grips? Why or why not?
If I do get grips I am thinking about getting Gibson from DGS are those good? I think I would want thinner ones so please take that into consideration.
*** Bonus: How come not very many people reply to my other threads (only like 1 -3) how do I get more "known" on this site so people will answer my questions???
**** Extra Bonus: (sorry) How do I edit my signature I forget?
Thanks and sorry it is so long and sorry for the bonus questions
