Slippery Uneven Bars

[brookenovak]

What is the best way to make a newer set of uneven bars more less slippery? Any good techniques for watering/chalking grips?

We have a newer set of bars at the gym and they are very slippery! Chalk and water hasn't worked very effectively and I'm constantly peeling off. Does anyone have any techniques to add more traction?

Thanks!

I don't think there is much more you can do than the chalk and water. :/
We sometimes ran sand paper down them....it helps a tiny bit.

I've heard hairspray and chalk. Not sure how effective it is but that's what I've heard.

Spray with water, then powder chalk, then block chalk.... Afterwards chalk your grips up loads and swing a few times. Also it might be more to do with your grips, either get hold of a grip brush, or scrape them down the wires of the bars.
