WAG which grips? 2 or 3 holes?

[katie]

Until now, I have just trained without grips but wanted to get one now, because I am learning giants and Free Hips to Handstand.

But now I can't decide which I should get because I have no idea!

I want to order them form Ginnasta, but there are soo many different grips - beginner grips, with two holes, with three holes...any advice?


What is the difference between grips with 2 and 3 holes for the fingers? Which ones are better?

I thought the grips with 3 holes were only for men?

Thanks, so maybe my questions is answered
Which do you use?

 

[Weirdgymnast]

I use the black velcro with dowels, also from Ginnasta

Uneven bar grips for women only have two holes.
Mens high bar grips have three holes.
Mens ring grips have two holes, with huge dowel......order by phone so you can ask the rep. for help.

Thank you! Can you explain the difference between buckle and velcro? Which one is better?

Thank, I think I will order those as well! Do you like them better than buckle ones?

They are easy to put on, but I usually have to adjust them after every 2 turns. I have never actually tried the buckle ones, but I reckon they don't need a lot of adjusting. My friend says they are quite hard to put on though.

All of my girls use the double buckle grips as it stops all that time wasting of retightening the Velcro before every turn. Now they have more time to stand around the 'talk' box!' Oops, meant 'chalk' box.

I have the ginnasta double buckle grips. As for the buckle vs. Velcro debate, I started with velcro and then moved to buckles because it's annoying having to adjust the grips every time you get off of the bar. Nothing but good things to say about them here!

Velcro is easier and quicker to put on. Buckles stay tight and you don't have to continue re-tightening. Older gymmie uses buckles. Younger uses Velcro.

Girls can use 3 hole grips also.

Our gym requires the girls to use buckle grips. They were a learning curve to put on, but you have a group of 8 and 9 year olds that can get them on in under 30 seconds (all our bar coach allows, before making them run) .

some girls, actually young women late in high school and college use the 3 hole men's high bar grip.

 

[cprp]

Wow! I never knew this. What would be the advantage I wonder?

 

[Justmehere]

There is actually a brand that makes 3 hole women's uneven bar grips. I wish I could remember the name.

US Glove, of course. ^^^

A lot of my older gymnasts like them much more than 2 hole grips.

I actually found the brand I was talking about it is Tru Grip.
