My daughter has always had trouble with her wristbands shifting under her grips. As she adds difficulty in bars, her wrists are starting to get really chewed up and she’s frustrated by constant wristband adjustments. I just ordered drybands at her request but while we wait for them to come to see if that helps, can anyone help me troubleshoot for her?
So far she’s tried basic Amazon wristbands, which were sometimes ok but hard to find consistent fits- if we found one pair that stayed put the next pair of the exact same brand would be a different size or feel. So then we tried ten-0 wristbands in both the short and long lengths, which were slightly better but then she upgraded and the started shifting and creeping up under her grips again, especially when the wristbands aren’t brand new or lose the tiniest bit of stretch. Taping over her grips helps a bit but doesn’t always work and wears the wristbands out so quickly.
Could this be a grip problem? Something related to her being sweatier than average? It’s becoming a big distraction and fussing with wristbands and grips is taking up so much time that’s it’s starting to eat into her turns and training time. Help!
