Gymnasts and coaches: what is your favorite brand or type of grips for uneven bars? My daughter has been wearing reisport velcro dowel grips and uses ten-o neoprene wrist bands underneath her terry wrist bands. Anyway, she's needing a new pair of grips. Some of her teammates wear ten-o buckle grips, but seem to need the coach (me) to buckle them to make them "tight enough"...some of the kids use neoprene cuffed grips and some don't. So I was just wondering everyone's opinion, I guess...

I think maybe it somewhat depends on size and skill level of the gymnast...my daughter just turned 9 and is a level 6 under the current system and getting ready to swing giants. She's about 53 or 54 inches tall and weighs 80-85 pounds. Her hand measures exactly 6" from base of palm (very top of wrist) to the tip of middle finger.
 
My daughter loves her Ginnasta double buckle grips, until the narrow width. She is L7 and has used them since L6. She has also tried velcro and single buckle. Prefers single buckle over velcro. She is 4'6" and almost 70lbs.

She also likes the long wrist bands Ginnasta sells.

I love my Ballie double buckle grips which I've had for around 2 years. I think the leather is quite thick so they took a while to break in but they last really well.

I like having buckles because although they take longer to put on, I know that they will stay on and I don't need to adjust them as I remember which holes to use so they fit the same every time.
