I'm curious when the gymnasts are encouraged/told to start using the grips. And what's the difference between tiger paws and bulldogs and whatever else is out there? Also, my daughters last coach let the girls chalk up before getting on a bar, but this current one in the next level up-according to my girl-says she wont allow it. Granted, they arent on bars constantly, but why would one allow it but not another?

Most female gymnasts get grips sometime around level 4 or 5.

Here are some threads to read:




Tiger paws are wrist supports made by US Glove. US Glove also makes very high quality grips. English Bulldogs are grips.
