we use yoga mats and they work very well

I'm pretty sure both are of "d" value (the bail is only a "d" if you do it from hs to hs) so in terms of difficulty they are both the same. I normally see younger girls or girls that are very flexible perform pac's. and then bails I see more for older gymnasts, but homestly it all depends on...

i tumbled without tiger paws until level 8 but then i started getting wrist pains and i began to use them. They are honestly a blessing and protect my wrists from overuse. I reccomend using them if you're more advanced in gymnastics and if you have wrist pain.
