WAG Grips

[sportyfam5]

My daughter is a level 9 gymnast. Lately she rips every time she is on bars. It seems to be holding her back. She thinks maybe her grips are not the right fit. She wants to try buckle grips. Any thoughts? She's always had Velcro type.

Used to use double buckle grips for my highest level girls, now I use them for all my girls that wear dowels. No more tightening and retightening them every few minutes. Put them on, and that's where they stay. The girls love them now, and so do I. Not sure why she would be ripping now, especially being a L9, other than not fitting correctly as you mentioned. How long has she had her grips? My top girls replace theirs every 3 to 6 months. Is she keeping her hands soft and moisturized?
