Here's another video about Gymnastics Grips. American Gymnast puts the Reisport Elite Protec Uneven Bar Dowel Grips in a category of their own because they are a little different than the other types of grips. These Protec Gymnastics Grips actually have a palm that is made up of 2 pieces of leather with a Kevlar bond sandwiched in-between. Because of this chemical bond, the grips are stronger than some other styles and they don’t stretch as much as normal grips. Since they stretch less than other dowel grips, it can take a little bit of time to get used to the way that they feel. We generally recommend this style of grips to higher level optional girls (Levels 9, 10 & Elite) that are breaking other styles of grips more frequently than they should. We sell a lot of the Protec grips to women’s collegiate gymnastics teams.

The hottest selling gymnastics product at American Gymnast is the Tiger Paw Wrist Support. I personally believe it to be the best wrist support on the market. Everyday I hear from people about how much they love this suppot, I watch them fly off the shelves and I see that we NEVER have quality control issues with them. The only returns we ever receive are from customers that just need to exchange for a different size (which is still a very low percentage compared to the number of orders we have for them).

When choosing the best pair of Gymnastics Grips for your gymnast, first decide if you need Basic Palm Grips or Dowel Grips. This American Gymnast video will hopefully help gymnasts and parents distinguish between these two types of grips.
