When is it time to replace your gymnastics grips? In this video we look at examples of grips that need to be replaced. The leather surface of a grip over time can become worn down and very thin. This can result in the leather ripping. One of the most common examples is the rip on the side of the grip. Here is an example of the leather weakening enough for it rot and form a hole in the leather. These two examples are due in part to the spraying of water on the grip surface, which is a very common (but not recommended!) practice.
American Gymnast carries two different brands of Uneven Bar Dowel Gymnastics Grips for girls that have the regular width palm on the grip. The Reisport Uneven Bar Grips and the English Bulldog Uneven Bar Grips are almost identical in the shape of the grip and both brands are offered with either the Velcro closure or Double-Buckle closure. They both have two finger holes and the same size leather-wrapped dowel.
