Choosing Gymnastics Grips - Palm vs Dowel Grips
Why Gymnastics Grips are Important
Gymnastics grips are extremely important to all athlete, men and women. They cover the palm of the hand to prevent injury to the gymnast and to the equipment. When looking at the grips you will notice that they are a wrist brace with a piece of fabric that hooks onto the center fingers. The grips are made of leather. The leather gives the grips durability and make it easy for the athlete to twirl on the bars while holding tightly so they don't fall. The gymnastics grips was made by Jung Y. Mah in 2003. The male grip and the females grip are different but not very different. The grips for the men are larger and cover the entire palm of their hands. The gymnastics grips for females only cover the center part of the palm. Different grips have two holes for the fingers to slip through and some have two elastic loops for the fingers.
The design and color of gymnastics grips that the gymnast uses is their own personal choice. The wrist brace of the grip can vary also. They come in a a lot of variety such as velcro, snap, clips or buckles. The position of the fingers depends on the athlete and what feels good for them. The variety of colors depends on which one the athlete choose. Most athlete prefer the white grips because of the chalk and how it throws off the color of the uniform. But other gymnast chose to match the color of the grips to their leotards or team colors that they are wearing for the meet. Some coaches or gyms may require a certain grip to be worn so that the team is wearing the same style and color. They may also have the gymnast wear them so they can take care of their equipment. There are different styles of gymnastics grips for different events such as rings, parallel bars, or uneven bars. Some men do not wear the grips while performing on the pommel horse. They explain it affects the movement of their hands while others want to wear them because the grips make it a lot convenient to move freely over the pommel horse.
Most athlete put a wristbands under the gymnastics grips to keep it comfortable and placement to the hand. When observing a gymnastics meet you will see the athlete placing water and chalk on their hands before beginning their routine on a particular equipment. This assist with hardening the grips. Some gymnast will not to do this because it makes the grip slippery when the chalk wears off and can create falls and accidents from the gymnastics equipment. This important piece of equipment is used from the beginning of gymnastics all the way up to the Olympic levels of gymnastics.
