Some of my athletes use velcro but I dont trust it much, I make them wear elastics also but that isn't a sure bet either. I have always wondered if there was anything better out there, I would like to here was gymnasts and coaches think of these new grips!

We have already witnessed cases where gymnasts are asking coaches to tighten their grips and I have seen them being cinched as hard as the coach can muster. Is that much pressure harmful short or long term or do we even know? If the athlete is allowed to tighten themselves they are probably never in a position to overtighten to the point of damaging anything. This way I'm just not sure I’d be a little leary by the amount of pressure that can be exerted on the wrist area by these “inventions”.
