Sho Nakamori had a ring grip break after only 2-days use.
He was lying on the ground after peeling off on a dismount before he discovered what had happened.
The manufacturer is Reisport, as good as any of the competitors, I’d say.
Over the years I’ve seen many Reisport grips break in only a matter of days, but never Ring grips. Horizontal Bar grips normally get stretched and break sooner.
Solution?
Dave Bucci in a comment on Full Twist said this:
NOT unheard of. Our friend, Mario West, had the exact same thing happen at the Winter Cup a year and a half ago — High Bar was his first event, and it happened during warmups. It didn’t injure him badly, but it affected the whole meet.
Since then, he’s been going to a gentleman in Gaithersburg, MD named “Tien” (not sure of the spelling), who handcrafts his grips. Apparently, the Japanese and Chinese national teams both buy from this craftsman as well, and Mario seems to have more confidence in his grips.
Leave a comment if you have any advice on where to get gymnastics grips more durable than Reisport.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with the guy who makes grips? My son has been having problems with high bar grips breaking as soon as he breaks them in. I’m looking for a solution myself.

I realize this is an old thread but I will share since many people have this issue of grips snapping.
I started my own grip company that uses a layering system of leather and Kevlar. This makes the grips extremely strong but still have the same comfortable feel. I would recommend using these and not risk injury..
