Mykayla Skinner wears tape grips

UNDER her Bailey Velcro grips.

Expensive, slow and complicated. But it seems to work for her.

I have found that doing the tape under normal grip (as Mick is doing) is a way to be able to still keep swinging (i.e. maintain practice schedule) when you have serious rips or the start of rips. I usually didn’t bother if not ripping for a period of time. But I did find that it was also a good preventative measure. (Like double socks in basketball practice, stopping blisters.)

I prefer buckled grips. Just feels more secure and tight.
