FAVORITE GRIPS VERSION 4.0!

They might already be the grippyest in the world, but we weren’t satisfied with that just yet! So for this new batch our mission was to increase the comfort of the wrist support, improve convenience and add even more value to your grip experience.

HD STYLE? Heavy Duty wrist support and wider hand coverage

Upgrades for 4.0

• Reduced bulk on the wrist strap and hole punch/clip design means you can pull the strap straight through faster and easier than ever before, and secure the strap tighter without excessive wrist pressure.

• Sides of the grips now clearly marked and space to write nicknames to differentiate from your mates (and your 50 other members at the gym)

• Free limited edition sweatbands to go with your free carry bag and towel.

• The return of the all black grips, with new limited edition colours to come!

FAQ

Q1. What's the difference between HD and OG?

HD has a wider wrist support and wider hand coverage. Our OG design has a thinner wrist support and more minimalist hand coverage, designed to fit the human hand. Which is better? That's purely personal preference, generally speaking bigger athletes tend to prefer the HD.

Q2. Should I chalk these?

We highly recommend using without chalk, although you can still use them with chalked bars (they'll still perform the same as your typical carbon fibre/diamond fibre grip) BUT they are WAY better without. 

Chalking the back of the grips is 100% fine, same with chalking your hands for barbells etc, they're not that sensitive.

Q3. What pull up bars do these do best with?

Almost every pull up bar out there, except speal bars/zinc coated. It's mixed reviews but generally speaking cleaned down bare steel bars as a whole are okay, it's the speal bars where they don't perform as well. That being said when we say not as well, we mean how they would be on other bars. They may still perform better than you current grips. But we would still recommend our base and fibre grips for Speal bars instead.

Q4. Should I go a size up for fingerless?

Depending on how you grip the bar potentially yes. However you do not need to have a lot of excess hanging over the bar like you might see some athletes do. Especially with how grippy these are, it just comes down to preference. We do not recommend sizing more than one size up as it increases the risk of getting grip locked on the bar. Sizing correctly will also reduce any discomfort caused by grip lock.

Q5. Should I go fingerless or fingerholes?

One way you can decide is how you grab the pull up bar. Thumbs around, fingerhole may be better, Thumbs over, fingerless may be better. Especially when using for muscle ups thumb over the bar is the recommended use when completing bar muscle ups. But it does come down to personal preference. Fingerholes also offer other options such as to be used on KB's or on a barbell as needed. It's also worth noting you do not necessarily need to put your fingers all the way in the fingerholes, and just to the first knuckle will often give you more of a dowel effect to lock onto the bar with. Again test and trial and see what works best for you.

Q6. Are there any adjustments needed when using these grips? 

The main differences is remembering to open the hand to let go instead of sliding off the bar, 'with great grip comes great responsibility' and it's important that you remember that, what keeps you locked onto the bar is also what will stop you coming off. So a couple of things to consider:

- Always use first in a warm up setting or a skill setting first, before jumping into a workout.

- Practice letting go vs sliding off, it's a small adjustment and won't take long to feel natural

- When performing movements such as muscle ups you will need to learn to relax/open your hands at the top. Thumbs around athletes, we would recommend using finger holes or practicing not pushing your knuckles so far over the bar. Again practice first before completing in a workout under fatigue. Again small adjustments that will make the movement a lot more comfortable.

These grips will transform all of your gymnastics movements, but may need time to adjust if you're not use to just how grippy they are.

We do not recommend using for pull overs if you're: A) New to the grips and/or B) yet to achieve proficiency in this movement. Again remembering to open the hand as you rotate around is key.

Q7. Will they wear down over time?

Yes, just like tyres on a road, the friction from the grip will wear them down over time. We're constantly improving this longevity, but how long will depend on a ton of factors. Our expected life span would be between 6-18 months depending on usage. But again many things can affect this from volume, size of the athlete, bar types used, conditions, care, technique, types of movements and so on. All grips come with a 5 month warranty* 

Q8. How can I wash these?

We recommend a hand wash with warm water and small amount of detergent diluted. Be sure to cover the velcro with the strap. Do not machine wash

Note: Even though our cut of the Kevlar is much smoother than other grips you'll see out there, some fraying out the sides is expected.
