This is the next step up from Bailie Beginner dowel guards in a single buckle style.
- This grip is a narrow width grip.
- The palm piece is narrower than our standard width grip and is recommended for gymnasts that have narrower or smaller hands.
- It is appropriate for any level of gymnast. Available in sizes 00-5, Size currently stocked 0-2 ( If you would like another size please indicate in the text box provided)
- PLEASE NOTE - Large toweling wrist bands ( 5inch) are required with this product to alleviate rubbing/ blisters on the wrists.
HOW TO SIZE: Measure from the base of the palm (where wrist creases) to the tip of the middle finger. Use that measurement against the size chart below.

Please note: ALL guards should be checked with your coach prior to use, to ensure the size is correct for you. If guards have been named/ worn/ marked we are unable to exchange or refund. Incorrect use of guards may result in serious injury.
IMPORTANT WARNING:
- You must replace guards each year, or at the first sign of a tear
- In the case of a tear, discontinue use of guards IMMEDIATELY and replace
- The higher the skill level & hours trained is relative to how often you will need to replace your guards. Higher hours & skills = more frequent replacement. This is to ensure your safety on bars.
- Do not cut the dowel of the grips! The leather can expand and it will risk an accident.
- Do not use water on your grips, the leather will harden and snap.
- If finger holes are too small, you can abrade it with sand paper slowly. DO NOT use a knife or scissors. DO NOT make finger holes too big, this risks the guards slipping off.
