Entry-level suede leather grips for recreational gymnastics and youth programs, easy to size and fit
JAP Grips occupy the correct middle tier for recreational gymnasts and youth programs who need hand protection without the expense and break-in complexity of competition-grade grips. The suede leather provides decent bar contact and prevents the worst rips without requiring weeks of conditioning. The sizing is consistent and they're easy to put on correctly, which matters for youth athletes. They won't perform like Reisport or Gibson Athletic in competition conditions, but for recreational bar work 3-4 times per week, they provide adequate protection at a price that makes sense. Good entry-level grips for adults starting gymnastics.
Pros
- Suede leather prevents the worst rips without weeks of conditioning
- Consistent sizing that youth athletes can put on correctly
- Sensible price for recreational bar work 3-4 times a week
Cons
- Won't match competition-grade grips under competition conditions
