What grips do men's gymnasts use?
High bar grips with a slim dowel and three finger holes, and ring grips with a larger dowel and two finger holes.
When should a boy get dowel grips?
Usually around Level 5-6 or when his coach says swings need them.
Are wrist supports necessary for pommel horse?
Many gymnasts wear them for pommel and floor to reduce wrist strain; ask the coach.

Gymnast beanies, duffel bags, parallettes, personalized items and a grip bag.
Can boys practice rings at home?
Only low, coach-approved strength holds with an adult present and mats; no swings or dismounts.
