Grip Gloves

@ Charley: I have some Tite Grip samples and have used it once with little success. I realize now I was using it like Mighty Grip and applying right before poling. So, if it's best applied 30-60 minutes before poling, how can someone that is contantly needing to wash hands for some reason or other supposed to keep their application of Tite Grip on between the time you apply and the time you pole? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
I would give anything to have decent grip for a change…of course, when (and if) I finally ever get it, I'll probably remove skin! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have a 50mm Chrome pole. I bet gripping too hard is my problem with them since I’m used to holding on as tight as I can.

No doubt, it does take a little practice to get use to the amount of pressure needed to maintain the proper grip.

Hi there,
I too have gloves, they need to be extremely snug fitting to work it seemed. I had the smallest size and altough the gloves stuck to the pole, my hands slid inside them so they didn't work for me – but if you could get them tight enough they could be okay. A year further on, I find i don't need too much help with grip – just a bit if gym chalk or mighty grip – altough tite grip was a real favourite when I was a beginner. Funny story; in my beginners classes one girl used to bring kitchen rubber gloves to grip with! Bright yellow!

Use a little grip aid (Mighty Grip preferably) on the hands before putting the gloves on. Keeps the gloves from slipping against the skin of the hands.
Works also for batting gloves and golf gloves in the same way.

I adjusted my grip and am now not sticking too much in my hand area but I am still having another issue, The very bottom part of the glove by my wrist is catching/sticking to the pole and stopping my spin. The gloves seem to be nice and tight on my hand and I tighten the strap as much as I can. So not sure why it is doing this or what I could do to prevent it? Also after the very first spin I did in them the stitching in the seem by my thumb popped! So I hope they aren't going to fall apart after only a few uses. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

some ladies have a longer palm area (wrist to bottom of fingers). We are working on the problem to see if we can move the closing strap or perhaps make an X-long glove Which would have to be about 1 to1.5 cm longer so the wrist strap does not get in the way of the grip on the pole.
If you have any problem with the glove not standing up to your workout please contact me by email (sales@mightygrip.com) and we will replace the glove.
Thank you,
Joel B.

I have some problems with gripping with both hands and feet due to an RA deformity….I got the ankle protectors, gloves and the wrist/thumb supports all with tack from mighty grip because all the practice in the world couldn't fix the gap my palms and feet had between them and the pole.
I have to say I love them, I love poling even though a beginner. If I hadn't found this product I probably would never have been able to learn and would have given up on it. I have a long way to go starting with out with conditioning and strengthening (again after a setback) but finding a way to modify my grip was a welcome find. Not sure I will ever try inversions because of my grip but at least I have found a way to pole.

I have used the gloves because I have a chrome pole and I'm always slipping. It work s pretty well, but then I have to take them off because my hands get sweaty in the gloves even when I use powder before I put my hands in.

I just got back into poling.Im still a beginner and have learned some basic spins at the studio. At what point should I invest in gloves and/or ankle grips. I have a stainless steel pole at home and yup….i SLIP all the time because of my sweaty palms. So, I see there is a glove to for grips that you can't spin in. Is there a glove for a little assistance for spins or would mighty grip be enough (the liquid).
