Hand Grip Guide

Which grip is right for you?

hand grip guide

Since 2016, RooGrips hand grips have evolved alongside the sport — starting with our original two-finger design, expanding to three-finger, then fingerless, and now our next-gen vegan synthetic Max Grip.

We continue to innovate to meet the demands of athletes at every level, from CrossFit® to gymnastics and general gym training. With a variety of hand grips tailored for performance, protection and comfort, the only question is: which RooGrips are right for you?

ROOGRIPS FEATURES AND BENEFITS

THREE FINGER VS FINGERLESS

HOW TO WEAR YOUR hand GRIPS

WHY WEAR hand GRIPS?

There are two main reasons to buy hand grips:

1. Better Grip and

2. Proactive Injury protection.

Hand protection grips are essential in helping you protect your hands from the pain of injuries, blisters, calluses and sweaty, slippery hands during your workouts, allowing you to improve your reps, increase your endurance and you will never have to miss a workout again.

RooGrips are the Swiss Army knives of CrossFit grips – perfect for weightlifting and gymnastics, but specifically designed to endure all the hand-torturing exercises CrossFit throws at you, like muscle-ups, kipping pull-ups and toes-to-bar.

RooGrips not only protect your hands but provide a better grip too, facilitating smoother and more controlled movements.

The question is, which grips to choose?

We break down the differences between fingerless (no hole) hand grips and non-fingerless (2 hole and 3 hole) grips, making it easier for you to choose the best option for your needs.

FINGER HAND GRIPS

Engineered for maximum control and comfort, our two finger hand grips and three finger hand grips are the strongest in the world, delivering superior performance during even the toughest workouts.

PALM COVERAGE

Two Finger Hand Grips - Have a smaller palm piece, covering only the middle inside part of your hand, making them perfect all-rounders and suitable for those with smaller hands.

Three Finger Hand Grips – Offering full palm coverage, these grips provide added stability and secure finger attachment, ensuring they stay in place during intense exercises without flipping back.

EASE OF TRANSITION

Perfect for athletes who value flexibility, our finger grips can be used with or without the finger holes for quick transitions. It's the best of both worlds: you can enjoy the benefits of the grips while skipping the holes when you need to move fast.

When you do use the holes, they offer a dowel effect (as shown in our video), giving you even greater protection and grip.

FINGERLESS HAND GRIPS

We've reimagined our bestselling Three-Finger Grip into a fingerless design, perfect for athletes who want the flexibility to switch grips on and off throughout their workout.

PALM COVERAGE

The fingerless grip offers full coverage as it covers all of your palm and fingers too.

EASE OF TRANSITION

The main benefit of the fingerless hand grips is the ease of transitions from a skill where you need the grips, such as muscle ups, to one where you prefer to go barehanded, such as double-unders or a handstand walk. The fingerless grips will save a little time by not having to take the grips off your fingers. Our Leather Grips also offer an elastic band feature so you can quickly tuck the grip away when you don’t want to use it.

UNMATCHED STABILITY, STRENGTH AND COMFORT

RooGrips hand grips are engineered for every athlete, offering a choice of thickness and feel to suit your training style. Our 1mm kangaroo leather grips deliver a slim, natural bar feel; the 2mm double-thick leather grips provide extra protection and durability; and our 2.6mm vegan synthetic Max Grips give maximum coverage and comfort.

No matter which you choose, all RooGrips are crafted for strength, stability and performance. They won’t lock onto the bar, ensuring a safe, controlled grip through pull-ups, muscle-ups and weightlifting. Designed to absorb moisture and reduce slip, RooGrips keep you secure—even in the sweatiest workouts.

Great Grips.

Used them a few times, lots of grip, super comfy and gives lots of confidence in hands not being shredded.

Steve M.

Really strong and durable

Excellent grips for any gymnastic and bar work. I've recommended these to many people

Misha B.

The best hand grips

I previously had the two finger roo grips and thought they were great...so surely three finger grips would be even better, right!? Thankfully, this turned out to be true. Extra cover over the palms has helped a lot.

Alex R.

The best crossfit grips

Have previously used the RAW fabric style grips and found they didn't last and offered minimal protection. Have now used my roo grips a few times and am finding them comfortable and effective at protecting my hands.
