The perfect grip doesn't exist! But we'll help you choose the right one for you
You heard that right! Over the last 2 years I've heard too many people say: "This grip is the perfect grip for every situation and suits everyone…" JUST BULLSH*T.
What I'm saying is that there is no perfect grip for everyone, but there is the perfect grip for YOU.
Functional fitness has now become a true sport discipline, and it is increasingly important to choose the right grip based on the type of athlete (weight, height, approach, technical level, etc.), the volume, the type of work we are about to tackle and the bar we are going to use.
That's why we at STMN decided to create a wide range of grips that will let you find the one that suits you best. We continue the research and development of our products every day: our mission is to evolve together with the sport.
Synth — the microfiber grip for rough bars
This grip replaces our old Classic and is made of synthetic microfiber.
It is the latest arrival at STMN, but it is enjoying huge success among competitors and class-goers because it is perfect for rough and medium-rough bars and must necessarily be used with chalk.
Synth is also perfect on wood, so on rings. Great in competition because it performs at its best on dirty bars.
Wear: we could compare it to a good wine that gets better with time. Use increases the porosity of the surface, increasing its grip.
Carbon — the carbon-weave-look competition grip
A great classic that brings almost everyone together: it is the competition grip that never lets you down.
Unlike Synth, it may sometimes not require the use of chalk.
Wear: since it has a carbon-weave-effect surface combined with microfiber, the outer layer tends to wear down faster than Synth (without compromising the product's performance in any way).
Zero — the rubber grip for a clean bar (no chalk)
The magic grip. Some are trying to imitate it, but with poor results.
Zero must necessarily be used WITHOUT CHALK and ON A CLEAN BAR.
We know, it's not the most common situation you'll find in competition, but when used in optimal conditions it delivers a grip that's hard to match. You will literally stay GLUED to the bar. We call it the weightlifting shoe for gymnastics.
Wear: the rubber surface obviously tends to wear down, but Zero keeps its performance high for a long time if looked after and cleaned with specific products.
Hybrid — the versatile grip for every type of bar
One of the latest arrivals, it has burst onto the market.
Hybrid is made with a rubber polymer (like Zero), but adapts better to every type of bar: smooth, rough, clean or dirty.
Those who prefer it over Carbon and Synth do so for its softness and reduced thickness. Moreover, in optimal conditions, its grip comes very close to that of Zero.
Wear: the material is very durable and withstands wear well, but we always recommend replacing every grip after about six months to always get the most out of our products.
You heard that right!
THE PERFECT GRIP DOES NOT EXIST.
