Though they are usually recommended for girls just starting out in dowel grips, there are a couple of styles of Narrow grips that are appropriate for older girls as well. The Millenium 1 Dowel Grips (in buckle or velcro) and the Millenium 2 Dowel Grips both have palms that are slightly more tapered in the middle than regular width grips and are designed with a wrist cuff durable for the higher level gymnasts.
