Fierce Phoenix Shield Grips – Safety & Use Instructions

FIERCE PHOENIX SHIELD GRIPS

Important Safety & Use Instructions

Fierce Phoenix Shield Grips are designed to provide a high level of grip on the bar. Because of this, they may feel and release differently from traditional gymnastics grips.

Please read these instructions before use.

Before your first workout

Practise using your grips during warm-up or skill work before using them under fatigue, at high speed or in competition.

Become familiar with how the grips sit on your hands, move around the bar and release.

Releasing from the bar

To release, actively open and relax your hand. Do not rely on the grip simply sliding off the bar.

Avoid wrapping excessive grip material around the bar, as this may make release more difficult.

Always use a grip position and technique appropriate to the movement you are performing.

Chalk-free use

Fierce Phoenix Shield Grips are designed to provide high grip without chalk.

For best performance:

  • Start with a clean, dry grip surface
  • Use on a clean, dry bar
  • Avoid applying chalk unless specifically recommended for the equipment you are using
  • Stop and reassess if the grips behave differently from expected

Check before every use

Inspect your grips before each training session.

Do not use them if you notice:

  • tears, splits or cracking
  • damaged stitching
  • damaged wrist straps or hardware
  • excessive stretching
  • separation between materials
  • significant wear to the gripping surface
  • any other damage or change that may affect safe use

Also check that the bar, rings or other equipment are secure and in good condition.

Fit & use

Make sure:

  • your grips are correctly fitted
  • the Left and Right markings are followed
  • wrist straps are secure and comfortable
  • the grips are suitable for the movement being performed
  • you are comfortable releasing from the equipment before increasing speed or intensity

Stop using the grips immediately if they feel unsafe, become damaged or behave unexpectedly.

Know your limits

Gymnastics and functional fitness movements involve an inherent risk of falls and injury.

Use Fierce Phoenix Shield Grips only for their intended purpose and for movements appropriate to your ability and experience.

If you are new to gymnastics grips or unsure about correct technique, seek guidance from a suitably experienced coach before use.

Remember

Practise first.
Don’t over-wrap.
Open your hand to release.
Check your grips before every use.
