Totally agree on the grips issue! dowels are much better! You can also use tape on your hands when you think you are getting a rip, or you got one, or your hands are feeling sore cuz you're doing a lot of bars! There's probably some girls at your club that do the taping under their grips, but probably for the higher levels, because they are doing bars for a longer time, like twice as long.
