Which versa grips do you use?
What's the diff between pro series and others?
Size?

I have and have only used the PRO series. I've had mine for YRS now. I LOVE them! Im not sure I've heard someone say they didnt. They are just SO versatile.

The pro series have a longer piece of leather, stronger, reinforced buckle/wrist etc, aimed at the 'serious' lifter...

The classic series seems to be almost the same but not as 'strong'

The fit series, aimed at women, is just smaller.

I think most people have been ordering the PRO small.

Thanks. I think I really need something to help my grip for DLs. My hands are on the small side so I'll check out the link.

I've thought of trying these but they are so pricey. I just use regular straps I also don't wear gloves. To me my hands are too small and using gloves just makes my grip smaller and I like to feel the weight anyway.

they are worth their weight in gold.
i couldnt DL more than a measly 30kg without them.. im at 92.5kg now in like.. 6-8wks

the pro's are awesome. i went up a size (to small) and they are the best thing ive bought!

It is just as easy to use regular weight lifting straps. I use them for most if not all of my back exercises, including deadlifts. I know versa grips are helpful if you aren't comfortable using actual straps though. I guess the are easier to apply? Straps are like $8.00 at most lol. Heck I even got a cheapy pair for free once!

ive never used straps but have some. the thing i LOVE about the versas is they cover the palm so no gnarly caluses and they dont move at all! plus you still get the forearm strengthening. my wrists used to fatigue and hurt to the point i couldnt do a pushup.. took a good month to get better but now the gains ive made are awesome!

versas van be used with DBs too.. my hands get shredded otherwise
maybe try straps first?

I love that they are just that , so versatile and that my hands dont get cut up or caloused . And sometimes, just a slight barrier adds so the hands dont slip , even if Im not using the grip aspect of it when i dont need to.

Just took the plunge yesterday and ordered them at Amazon .. but went for the nicer looking pink Fit line.. not sure yet the PRO has the x-small type as the link wouldn't open. damn.. they do have x-small and the PRO is even at the same price!
NOT sure yet whether they do give me an advantage.. for ME , grip was NEVER an issue until I discovered to always have been superlucky with slim barbells (even the official Eleiko women's competition bb!!) and upon using the men's bb couldn't close my fingers fully around it so grip was failing badly.
Never in my entire life did I get as many calluses but more importantly, middle finger is now squished up to the point it will no longer straighten automatically : only with gentle force and then it 'springs' open..
Hopefully it can mend/heal?

I've really been wanting to order these. I know when I do my lat pulls, my hands give out definitely before the rest of me does. Of course I want to order the PINK ones, but sounds like I need to order the PRO instead of the pink....hmmm :shrug:

oh, thanks Ming! So that is what you gals would recommend that I order, the professional pink and size? My wrist is 6" so I go x-small or small? And do you suggest ordering directly from the versagrips site? thanks friends! :flirty:
