Base Grips 2.0 | OG
The original grip that launched the Frog, but upgraded and ready for the future!
The Base Grip has forever been the all rounder to the Frog Athletes arsenal, but we knew we could make it even more durable and effective in chalky environments. So we've moved on from the old carbon fibre and developed the Block Fibre! Chock full of upgraded features including:
- Extra grip and chalk retention to reduce your need to keep returning to the dreaded chalk bucket
- Softer more pliable material (and yet highly durable) for better feel on the bars, creating more connection for hand to bar and much comfier around the finger holes.
- Reduced bulk around the wrist with a softer more comfortable neoprene wrist band
- Still with all the options including HD/OG wrist band styles, Finger Holes & Fingerless for different grip styles and Green/Pink to suit your swag.
- OG fingerless now with wider coverage, OG Fingerholes with the more narrow, hand conforming cut
- All Styles now come with limited edition sweatbands and a grip bag!
The Base are a great all rounder to your hand protection arsenal, keep your hands fresh and your grip strong for your next session and get #betterwithfrog

FAQ section
What's the difference between HD and OG?
HD has a wider wrist support and wider hand coverage. Our OG design has a thinner wrist support and more minimalist hand coverage, designed to fit the human hand. Which is better? That's purely personal preference, generally speaking bigger athletes tend to prefer the HD. Those who like less bulk on their wrist prefer the OG.
Should i go a size up for fingerless?
Following the size chart is recommended, however experienced athletes may want to go a size up for fingerless use with these grips. You do not need to go up 2 or more sizes from your measured size, excessive overhand does nothing to keep you on the bar as it's not physically in contact with the bar
Should I chalk these?
Yes, although these are solid without chalk they will perform best with chalk added. They've been designed to hold chalk for longer, meaning less trips to the bucket.
What pull up bars do these work best with?
All bar types and rings, great all round performance across the board. However if we had to pick one we'd say they perform best on powder coated chalked bars while the Fibes excel on steel bars
What's the difference between Base Grips and Fibre Grips?
The Base Grips use a synthetic leather material and generally perform best on powder coated style bars. While Fibre grips have a microfibre base and a softer/thinner feel, work best on steel bars and rings specifically.
Should I go fingerless or fingerholes?
One way you can decide is how you grab the pull up bar. Thumbs around, fingerhole may be better, Thumbs over, fingerless may be better. Especially when using for muscle ups thumb over the bar is the recommended use when completing bar muscle ups. But it does come down to personal preference. Fingerholes also offer other options such as to be used on KB's or on a barbell as needed. It's also worth noting you do not necessarily need to put your fingers all the way in the fingerholes, and just to the first knuckle will often give you more of a dowel effect to lock onto the bar with. Again test and trial and see what works best for you.
How long do these last?
Our expected life span would be between 6-24 months depending on usage. But again many things can affect this from volume, size of the athlete, bar types used, conditions, care, technique, types of movements and so on. All grips come with a 6 month warranty*
How can I wash these?
We recommend a hand wash with warm water and small amount of detergent diluted. Be sure to cover the velcro with the strap. Hang to dry fully. Do not machine wash
