They copied the look. Not the grip.
In a product photo, most lifting grips look alike. Here is what the photo leaves out.

01 The palm
Made only for Versa Gripps
Pro’s palm is a custom-engineered non-slip material made exclusively for Versa Gripps, reinforced with fabric.
★★★★★ These things are wicked!!!
the compound on the palm pads is ridiculously sticky on bars, dumbbells, kettlebells, everything!

Look-alike “almost leaving sticky tar”

02 The hold
Holds light. Lets go fast.
Fold the palm piece over the bar and close your hand. It holds with modest pressure and lets go when you open your hand.
★★★★★ Solid grip, no slip – game changer
The grip is insane once they’re locked in, the bar isn’t going anywhere.

03 The strap
Snug, not tight
Pro’s padded, funnel-shaped strap fits snug, not tight, and spreads support evenly across the base of your hand.
★★★★★ Best upgrade to regular straps
The wrist wraps are really comfortable and it's so grippy!

04 Sweaty hands
Built to stay grippy
The palm surface is built to stay grippy for the life of the pair. A product photo can’t show how it behaves mid-set.
★★★★★ So Far they are great
They do not get as wet as other grips I have used and they remain sticky even when I am sweaty.

05 The track record
Some pairs last a decade

BEFORE YOU BUY
A few useful answers
What should I check on a cheaper grip? Look at the palm surface, not the outline. Ask how it grips and lets go, where the wrist strap puts pressure, and what the warranty covers.

How do I choose a size? Measure around your wrist bone, not your hand. The size guide recommends sizing up if you fall on the line.
