i use 2 washcloths and just keep them on the bar and wash them weekly

if you are going ot the gym bring towels, i never found a pair of gloves thick enough to not damage your hands when you are lifting big weights

Funny, I'm using 2 washcloths right now! It does help.

Look at your hand and pay attention to placement. Don't grip with the fat part of your hand below your knuckles, pay attention to how you twist your hands while you're pulling yourself up. You will get callouses they will stay nice and normal, eventually.

Are you saying to use a tiny bit less palm and more finger to grip the bar?

And ok...I guess maybe callouses won't impact my playing. So you guys don't use gloves? Maybe I was making up a problem to solve when there isn't really one.
