What is the deduction for alternating hand grasp or regaining hand grasp without supplementary support?

The deduction for alternating hand grasp or regaining hand grasp without supplementary support is set at 0.2. This deduction applies in situations where a gymnast demonstrates a lack of control or fluidity in their performance, specifically when they momentarily lose their grip on the apparatus. It reflects a moderate error in execution, suggesting that while the gymnast is able to perform the elements, there is a noticeable lack of precision or stability that impacts the overall quality of the routine. This deduction is intended to encourage gymnasts to focus on the importance of maintaining a secure and stable hand position throughout their performance, as it is crucial for safety and execution quality in gymnastics routines.
