thegripmaster Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Anyone used this Vatiz adjustable gripper? Same concept as the Vulcan V2 or Robert Baraban Adjustable (RBA) but much nicer with numbered spring positions and stainless steel. Made in Korea.

Cannon Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I would not say nicer although I have not used one...too bad the handles close flat together. That's weird. Have you used one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegripmaster Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Nicer as in looks. No, I haven't used one. Seems like it's quite popular in Russia, all YouTube videos are from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Browne Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I like the way the handles close up with full touch. It appears to be difficult to order one from the website. Any clues to navigate that? Great fabrication... notice no welding used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gripmaniac Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 From the pic it appears to be an even higher quality knock-off of a Vulcan than the RB version. On a more serious note, the notches seem quite closely grouped - I wonder now much the increments are between settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db2000 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wonder if the close is closer to a torsion spring gripper? Or is it going to be exactly the same as a vulcan and the only difference is the knurling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegripmaster Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Wonder if the close is closer to a torsion spring gripper? Or is it going to be exactly the same as a vulcan and the only difference is the knurling? It uses a spring similar to Vulcan and all springs like that behave the same. So it won't mimic a TSG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnought Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Hello all.....I know this is an old post but I am curious if anyone else got one of these adjustable grippers? and what's your opinion?....I received one today....I gotta say its a nice S-M-O-O-T-H gripper....I have a Vulcan (series #1) adj gripper and a RB adj gripper.....and they are all very nice... but this Vatiz gripper also appears very well made...super smooth...has the same spread as a COC... nice, not too sharp knurling.....and with the 2 springs that come with it, can be adjusted from easy to damn impossible lol. It is also built very solid.... a stainless steel body ....no cheap stainless either....high nickel and chromium non magnetic stainless....the handles are aluminum. ...I can't say its better than the RB or the Vulcan but at $79.99 with free shipping from Amazon its another nice grip tool.

Yan_Wei Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Anyone know/have rgc ratings for the Vatiz? I have the gripper & heard level 10 is about CoC 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like train just 3 time by week I started a overcrush programm 3 set 15 s What do you think ? Thanks I've got the same gripper, in fact, it (with a color filter) is my profile picture. What's the highest level you can close? Last time I tried maybe 1-2 months ago, I TNS level 8, was a few milimeters from 9 and about half way on 10. I haven't used it recently, but I might try to close level 10 soon, as I've made gains (including grip-wise), but have used other tools & grippers like IronMind Tug (2 Finger Grippers).

It depends on your arms and how strong they are/were prior to training extensor and the muscles used for grippers. If you for example can do many pull ups and reverse curls among other exercises for the brachial muscles in your forearm, you'll progress well, but because I neglected the brachii, I couldn't progress because of the strength imbalance in my arms (my plateau lasted a while, like maybe 3 months or so). So always make sure to train wrists and all parts of the arms to prevent slow or stagnant growth, eat enough macros (protein, fat, carbohydrates & calories) and get enough rest, and you should be fine. My goal is to close something equivalent to a CoC 3/3.5 (maybe 165 rgc). But for training, I do sometimes overcrush (I guess you mean negative holds), but I like to TNS a lot, so I don't usually do mms or ccs etc. The IM Tug grippers help too, I recommend them and Expand Your Hand Bands (or regular rubber bands) for reverse extensor training to prevent golfers/tennis elbow related injuries (all about strength balance).

Aroostook Barbell Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I have owned one for about a year now. I love it. The knurling is very comfortable. Another thing I love about it is the 'upper' is very light. Feels good to work with. The spring stay put when you need it to, and is also very easy to move when you need to. Very glad I bought it. Just my two cents. For what it's worth I don't compete, so handle spacing isn't important to me, but it is a comfortable spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
