Jörg Keilbach Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have both of them, but without the extension handle. I also got two for beyond the range training. I like them a lot. I would part of one if somebody wants it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Jorg, did you mean that you got two in order to only file one? I have an RB Adjustable as well. I only wish the handles were the same diameter as an Ironmind gripper. I've been tempted to file down one or both handles, but with the chrome and all I felt like I'd make a mess of it. May I ask how you got such a nice looking file job done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel_AUT Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 When buying from Mr. Baraban personally, you can talk with him about modifications. He made one of his gripper with extended handel, little bit more expensive but no problem that he does such things. Ok as he is also from Austria and lives around 4 hours by car from me, it´s was no great deal. He also called my by phone to talk about the things i wanted to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route666 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He is a nice guy! I also have the same adjustable as Jörg has. 80% of my grip tools are from Baraban, because I live in Sweden. I'm truly satisfied with these Products. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could choose I'd choose one with an ext handle but without the finger grooves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could choose I'd choose one with an ext handle but without the finger grooves I understand what you mean and agree with you. I didn't notice that my pinky would be on the thicker spot before I buy this gripper. I usually held the handle a bit higher than normal TSG to solve this problem, but I also felt a bit uncomfortable so I bought Secret Weapon for severe negative. Right now I use this gripper as a Set training or Warmup gripper. Actually this was my first gripper so I didn't even know how to train with it effectively and now if I could I would rather have one without finger grooves, yes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like this, but i love the custom made with the filed handles. I bought a lot of stuff from him. I also bought the Secret Weapon. But i have not used it till now. I want to save negatives for a later stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route666 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Jörg,that sounds really good. I also like filed ver. much better than ext ver. BTW, I really like your log and great gym. Since I'm not good at English, I only read it but I look forward to next one:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broly Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I've got the chrome adjustable with extender handle (with grooves) - the grooves actually feel nice to roll in the gripper on harder sets. Below is a video review I did when I first got it. https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=X1RuU1WxH1U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Stupid question... So the RB adjustable is symmetrical, right? Like the 2-3 setting could go either way as long as, overall, the spring is on notches 2 and 3..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broly Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Completely Symmetrical, 2-3 would be the same level as 3-2 and the same in either hand, it's really a great addition, I use it for negatives mostly but probably not as much as I should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPW is going to be carrying a base model version. Zinc-plated gripper, black bare spring. We feel that is the best price point and a total workhorse with no lost functionality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 to appreciate even more the small gaps on this gripper I combined the data. This also helps to use as a reference when you are training as it's hard to remember all this. I don't know RGC values when combining the two springs which gives even more possibilities 1-1 = 25 lbs (weak spring)1-2 = 29 lbs (weak spring)2-2 = 32 lbs (weak spring)2-3 = 36 lbs (weak spring)3-3 = 39 lbs (weak spring)3-4 = 44 lbs (weak spring)4-4 = 48 lbs (weak spring)4-5 = 51 lbs (weak spring)5-5 = 57 lbs (weak spring)5-6 = 60 lbs (weak spring)1-1 = 62 lbs (hard spring)6-6 = 67 lbs (weak spring)1-2 = 69 lbs (hard spring)6-7 = 72 lbs (weak spring)2-2 = 77 lbs (hard spring)7-7 = 78 lbs (weak spring)7-8 = 83 lbs (weak spring)2-3 = 87 lbs (hard spring)8-8 = 89 lbs (weak spring)8-9 = 93 lbs (weak spring)3-3 = 95 lbs (hard spring)9-9 = 99 lbs (weak spring)9-10= 104 lbs (weak spring)3-4 = 105 lbs (hard spring)10-10 = 112 lbs (weak spring)4-4 = 115 lbs (hard spring)4-5 = 126 lbs (hard spring)5-5 = 137 lbs (hard spring)5-6 = 147 lbs (hard spring)6-6 = 160 lbs (hard spring)6-7 = 169 lbs (hard spring)7-7 = 181 lbs (hard spring)7-8 = 194 lbs (hard spring)8-8 = 204 lbs (hard spring)8-9 = 214 lbs (hard spring)9-9 = 229 lbs (hard spring)9-10= 241 lbs (hard spring)10-10= 252 lbs (hard spring) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply!I'm surprised that you noticed it!! Since sweep of adjustable is harder than TSG's, so I used it and felt much better than without it when I did negative :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
