Andrew P Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 List of competitors. "Thanks guys this helps out a ton when I know who's coming" Steve Pekarskiy ? Kody Burns Jeff Parker Chris Gallagher Matt ?? Darrin Shallman You guys that have been to my place. At what point are we going to get crowded and should look into moving the location? Don Larkin's would be my first pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knyaz Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The hub rules for King Kong Are 3 fingers only thumb index middle ? As far as I can remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJM Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The hub rules for King Kong Are 3 fingers only thumb index middle ? As far as I can remember "Only the Hub is to be grasped. To keep this lift within the spirit of the Hub Lift (proper ‘claw’ style), only the fingertips of the thumb, index and middle fingers are to grasp the Hub. The fingertips are the distal phalanges. The other two fingers may oppose, or not be on at all. These are the fingers that grasp slightly slanted." From world of grip rules page. Bolding is mine.

Andrew P Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 You can use all 5 fingers or you can use just the three. I use all 5 but Dave Thorton is stronger only using three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
