      If you handed someone a gripper who has never trained it and told them to close it they would always attempt to do a TNS with the back handle way down their thumb pad. Most people cant close a #1 first try because they dont know about setting it. Teach people to set a gripper and they smash it. I took my grippers to a weightlifting gym a few years ago and had everyone attempt it. They all failed a coc#1. Then I showed them how to set the gripper, almost all of them closed it immediately afterwards. They all failed on the coc#2 with the closest being a few mm off. Granted the coc#2 they used rates in the 110's (ballpark estimate from how easy my 98 coc#2 feels). If I had handed them an average #2 a few would have closed it. A #2 in my opinion is what I consider average. (100 rgc)

      Only about half of the total 3 certs have been done with CCS due to  multiple rule changes over time. The others are basically parallel certs on a gripper already broken in through training. Doing CCS on a brand new gripper fresh out of the package is completely different. There's so many factors that go into what someone's starting gripper is though that I don't think this figure means a lot, I generally just say what's on CPW website which states basically 45-70 rgc for untrained vs trained, which I still think are insane numbers I started with a brand new coc 2.5 (not even broken in from CPW, from rogue website) which later rated 127 which I did TNS because I didn't know about setting for a long time, then got a 3 a while later and almost TNS'd it until I tried setting it, and did CCS my first time trying setting a 3; this one also wasn't a CPW broken in gripper but later ended up rating 147. And 2 years 9 months later CCS 173 and GHP block 180. Had I known anything about setting, or had a 3 on my first day trying I'm confident I could have closed a 3 on my first day, so then I would a different answer, this is why I don't think people's starting numbers mean much
