Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Sam, have you rated any heavy grips? Id like to see what your 250 or 300 comes out at if you have one! I have a 250 so will rate it tonight, i don't have a 300 unfortunately Josh That's the one I'm most interested in anyways as I feel as if mines around 110lbs, the 250 I mean. mine is 116 lbs rated by CPW, it feels easier than the Tetting 116 I think, if I'm not mistaken the spread is narrower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 my xfitness 250 is 119 lbs. I think all these cheaper brands when they say 250 lbs it means 115-120 lbs RGC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) the GNC 250 is an exception rated 150lbs, it feels very stiff to me once I get it to parallel Edited June 22, 2015 by Evan Raftopoulos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my equipment south of the gripper handles equals 2.2lbs so my ratings want to be #2 lower and will update when I'm at a computer. Matt so my ratings are the same as yours but the elite is a few #'s higher still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All purchased from and rated by CPW Dave yes, I don't think the average for Elites is 166 anymore as posted here http://cannonpowerworks.com/pages/grip-strength-ratings-data also an observation: the super elite and grand elite seem to be often rated about the same, it's not a reasonable progression. Not that I can close those, just an observation. Up to grand master the progression seems to be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) for those who know more about grippers: can you estimate the rating of the gripper in the making let's say within 10 lbs RGC? are there any other variables besides mounting depth, spread, and spring?

Sam Radford Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Managed to get my RGC system setup to rate my own grippers using a crane scale and hand winch and works really good and better than using weights!! Just seem to be higher by a few #'s compared to CPW. I'm using a 1" strap and ensure the handles don't touch the vertical supports and pre oil the gripper before calibrating . . . any other suggestions? Here are my results below; 029 IM Guide 058 IM Trainer 079 IM #1 088 IM #1.5 105 IM #2 129 IM #2.5 130 IM #2.5 132 WT SM (CPW Rated 130) 147 IM #3 (MM0 Cert Gripper) 152 WT GM (CPW Rated 149) 156 IM #3 175 WT E (CPW Rated 170) 182 IM #3.5 So re assessing my calibration, my loop strap, setting width block, crane scales with s hook and carabiner and hook from the hand winch came to over 2lb so below are the update results which are more in line with my ones from CPW which I feel better about; 027 IM Guide 056 IM Trainer 077 IM #1 086 IM #1.5 103 IM #2 121 HG250 127 IM #2.5 128 IM #2.5 130 WT SM (CPW Rated 130) 145 IM #3 (MM0 Cert Gripper) 150 WT GM (CPW Rated 149) 154 IM #3 173 WT E (CPW Rated 170) 180 IM #3.5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Those look a lot better! You need something to fill 131-144 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Radford Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Those look a lot better! You need something to fill 131-144 I know lol, its a hard range to fill but might purchase some #3's and rate them. If they don't fit this range put them on ebay and hopefully get somewhere near what I paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yeah if not then the spectrum from CPW will sort you out for that range matee. You might be lucky and find a 138-140 #3 though you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure would but i'm not a great fan of the Baraban grippers and the way they feel, had a couple but ended up selling them as could get use to the knurl (too smooth for me) Have yours arrived from CPW yet?

If they don't fit this range put them on ebay and hopefully get somewhere near what I paid. this is very tempting, imagine having 19 CoC3s for every 1 lb increment from 138 -156 ( keep buying and selling until you get there).

What brand of grippers do you prefer? The Baraban grippers I own has really aggressive knurling, much more aggressive than Ironmind grippers.

I do prefer the Ironmind or Tetting, the Baraban's i had (180 & 210) were in a new condition but the knurling was too smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats really strange. The RB210 I have has much more aggressive knurling than all my IM grippers, actually it's a huge difference, it really grinds in your hand, I get a much better grip with it but it does also have a wider spread than all the COC's I have and it's a little bit harder to close than the COC#2.5 I have. Tomorrow I will pick up 12 more RB grippers plus the RB adjustable gripper. I'll then have around 30 grippers in total. I will to try to weld something together so I can do som RGC. If I succeed I will post the results here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't fit this range put them on ebay and hopefully get somewhere near what I paid. btw another option is to get a Silvis adjustable, since you have an RGC you can rate it and mark the handles at 131 and 144 so then you can easily work in that range.

GrassMaine89 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Anybody bought a new GM? I looked through this a little but didn't find any specific information about the newer GM's. I know the Elites and SM have been high. I have been trying to find something around 157 to 160, thought maybe a newer GM would hit that range.
