DuTCH Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 On the 25th of February the Hahnenbacher Grip Challenge will take place in Hahnenbach, Germany.

bencrush Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Sounds very cool! And the double gripper event should make things a bit more interesting. Although I bet the top guy with an MMS will most likely be the top guy with TNS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks for posting that info, Theo. Will be a cool contest. I can't compete, I'll visiting the swiss that weekend. I know quite sure who will win the bending event EASILY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) From the top of my head, Competitors: Martin Kotte Thorsten Moser Erik Franz Christoph Koch Theo Burggraaff Bencrush, this would be most likely. But right now i am pretty sure that the guy who wins grippers, won't win the no-set.. Edited January 26, 2006 by DuTCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Bencrush, this would be most likely. But right now i am pretty sure that the guy who wins grippers, won't win the no-set.. That honestly surprises me Theo. Unless it would be very close, it always seems that the great MMS closers would tend to have a great TNS close also.

FrankyBoy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I agree, Martin has a good chance to win the grippers but not the slightest chance (sorry Martin but the same is true for me) to win the no-set event which will be probably won by Eric or Theo.

DuTCH Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 A lot of persons neglect the sweep, and tend to do a lot of MMS closes. So that's why there are people who are actually not that good at no setting, but good at setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 So it starts on the 25th, and on what day does it finish? That's a lot of events! But it sure sounds like fun, and I bet endurance will factor in significantly. Nice lineup of competitors, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
