nockowt1 1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think Tex will be the first. I also think with enough coaching that Rich Williams could close some big grippers (mainly because of his big squeeze on the dyno). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Florian Kellersmann 306 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think closing an average, unoiled #4 out of package CCS is almost impossible. In my opinion there will never be somebody who certify on the #4. Hey Gabriel, what are you talking about? I was going to put your name on the list of the candidates Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lloyd80s 3 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Out of all the #4 close videos out there, which one has the widest set shown beofre the close? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjoe 395 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Out of all the #4 close videos out there, which one has the widest set shown beofre the close? It's been a while since I've watched my Joe Kinney video, but I believe his is the widest I've seen. Mighty Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Too Tall 120 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I received my new CoC #4 yesterday and wanted to try a MMS right out of the package. I closed it first try. I then calibrated the gripper and it came out to 205#. Is this correct for a new #4...I thought it would be higher. I do not train the CCS...but after this close...I will start.

jwils 0 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Awesome Chad, that is super impressive! - I hadn't put in my vote yet, I was gonna pick one of three - Paul, Teemu or Mob, but now I'd like to alter my vote to one of four Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too Tall 120 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Great job Chad! How far away are you from closing that #4 with your left? With an MMS...prolly around an 1/8" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twig 0 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Anyone mentioned Tommy yet? And Dave's back in training, apparently... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pdfk20 1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My vote is for Paul, after seeing the way he paused on the set with that #4, shows a special class for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmov 0 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 A #190'ish No.4 should be heading to Chad's place ~ it will be interesting to see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjoe 395 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Chad, Have you tried CCS at all with a #4? If so, how far do you get it? Mighty Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lifesnotfair 83 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I am saying this from memory, so I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that even after getting Chron's and losing like 20 pounds (of his already lean frame) Tommy was near TNS'ing the #3.5. Tommy is very good with wide sets, I bet if he tried really hard he could achieve this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
