Chez vs The MM8: Whatever it takes


Chez

Recommended Posts

I think a pro is .331? And a no.4 .311 as well as a GHP 9

pro .309, CoC #4 .292, GHP9 .292...if my doohickey is at all accurate.

I think Slazbob is correct about the COC #4 and therefore also the GHP 9 since I recently measured a COC #4 at .311 (Jedd's older model) and a GHP 8 (my recent off hand close) which came out to .292. If the Pro really is .331 its too big to fit. I'll have to go with a #4 or GHP 9. there will be an extra .07-.08 of wiggle room. I'll probably go with the GHP 9 since they are usually a little tougher and wider.

Chez...after checking and rechecking 3 times (including exchanging batteries) and getting the same numbers, I decided to research further. Wade's site confirms the .312 for GHP9.

I'm forced to conclude my doohickey is a piece of shit. This explains why my all my drillrod diameters have been so far off. Better to know now than later. To the trash can...will haste!

not sure since I have never taken apart a regular gripper before. There are old posts on how to take apart one though. This is definitely worth buying a GHP 9 to try. If it works, this is a game changer. If it doesn't, I'm out 30 bucks.

Thanks for the vid and rating Josh. Sorry I'm late to respond. I went away for the weekend and I'm crazy busy this week.

I have been working out, but no time to update the log. I'll update all my workouts this weekend.

I'm about 6 workouts behind in the log. I plan on updating all of them tomorrow but tonight I hit a huge PR 20 MM Block Set grippers Right hand (185.8 lb RGC MM3 Replica). I always drop down on the 20 mm Block Set because of the paused set. Felling strong!

Keep it going bud. :sorcerer:

Thanks guys. I was actually pretty shocked since I rarely train block set but I'm hosting a comp this summer and its the first event so I'll be throwing it in to get the technique down. I'm hoping to close my MM5 Replica by the comp. That would be pretty freaking sweet with a 20 MM block set.

Anyone one reading this thread is welcomed to come to the comp: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=42009
