jvance Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Here's a question: Which feat is harder; closing a 180#+ coc3.5 with a no set or a mash monster set of a 200#+ coc4?? although this question is obviously aimed at the 3.5 and 4 closers - i am hoping that everyone can weigh in on this because i obviously wouldn't know however, without having done either, i would lean toward a 180# tns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I can't do either so I can't speak from experience but I have seen some top guys like Gabriel Sum and Teemul TNS a #3.5 and they weren't able to MMS a #4 (They were close). I don't know the ratings of the grippers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Maybe I'm biased toward a tns because it basically makes the gripper look like a play toy... Taking nothing away from big time mms closes of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Both have been done...just work there dude and make your own mind up! ...and would love to see your TNS Jvance even your CCS!? Just saw your strain on the 163 Elite...it was touch and go but I think you just had it! Edited December 29, 2012 by Autolupus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIGHTYSAXON Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 well i believe that magnus samuelsson in his hey day could've done both as well, but i think its on the same page because you can use momentum some for a tns to help a close, but a mms of a #4 you start the close at the 210# of the gripper where it is a progressive changhe to 180 eventually with a little momentum, but a greater range of motion. I think its close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
