MurrayStrongman Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 This may have been asked before, if so, sorry. I couldn't find anything on google or skimming through older posts. Just learned about GHP grippers through joining Grip Board and I was wondering how they stacked up to CoC. I know that the MM0 cert is a CoC #3 or a GHP #7 so I'm guessing this means that the two are comparable. How do the GHP 8-10 stack up against the CoC 3.5 and 4?

Fist of Fury Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If you don't already know you should learn about RGC, which is the method used in grip sport to calibrate grippers. You can find rating data on cannonpowerworks.com, he's rated thousands of grippers, so there you can see how many different brands stack up against each other in terms of resistance. Then there's other things that factors in how difficult a gripper is to close, two grippers with the exact same rating can feel very different. It depends on the spread of the handles, type of knurling. thickness of the handles etc. GHP and Tetting have sharper knurling than COC. GHP is usually harder through the whole ROM than COC and Tetting but this varies from gripper to gripper so it's not always true. Some people think that GHP are harder because of the usually tougher sweep but some people think they are easier because they have sharper knurling, so they sit better in the hand. Another good thing with GHP (except from the high quality) is that the edges of the handles have a slight bevel, so they are not as sharp on your hands like most other grippers are. This can make them a little bit harder to judge though, if it's a close call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh O'Dell Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ghp8-3.5 Ghp9-coc4, Ghp seem to vary more and from what i have seen and read the Ghp9 is harder than the 4. I have closed a few ghp8's and one 3.5. I think the Ghp's are stiffer threw the hole close but smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Give this a read: https://cannonpowerworks.com/pages/ratings Then check this out for the average ratings for various models of grippers: https://cannonpowerworks.com/pages/grip-strength-ratings-data 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McMurren Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have a couple GHPs in Waterloo if you ever want to make the drive down to train. I have a 7 rated at 150, also have the MM at 152 and an MM2 at 164 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can make them a little bit harder to judge though, if it's a close call. I meant to say that the edges are rounded off, so they are smoother. GHP grippers are really nice, as for the GHP challenge you can get on there easy if you want since COC cert are more difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Can't go wrong with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 1 hour ago, Justin Matney said: Can't go wrong with either. Agreed. To me the biggest reason to get either is to fill the appropriate gap in your gripper progression. For example, good luck finding a 160s IM gripper. But GHP8s will go in the 160s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Ghp5 may not be much harder than a coc2, look at the baraban spectrums around 120 rgc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royz Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I really like GHP's! For me the close on a GHP feels smoother than the coc's . The coc's seem to ramp up a bit more towards the end of the close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
