itch85 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Just got my BB Master and Super Master, just wondering how hard would you rate the SM is to the #2. The SM i just bought is quite a bit harder than my 2004 #2 is this usual even tho its only ment to be 5lbs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 The sm's Ive tried are closer to a #3 then a #2. Most say around a 2.7 or so. Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryg Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I would rate my BB SM a 2.5!It is right inbetween my coc#2 and coc#3,my BB M is a little bit easier than my coc#2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itch85 Posted October 9, 2004 Author Share Posted October 9, 2004 so it will be a nice inbetween gripper then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I got my BB SM about 4 months ago for just that very reason of being a good inbetween gripper and I'd say it's right on the mark. mine feels about 2.6-2.7ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Itch, another variable with the SM grippers is the inside handle width. Let me explain. I've had a 2.5" SM, 2.75" SM, and one that was @ 3" SM. The 2.5" was about a 2.3 at most. The 2.75" SM (Cert SM) is probably a 2.6 or so. The @ 3" SM is definitely closer to the 2.8+ range. So in my experience, the narrower the SM, the easier it will feel at the close. It's a good reason to order many widths of the same strength Tetting grippers.

itch85 Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 yeah i might in the future my gripper collection is growing by the month now as i start to close more and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaz Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I found the SM that I have is definitely a 2.6, but that varies alot gripper to gripper. If you want in-betweeners those HG grippers are another option. Cheap, have a cheaty close sweep, but on the downside have faggy smooth handles.

bencrush Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Congrats on the Master close. And good luck with the credit card set and no set close of it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersqueeze Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 My SM is a custom narrow model and it is a perfect between gripper. Right around 2.4-2.6. Mike M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
