aeroman Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 My 15 year old son who almost never trains, or touches a gripper, easily closed my filed #1 yesterday. I'm not sure if I am proud or jealous. I have piqued his interest in bending nails however. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bri Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 that's incredible! i didn't close the #1 until i was 16 and neither was it filed nor was it an easy close. that kid's gonna be a strong dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'll have to show my son this post. He's 16 and still trying at the #1. Maybe this will put a flame under his ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 A #2 will wipe away that smug grin. Actually, tell him congratulations for me. That's darn impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's darn impressive! ← He'll be closer than a lot of us were at #2 at that age. I had my #1 closed at 16...not a filed one And it took me 3 years to close the #2 (with a almost parallel set...now I can get it parallel...just saying...) Point is, took me 3 years, training off and on like a wienerhead loser...Franky and Dan and Chris know how I "train" -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennisDude Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Franky and Dan and Chris know how I "train" Lies. Only I know. He trains to prepare for the ring. The ring is all powerful, and if it falls into the wrong hands...

I've never had the oppurtunity to close a smooth gripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capgripguy Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have to say nice goals there. I'm 17 and trying to close the #3 before I hit 18. Right now I can close a RB 240 Narrow and I do overcrushes with a filed way down #2. I don't know about the #4 before 18 man. That would be something cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
