Rick Walker Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 alright guys-explain this Sh#t! Got it tonight-heres the stats: Closure Torque (inch-pounds), [parallel handles/closed]: 311/387 Included Angle (degrees): 28+-2 Skew angle (degrees): 13+-1 Wind: LH I opened the packaged and managed a HARD, VERY HARD, fought full closure with both hands-no warmup, straight out of the bag. I am still a good half inch, maybe a little less, with my #3 COC. That thing is a mutated monster-but this PDA 387 is much harder then my #2 and will provide the inbetween to nail the #3. Hey #3 COC...I'm coming...... Rick Walker :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Euclid Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 The PDA grippers have a different feel to them than the IM's. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, the knurling is definately different though. All of my IM grippers squeak when closed, put my PDA doesn't. Good luck on the #3 Rick, it sounds like you're very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Sounds like you got a good gripper in terms of what you wanted / what you got, which is not my case. I tried my #3 today and got approx 3/16 with no warm up. 5 minutes later I tried my PDA 325 and almost got it. Last week, I received a 309 from Paul Valpreda and was hoping it was just a little less difficult than the 325. Forget it ! I did over 20 reps cold with the 309. 16 lbs of difference but a whole world of difficulty level. Anyway, good luck in your training and who knows, we might be in the same MILO.

Sybersnott Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Rick, I don't have a PDA gripper, so I couldn't tell ya. Could you muster to close that same gripper tomorrow, or the next day? If it's that easy, use it as a bridge to gap between the #2 and the #3 (kinda like a BBM). Can you shut it and HOLD it shut? If you can..... dang, that's pretty good!!
