viper Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I think I'll cut 2/3" off the bottom of this thing. It's gotten to the point where I can mash this thing in my sleep! i think ive actually done that! i seriously woke up with my hg300 in my hand a week or so back i wasnt too happy when i got the 300, id read it was pretty hard, fairly close to a #3 an all - sure, its a good bit harder than me #2, but its not even close to my #3 - ive got the thing for 14 ccs reps, an ive hardly used it Quote http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=savvy22
PowerHouse Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) ive got the thing for 14 ccs reps, an ive hardly used it I'd love to see that sometime Viper, it would be a great inspiration if I could see you CCS an HG300 14 times -Matt Edited June 18, 2006 by PowerHouse Quote Goals: To be stronger then I was last week.

OldGuy Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 HG grippers are very poor quality. I advise people to avoid buying them. Quote Not afraid to ruffle feathers!

Alawadhi Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 the COC and the RB are better than HG. Quote Read about me in my biography.

Mlstrass Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 HG's are a decent "budget" gripper, but not in the same league as the other ones mentioned. Not only did mine lose MAJOR spread after use, they also feel spongy or mushy when doing closes. Although I use a filed HG200 for strapholds as it's the only one that's held up reasonably well. It's like a 1.3 compared to MY #1. Quote
Dude Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 HG grippers are very poor quality. I advise people to avoid buying them. Cosgin. The only HG I've ever bought was an HG300 and it seasoned down to a 2" spread and is easier than my IM #2. Maybe it was a anamoly in the batch but I don't have the budget to try and find out.

Yes, the batch of steel they use isn't actually steel( Found out when I snapped my HG250). If your 300 seasons like that, try filing the inside of the handle. My 300 had a 2 1/4" spread, but after I filed it, it's only a hair easier then my GR8 #3. Quote CCS 2005 #3: Done! 20 Reps on #3: PR! Get #3 Cert: Pending..... BBE Cert: Done!
viper Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 i dont agree with all this bad mouthing of the hg's from my experience - i dont agree with this narrow spread thing they got going on either, but they dont seem to be bad grippers - my 250 is around the same as my #2, an the 300 is a good ways harder Quote http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=savvy22
