Guest Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Just curious about how long it takes for a gripper to become "seasoned", and once a gripper gets there, does it stay at a constant strength or constantly get easier? I'm finding it hard to tell if I'm getting stronger, or if the grippers are just getting weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Browne Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 John Szimanski from PDA told me that about 75 closures will season a gripper. PDA; when they were doing gripper calibrations, would close grippers 100 times to give seasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitleyd Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 how much of a difference does it make if a gripper is seasoned? i have only ever mashed mine, so i got nothing to compare to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffhans Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 i was just thinking, how awesome it would be to be the man who has seasoned his #4, or world class bb! wow :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 ruffhans, My #4 IS seasoned. But I didn't do it. John Szimanski of PDA did it for me in his seasoning press. I got it back thinking it would be easier now that it's seasoned. Nope. It's still like a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffhans Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 im wondering about getting my CoCs checked out. for the poundage that is. ive been reading that people can send them in and get em tested. how much does it cost?, how long does it take?, and has everyone here done it? i guess it realy dont matter, but i would like to know if im strong, or weak! :p all my CoCs are double stamped, if that means anything. i tried the old (pressing them agianst the scale) awhile back. the only one i could do was the trainer. that is a haaaaard task! i kept rolling it over my knuckles! one time it rang in at 68 lbs, and another time it rang in at 112 lbs. any advise, grip buds?
