Erdbeere Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 So, I have been a member a long time but I have not been very consistent in my griptraining. Recently I took up grippers again and today i managed to close my HG300. It is not calibrated but it is definitely harder than my RB210. What gripper would you guys consider to be the next step?

vikingsrule92 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It depends on gripper variance. Some good ones I could recommend (in order of difficulty) are: BBSM, RB240N, RB260N, and the BBGM and RB240 are probably a little above #3 level.

ewokhugo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 i agree with Derek:-) if u dont have a different brand besides hg or rb ,try a new coc or bb ... if u were u ... pick a brand new coc#3 and try to become mash monste level 0 .. thats i am plan to do soon:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdbeere Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Is the gap between HG300 and CoC #3 so large that I will need a CoC #2,5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Is the gap between HG300 and CoC #3 so large that I will need a CoC #2,5? Congrats on closing the HG300. I would guess that your hg300 is harder than a #2.5 given by the fact that most RB210 are harder than a #2.5 and with your hg300 being harder than your RB210, I guess that a 2.5 is weaker. The RB240N and 260N would be around the RB210 and a regular RB240 or RB260 are about #3 strength. So the best gripper I would go with is the BBSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the best gripper I would go with is the BBSM But my BBSM is a 2.4, well easier then my RB210 (2.6) so it varies. I'd say the 240N and 260N are fairly consistently above the RB210, with a harder crushdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) My 210 and 240 are 2.8's. My 260 isn't much easier than my perfect #3 and my 300N is a tad harder than my #3. A 240/260/GM are what I would suggest Edited April 27, 2008 by MalachiMcMullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdigriz Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 My SM is right where it should be, between a 2.5 and #3.Grippers vary but what the hell getting an SM cant hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Grippers vary so much, it is hard to say what yours are, and what you would get if your purchased something new. If I had to pick one, and it is a guess, the most likely odds of getting what you need (which is, I think, the closing of a gripper in the near or intermediate future, not "long term", that is harder than what you have already closed) would be a RB260N. I think it would be a 2.7 to 2.8, if it falls where it should. A GrandMaster is going to be, if typical, 2.9, a SuperMaster might be 2.4 to 2.7. Most "regular" RB 260's run at 3 or even a little tougher. My choices, in the following order for what you have described, are: 1. RB260N 2. RB240 (may be harder than 260N) 3. SuperMaster by Beef Builders (perhaps easier than 260N) 4. IM 2.5 (could be too close to your HG300 or RB210) 5. Stay away from GrandMaster, RB260 if you want immediate gratification of closing a more difficult gripper Hubgeezer Purchaser of over 25 different levels of grippers Certified Public Accountant Frequent Practitioner of SWAG (Sophisticated Wild Ass Guessing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubgeezer Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just look at the gripper ratings FAQ and select the next one down. The post he speaks of would be Post # 74, entitled "Gripper Ranking Updates". You will see that the chart, which is the best ever produced, is not consistent with your own experience. I have been living in the 2.5 to 3.0 World for 7 years. That being said, it is a complete Crapshoot. Study the chart, read the posts again, take your chances, spend your money.

Magnus Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) Is the gap between HG300 and CoC #3 so large that I will need a CoC #2,5? Most HG300's are slightly harder than an average CoC 2.5. I have a hard HG300 that's about a CoC 2.8-2.9. Considering that yours is already harder than your rb210, it's probably pretty close to a #3, so there's not much in between, unless you have an easy rb210. But, if it's just that hard, I would go for a CoC #3 , BBGM, or RB240. Edited April 27, 2008 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
