william Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) I am considering purchase of a couple of the Warren Tetting Beef Builders with 5/8" handles for training my close, and I wondered what other people think of them? I like the resistance my current grippers give so don't want to shave them, and buying a couple of new grippers to shave would cost me the same $40ish. I will opt for the best BTR training device. Opinions? I found this topic difficult to locate because 5/8" seems to be too short (or poorly worded by me) for the searching feature, so please forgive me if I missed an existing thread. Thank-you all. Edited August 30, 2009 by william Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Absolutely love them. In my opinion, a filed gripper doesn't even compare. These feel so much further beyond the range than any gripper I have personally filed. Work out with these for a while and when you go back to regular grippers, the handles feel just-had-thanksgiving-dinner FAT. Go with the 5/8" grippers!

gripmaniac Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Having just acquired a couple of FBBC grippers with 5/8" handles I can say I'm a big fan of them. Ok, they are smooth (no knurling) and the spread on my 3X is wider than a "normal" gripper - but the actual handle diameter makes for a pleasing change to the standard 3/4". I've noticed I need to use a slightly different hand positioning (a bit like when doing TNS attempts. . . .not quite in the familiar groove). I honestly reckon training with 5/8" handles will make a difference to improving my crushing strength. . . . and as a result enhance my ability to close 3/4" handle grippers.
