EricMilfeld Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 You should have your gripper in 5 - 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTHOS Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The gripper came yesterday and this morning I did my attempts... Clear misses all three of them. That last 2mms made their job and finally they beat me. So close... I'll checked the video a hundred times(!) and it's not worthy of sending it. The gripper is on its way to Eric.

Manthos- Sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to me. At least now you know what the MM1 feels like, and you know exactly how to train for it.

Cannon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Man! I have to say that the MM1 is on a roll. Good effort Manthos. You will close this gripper with time, no doubt. I'm convinced that you need to be consistent on a 160+ gripper to be confident on the MM1. I'm not necessarily on board with the "MM1 is like a hard #3" thought process. It's a good step above any #3 I've closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good step above any #3 I've closed. I agree totally. The MM1 definitely felt a bit tougher than any of the hard #3's I've tried. Next time around, all three of us will smash that thing!

Shoggoth Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Sorry to hear this to Manthos. This is just scarin' the hell out of my and upping the prep for it! You'll nail it soon enough big guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Sorry to hear it Manthos. Those last couple millimeters are very tough. It's a sneaky gripper. Seems like a slightly above average #3 for the set and sweep, but really binds up at the end. I have no doubt you will conquer this gripper in the near future Manthos!!!

Magnus Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Sorry to hear that. Last 2mm is a surprising contrast from the sweep. Get your #3, work mainly in the last cm for a little while, and hit it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yes, the last millimeters make the MM1 a nice gripper above average #3s. When I did my cert I thought 'wow easy' during the sweep but after it closed I decided against repping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sweep is very smooth on that gripper and it really binds up right at the close. You'll smash it for sure next time, buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
