Geralt Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 He champs, what gripper would you guys recommend as a let´s say 3.2 gripper? To work effectively on my MM set in mastering the #3 CCS, I´m looking for a gripper just above #3, the #3.5 is just a bit to heavy, and only doing negatives takes a bit to much of my recovery. I have a Vulcan, but I´m struggling to find the best setting, which is a bit hard, the feeling/carryover is somewhat different. Would a MM1 replica be an idea?

Cannon Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Atomgripz Quad bands are consistently in the 160s. Another good choice would be an MM2 replica. (BBE at 3/16" mount). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 MM2 replica should be between them, a 330N should work too if you are just wanting to work the bottom end I really like my 330N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I went BB elite (slightly harder than MM2) when getting something between those two. For me it was a proper choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdfk20 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 MM2 Replica all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks guys, appreciate it. Guess the MM2 will be the next choice than... Reached a plateau and need a change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 My MM1 rated at 159 and my MM2 at 164. If you want just above a #3, the MM1 is what you want. I just got a quad band and it's a beast compared the the MM grippers I mentioned. Matt, are you still rating grippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Atomgripz Quad bands are consistently in the 160s. Another good choice would be an MM2 replica. (BBE at 3/16" mount). I'd do the Atomgripz Quad Band - but not the narrow Quad Band. Get the wider ones because they can hit 3" and that will help you a lot on the set.

Malice Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'd recommend a quad band. My BBE is actually rates 178 rgc which is harder than my 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys, but I got a PM from Hubgeezer.. He has an interesting MM2 offer. Think I'm going for that one... It should fit my wishes very good. Problem is around here in Europe, that there's not a lot of opportunity here for trading or lending to see what gripper feels right. PS Also the quad band option sounds good...totally no experience with those gripper. See mentioned above. Only experience I have are the IM's and my Vulcan. Oh and some crappy sportsstore grippers but somehow I have this feeling that those plastic ones aren't going to get the job done in closing my #3 CCS Edited July 3, 2011 by Geralt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTvG Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi Geralt, I have the quadband and the mm2 too. My quad feels slightly easier than my 3, but that's certainly because of the knurling. I have the sharp knurled one, and that makes a big difference, it sticks like glue to the hand. My mirror finish quad for example, feels absolutely impossible to close! The mm2 feels somewhere in between my 3 and 3.5, knurling is also comparable. My RB300 feels also in that region, but it's more to the 3.5 than in between. You're welcome to test them when you're in the neighbourhood! Cheers, RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make a friend named Twig. Fellow lives in England somewhere and, as far as I know, has hundreds of grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the setting of the four band with that three inch spread that makes it more of a beast in comparison. Used it again fresh and handled it better; made me realize I've been neglecting that aspect while getting ready for the MM1. Geralt, definitely get an Atomgripz sometime, very nice grippers.

Geralt Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks guys, I'll be certainly putting them on my wanted list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
