Broly Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Saw a post on another forum of someone who put a fish eye hook into softballs and used them for pullups, looked pretty intense so decided to try it myself and it turned out to be a great open hand strength tool. Was just wondering if anyone else here has tried that and if so how many pullups could you do? I only made them yesterday and did only a few to make sure they were strong enough to not rip out.

1stCoC Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 We have made them for years have metal ones as well with lat pull down bars, and bolt on rack grip balls with ball ends too. I would caution you the balls of different quality have different core materials.In some cases the screw eye can and does pull out!RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I made one a while back. I only have one so I don't do pullups with it but hook it to mt loading pin and so lifts with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryg Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Ryan Pitts @ Strongergrip sells the Grip Balls for $16.99, not a bad price and you don't have to worry about the screw eye pulling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33wes Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 They're a solid tool for one-hand deadlifts, as they work the thumbs really well. I believe curling with them will be my next experiment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking for them and am stuck between the sizes to order. As far as pullups for an average size hand, what are people using?
