familia5az Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ive been reading and watching numerous videos on how to set a gripper. Which is the hardest and most respected way of closing a gripper? TNS? My focus has been to pick up the gripper and just try to close it without trying to figure out ways to assist or cheat close the gripper.

MIGHTYSAXON Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 yes a no set is the hardest way to close a gripper. setting the gripper takes a lot of work don't get me wrong, but to close a gripper without an assisted set is the true test of closing strength.

acorn Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 familia5az, You should come out to the AZ Cactus Grip comp this weekend. I noticed you are also in Tucson. You will learn more in a few hours than a year of training on your own. http://www.az-grip.com/contests.php - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
