greppstark Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 As topic. What is the heaviest rated gripper close used with a MMS set? I have a #4 that is rated at 216 pounds.. Could anyone in the world close this gripper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) The highest rated gripper close is by Andrew Durniat at 206 that I can think of. Anyone who has closed a ghp 9(two people) would be higher rated then that but not officially. I'm pretty sure the mm7 would rate higher also which two people have closed as well.

Maybe Nathan Holle would play with my #4 as he closed ghp9 with a 1.5" block set. Edited July 20, 2015 by Simon Norevi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Newbie question here: What is the limit for a MMS? I guess it's right above parallel? Or does it need to be larger? I'm very sure that "many" people can close a lot harder grippers and have done so with a parallel set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alawadhi Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Andrew did it with a block set which is harder. His MMS is way more surely. Juha closed a 214 rated one if I am not mistaken. Definitely more than a 206. I guess anyone who can close a GhP will close your 4. Vano, Cancrusher and Nathan Holle (who REPPED a 4 7 times). Probably any MMG7 closure AKA Paul Knight and Tim Struse who repped a #4 3 times and the fourth rep was less than 1 mm away. And yeah that bear Romanian guy who almost certed on the 4 and MMSed a 4 with a big loud click and grind(video on youtube for all and every close I mentioned). Dave Morton at his best repped his 205 4 for 4 small reps so I would put him up there to close your 216 CoC #4 Edited July 20, 2015 by Alawadhi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However almost all of these feats were done years ago. Most of these guys are not actively pursuing big gripper closes at this time. So how many guys are currently able to do this??

1stCoC Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The "random " 4 we hung on display wall is light years harder than the 3.5 or any 4s I have felt. It Rice tested at 224 and Rich and Tex "in shape" really couldn't do much of anything with it. By chance it might have been a "bridge too far feeling "since they never for what I have seen messed with any other 4s. With the Phantom which they did try with present rules had proved as well no luck when they were clicking the 3.5 shut and certed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
