Mike Rinderle Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Handle has a very slick enamel coating and spins similar to a crusher. Won't hold chalk and is 2.5" in diameter. I love it. Hoping it equates to a big PR next time I get my hands on a Crusher. Here's my PR from today. 165.8 on snot handle 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 The Whisperer is good for 20 lbs on any lift! I tried chalk on this thing and it just slipped right out of my hand with 155. It's literally enamel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It spins really freely too. I'm thinking that you would get 10-15lb more on a seasoned crusher. Plus, it was only $30 shipped. Titan's prices are ridiculously low for the quality. Not sure how the stay in business. #winning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free shipping on stuff like an axle bar which is usually $30+ to ship anywhere is unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a General Manager for a large logistics company. We would charge more than $49 to deliver that within 100 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Maybe it's some billionaire who is pissed off at the industry who said, fork the money, lets price everything so low it hurts all of the big companies like ROGUE, IM, Elitefts, etc. Stranger things have happened.

It would be even cheaper for them (and better for us) to leave it as bare metal. Edited May 14, 2018 by FrankD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do your numbers compare on this to a 2.5 crusher or rolling thunder, Frank? I've only ever touched those a few times in contests. Tough for me to gauge. I would think, the slippery coating makes this tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever touched those a few times in contests. Tough for me to gauge. I would think, the slippery coating makes this tougher. Yes, the slippery definitely coating makes it harder for me. It doesn't hold very much chalk if any, while my 2.5" FBBC Crusher chalks up nicely. The handle on the FBBC handle is nicely seasoned, with rust-patina look and feel to it. They season pretty quickly just with regular use. I was thinking about taking the coat off the Titan Fitness handle, but then again, it could be a good training tool for the actual 2.5" Crusher. As far as comparison, Mike, I would estimate the slick Titan handle takes a good 8-12 lbs off what I could do with my 2.5" crusher. The RT doesn't chalk very well either, but I can lift much more on that, than either of the 2.5" handles, simply due to the smaller diameter. I don't have the newest RT, which I hear is harder than older RT models- just to make things even more confusing! I have the one that was made around 2012. I'd be happy to loan you any of these if you want to do a comparison. Just let me know! Edited May 14, 2018 by FrankD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
