dubyagrip Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Gripzilla reached out after I made a video slamming their 300lb gripper. They had some made with the 350lb spring, but they've never mass produced or sold them. They sent me one, and @Cannon rated it to be 195 RGC. Now that my hand is healthy and the Arnold is over, I decided to finally try closing it. I measure it and explain some more after the, "advertising," so watch the whole thing. I still won't endorse their stuff, but like I said in the video, if these would get someone into training, I'm all for it. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like narrow grippers for training crush strength, just not for prepping for certs and comps, because of the setting being easier. I'd consider the next one down from that if they make one around 170. 195 is beyond me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 It was pretty cool of them to send you one to try. Good business sense to do that. They might sell a few more grippers and thus more than cover the cost of sending you one, but they will also spread their name around a little and that can have a longer term positive effect for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gripzilla is a Grip Genie, Powerball reskin. All the same manufacturer. So the Grip Genie data will be relevant. We’ve had GG6 go up to 207. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtwpg Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I saw your 300lb video, searching around I wasn't able to find a typical RGC for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those average around 150 RGC, but I never had the one in the video rated. I gave it away to a friend, so we will never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
