Finnish Ball for pinch grip substitute?

Hi, 

I feel like I might be missing pinch grip work in my routine. I was wondering if anyone thinks using a Finnish ball would be an acceptable substitute for a Pony Pinch or a Telegraph Key when it comes to pinch training since the Finnish ball lift grip is somewhat similar.

No, the finnish ball is a key pinch style grip.  You should train it, but it won't train your actual pinch grip at all.

Thanks. I also might be confusing my terminology.

So Finnish ball is a key pinch. Does key pinch strength help with setting a gripper? 

When we say non-key or just general “pinch” that’s more like the Ironmind block, right?

Finnish ball won't translate to grippers much at all.

Yes, key pinch refers to things like inch pinch, finnish ball, coin lifts, etc., things you grab between the thumb and index finger.  Pinch grip, in broad terms, refers to the Ironmind block, saxon bar, the flask, blobs, etc.,

芬兰球根本不会转化为抓手。

是的,关键捏指的是英寸捏、芬兰球、硬币升降机等,即您在拇指和食指之间抓住的东西。广义上的捏握是指 Ironmind 块、撒克逊棒、烧瓶、斑点等,

What other grip training can translate to grippers?

Pinch grip seems cooperate with my gripper training.  Thickbar does not.
