Bill Piche Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Here's the crew. MMG1, MMG2, MMG3. http://www.cyberpump.com/gripboard/index.p...&cmd=si&img=266 MMG3 certs will open after we get a few guys cert'd at the MMG2 level. It's perfect IMO. Thanks to Jeff and Warren. To be honest, I really believe there are 3 main factors involved and we've zoomed right in on them. 1. Wire size. 2. Same wire batch, made back to back. 3. Distance from top of handles to bottom of spring. 4. Same guy doing the making of the grippers so the wound is done consistent. Of course the handle distance has to be spec'd and consistent. The MMG's are all 2.75". The MMG3 is a .306 wire with 1/4" mounting. So, if you want Warren to make you a copy, that's what you need to tell him. And, 2.75 between the handles.

FbaLLPlaya_53 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Wanna, Is the Level 3 going to be around a 3.7 or so? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 Wanna,Is the Level 3 going to be around a 3.7 or so? Thanks in advance. 3.7 what? This number is meaningless as you are trying to compare it to a moving target (what is a 3 anyway?). The MMG3 is harder than than MMG2. It is what it is. It's a .306 size spring, etc. as I described above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 Wanna,Is the Level 3 going to be around a 3.7 or so? Thanks in advance. Also, it's not "is it going to be". The MMG3 grippers are made. There is one in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Wanna,Is the Level 3 going to be around a 3.7 or so? Thanks in advance. I ordered Heath one of these things quite a while back. He said it would probably be level 3. He said it's about a 3.6 or so. PM him for some details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heath was good enough to buy what we thought would be good for the MMG3. He was right on the money as usual. That's why I call him THE CALIBRATOR!

markkodya Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Wanna, Will there be an mmg4? Also, forgive my ignorance, have these been calibrated as to force required to close the various levels? Thanks. Mark Kodya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I'm not wanna but there will be as many levels as needed. If two or more can close this mm3 then there will be a four. They are very close in closing power although they have not been calibrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I seriously think there will need to be another level. I suspect there will need to be a level 5. Especially if Tommy H. joins the party, he's crazy good. Also the more people that get in on this the better it becomes. So if you can close a pretty hard #3 I think you shouild help the board out and sign up for the mm1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna Be Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 So. you're saying that if you can CRUSH(no merely close) the COC #3, then you should start with the #1 on this cycle(MM?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends how hard your #3 is. If your killing all the #3's your touching it may be time to sign up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FbaLLPlaya_53 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Wanna be, first you have to sign up for the MMG then you move on to the MM1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna Be Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I am not at that level yet, but how do I go about getting signed up for the MMG cycle when I am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 Wanna, Will there be an mmg4? Also, forgive my ignorance, have these been calibrated as to force required to close the various levels? Thanks. Mark Kodya We figured out how you need to make them for cert grippers to make differences to be not perceptible between grippers. Besides, the same gripper at each level gets passed around. The other two are backups. We've also figured out how to best tweak them for the next level up. I agree with Jeff, it's likely the #5 will be the gripper the KING of crush closes. However, we will keep climbing forever if necessary. For example, say we have a KING at Level 5. ALong comes some young buck who closes the #5 as well. The will necessitate a #6 be created.

JeffPeterson Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Matt V. right. I meant if you can close a lot of differant #3's you'll probably want to try the MM1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALong comes some young buck who closes the #5 as well. The will necessitate a #6 be created. IMO, you should keep making tougher ones until there's one that no one can close. If you wait until two guys have closed the toughest MMG before you make another one, then if the first guy has slacked off his training and gotten weaker, you'll never know if he could have closed the next MMG at his peak, and you won't really know who was the best. Don't know if that makes sense but that's the way I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should not have slacked off. Slackers aren't champions! Sheesh. We aren't baby sitters here on the gripboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should not have slacked off. Slackers aren't champions! Sheesh. We aren't baby sitters here on the gripboard. Fair enough. Then we'll be able to say that the guy at the top of the pyramid has had the strongest crush since he came along but not necessarily the strongest crush since the beginning of Mash Monster certs. Sort of like not allowing a record holder to break his own record until someone else comes along and ties it. In any case it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top! Props to you Wanna for putting the process together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
