JeffPeterson Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 It looks like the first member to be certified will be Austin Slater. He sent me the tape and he mashed his SM and GM with no set. Absolutly killed it. He may even be good for an elite. Warren is double checking the tape now, it should pass. I never seen a tougfh gripper closed with a no set. I have a new respect for no setting now, provided the gripper fits the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinslater Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 thanks for the kind words guys. I got 3 almost 4 no set reps with the grandmaster. My hands are a shade under 7.5" Im looking forward to seeing what others can do under these rules. Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Excellent! Did you just pick it up off of a table and mash it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Did you have the 2 5/8 grippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bseedot Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Did you have the 2 5/8 grippers? That's what I'm thinking too. Warren measured my hand at 7-5/16" (I always thought they were bigger) so I got the 2-5/8" spread. I think under 7-3/4" hands use the 2-5/8". BC.

austinslater Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 They were a shade under 2 3/4"so probably 2 5/8". It felt perfect in my hands. Thanks again guys for the kind words. Im sure more will join the list in the near future. Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
