Bent My First Green Nail!

Recommended Posts

I know I'm on KTA and not supposed to do any other grip stuff :blush

A friend of mine is an engineer and I told him the specs for the nails a while ago, He turned up today with some steel cut to white,green, and yellow specs.

I put them all away except one white nail (just to try one) Wrapped it up and bent it pretty easily and thought I'll try the rest after KTA, But then I swear I heard the Green nail calling me from the cupboard ;) , next thing I knew it was wrapped and in my hands ready to go.

After attacking it for 2 mins, it was that great U shape we all love to see. :cool

I can see how bending is addictive, but I will wait till I certify before any more serious bending( I told my wife to hide the nails just in case)

Its very hard on the wrists, especially if you have the wrong technique.

Type 'Poor mans bag of nails' in the search engine to get the specs.

The green nail is short (5 inches) and since most people try it their first time it seems pretty hard. Once you develop your technique though its cake.
