tec Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 when I "no set" crush...I place the gripper in my hand with my opposite hand. However I do not close it at all with that hand...I just place it into the hand by holding the spring, then I let go and close it is that considered no set?

thomas straub Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Put the gripper on the ground then pick it up and close it with one hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 No set is simply not using the non closing hand to help close the gripper. Some might be even stricter, and not even touch the gripper with the non closing hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Either way is fine although I couldnt touch it at all with the off hand for the tetting cert. Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gripmaster316 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 (edited) That is a good question, I guess we are dealing with semantics here aren't we? A "set" seems to mean bringing the gripper handle in with the other hand or placing/adjusting the gripper with the non-gripping hand to fit the right spot. In answering your question in my opinion a "true" no-set would would be picking the gripper up with the gripping hand from the ground or a table adjust it with the gripping hand and proceed to close. This is very tough! Edited April 25, 2004 by gripmaster316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very tough! That's my definition too: Grap it from a table at one handle and close it without touching with the gripper other body parts or other things. That's the may my no-set training looks like and thats the way Warren requires for his certification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggymountainmuscle Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I think the one handed rule is a good way to officiate a no set. In my training though I use your discription tec. Nothing that my single hand could do on it's own, just gets it on faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xazaralix Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Is it ok to wiggle the gripper around in your hand before you close it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FbaLLPlaya_53 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Yes, as long as you dont use the other hand to set it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
