Hand Grips

a gripper, if you're going to get one get a proper one - not the foam/plastic ones you get from sports shops that a kitten could close.

O i love you two, thanks


EDIT> anyone have any idea what resistance level 1-2 is around?

looking on ebay.. how can you tell the stiffness of the grips.. but i suppose i cant loose much for 5 a fiver with p & p

Does the auction say how much pressure in lbs you can apply to those ones?

100% agreement. The plastic ones you get are pants.

This is what you really want.

this ones cheap but doesnt say anything about the spring stiffness

If you just want to try a pair out for the sake of a few pounds go for the cheap ones as they will be exactly the same as those dearer ones. I'd guess they would be between 10-20lbs of pressure.

I remember in high school, a guy used to walk around using them between lessons (it reminded me of something from Saved By The Bell), to my later knowledge we found out he was a bare-knuckle fighter.

 

[shimy182]

heh. ok might give the cheap pair a go.
