P.S. There is still shipment costs mentioned, but they are ignored in the total bill. So no shipment costs!!!!

TheForce, did you ask about shipment costs to other countries? Or is it free no matter how far it is? :-)

Pako.

I got a gripmaster black yesterday. I was surprised how easy it was to squeeze it together, no challenge at all. It can be nice as a warm up and it also works if you want to train each finger individually.
Today I bought a RB (Robert Baraban) gripper from a local Budo&Fittness store. I got one that takes 130lbs of pressure to close. The black gripmaster takes 9lbs per finger so it is a huge difference. The gripmaster is more comfortable for the hand though. I guess my hand have to get used to rough metal handels of the RB gripper.
If you seriously want a better a grip then the RB gripper seem like a better choice to me but I dont know if it will improve my powerballing. We'll see about that.
There's a bunch of reviews of grippers here:

Sorry mate, but you are comparing apples with bananas here. The gripmaster is a device with which you can train each finger separately. Especially your little finger is a weak finger normally. I can press the little finger with the black, but only just. And if you make 30 repetitions with that finger it sure is a hard exercise.

Moreover, the gripmasters enables exercises you can't do with the other hand exercise products as these are meant for squeezing with the full hand at the same time.

On www.mill-products.com you will find some information on the different exercises.

Best regards,

The Force

I already have my 2 grippers. ^_^
A blue one and a black one.
For my little fingers even the blue one is a bit hard. Razz With the other fingers specially with the index and middle fingers I don´t have any problem even with the black one, but I make several repetitions with them, as The Force tell, so they can suffer a little. Razz

I agree, the gripmaster can be good for some exercises. I did write "...it also works if you want to train each finger individually."
I just think it would be better if it had more resistance. It says heavy tension but compared with grippers like the RB gripper I bought it's not heavy at all.
I would recommend people who wants to buy a grip device to go to a local store and try one out. It's hard to know what you'll get when you just order one online.
I must say it was nice of mill-products to make this special offer and with free shipping also!

Did you already try to press two or three buttons with one finger? Wink
On mill-products.com you can see what I mean with this exercise.

Undoubtedly the best overall grip strength trainers come from Captains of Crush

at www.Ironmind.com

if you think your tough enough they have a grip tester which only about 10 people in the last 10 years have closed (365lb).

these grips trainers have been recomended by the man with the worlds strongest grip 'John Brookfield'

but at the same time i do see the benefits of individual finger strength training which is possibly more suited for powerballing?

Hi,

I own some captains of the crush hand grippers. I got these ones:

"Trainer" --> 100 lb. (= 45 Kg)
#1 ---> 140 lb. (= 63 Kg)
#2 ---> 195 lb. (= 88Kg)

I haven't trained much with them, due to my finger injuries. But I couldn't resist it and give #2 a try Laughing I could almost close it. These grippers are serious stuff (as well as the Phantom)... be careful! Wink

Next time I will buy #3 (280lb.) and #4(365lb.); Bear in mind that only 5 guys in the world can close #4

Pako.
