Gorilla Hands Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 (edited) Clay has provided proof he closed the Silver Elite. He closed mine. I saw it, and Mike Wayne saw it. The picture isn't the best, but as good as some. The gripper is now in his possession so he can improve on the picture. For all intents and purposes though, two COC's who had never met him before is plenty of proof (and we don't like him ).

Rob Vigeant Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hi Dave what is the spring size of your silver elite? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Hands Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 oh...'bouts .285"Ø Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yes you're right about Clay ! So that makes three on the gripboard. And what about you David, have you closed your silver elite ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Hands Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 If I answered that, this thread would have to be locked . You know.....garages are poor witnesses . Besides I'm too busy making pizza deliveries . Stay strong Amaury . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I didn't know that job could build such strong wrists ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Funny, but the Silver Elite that Heath closes in the video has a deep set spring of .292. I guess these things were always all over the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I won't lock it in this case because I believe they are all over the map. Hence why we have the Mash Monster "Elite" status gripper primed and ready as soon as all in order logistics wise and the logo, etc. Video proof will be required and it witnessed. A new standard for sure supported by the grip community we have established here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Are silver elite grippers rare older grippers that have a chrome plated spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Vigeant Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Thanks Dave and Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Hands Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 (edited) To clarify: Clay took his .295" black spring elite and closed it easy. Mike took his .295" black spring elite also (don't know if he closed that one, said it was real tough). I took my .285" chrome plated spring elite and Clay closed it. Spring is set deep on this one with wide spread. Hope this adds to the confusion. Edited October 29, 2003 by Gorilla Hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 After seeing the film clip of Clay doing the 300#farmers-with 2 inch handles-and reading about this I'd vote Clay as 'most improved'gripper. Seriously...he's making exceptional progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSW Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 After seeing the film clip of Clay doing the 300#farmers-with 2 inch handles-and reading about this I'd vote Clay as 'most improved'gripper. Seriously...he's making exceptional progress. I don't know about most improved. Didn't he close his #3 right out of the bag? It seems to me that he is more like Dave Morton and started at a very high level of crushing strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 (edited) RSW,yes Dave has made fantastic progress also.he's a bit more secretive though They will both make their mark in the sport/activity.BOTH relative 'newbies'too.... Just getting started in 'gripping'...in what?the last 6?-7?-8? months or so? Edited October 29, 2003 by Tom of Iowa2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Thanks Tom. Though I'm not sure if I started with a higher level of strength or how it happened. You don't generally get stronger by being a secretary like me. Some of it may be due to having worked metal as a hobby for a couple years on and off. Dave is on a whole other level waaaay up here in terms of strength. It's inspiring to look at his photos and videos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wood Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I've got a Silver Elite. It might as well be a #4 to me Snott, You were knockin' on the door last summer...what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 John Wood, I changed my routine right in the middle of training for it... and my strength IMMEDIATELY went south. I am currently building it back... but it's slow going for now. Double bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
