OldGuy Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 The springs on the SG that were pre-2000 are actually easier than the ones after 2000. There's a noticeable difference in their strength. They did upgrade the strength of the springs. Mine came with the stronger ones. I have purchased 2 more recently. All 4 springs seem identical resistancewise. I have not seen any change in the springs. I am only using the S G these days to train sweep. My conventional gripper performance has gone downhill, yet my S G has improved no idea why!

jad Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Just as a reference I'm a little less than 1/2" on the #4 and a 1/4-1/8" from closing the ISG on 10,12 so however worthless the 365lbs for the #4 and 345lbs for the 10,12 setting(according to PDA chart) are they seem to correspond to one another relatively closely, at least on my #4 and ISG. These are with tape on the ISG and pre-credit card rules on the #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 The Sg at 10-12 is quite a bit harder then a 3 for me. Im still chasing the 10&12 and Ive been closing a 3 for awhile now. I have been using the sg for my left hand just for fun and my sweep has gone up greatly even though I havent touched grippers in awhile with the left. If someone has a weak sweep its worth a try. It would also be a good tool for someone trying to cert under the new rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotenmyoou Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 My ISG is way difficult than any of my #3's. I think lts difficult than my elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongmitts Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I have an older ISG. I'm sure mine is easier since some of you much stronger guys can't close it on 10 & 12. Nonetheless, I think it is an excellent training tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1perez Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 My isg is alot harder at the 10 & 12 position. I can't quite close it with two hands to do negatives. With my coc#3 I can do negative closes. My isg at 10 & 12 feels almost like my #4. I bought mine late in 2003, so it is a newer model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
