If you don’t have any grip training equipment, chances are your hand strength is less than it should be, and if your grip training equipment looks like a toy that could have come in a box of cereal, the same thing is true. Captains of Crush (CoC) grippers changed the world by taking what had been a cheap, imported plaything and turning it into a beautifully crafted training tool for serious strength athletes. Made in the USA and known worldwide, nothing else puts power in the palm of your hand like a Captains of Crush gripper. Whether hitting, pitching or throwing, increased wrist and grip strength are key to playing better baseball. A strong grip is essential to golf. Pros tend to have greater maximum grip strength than amateurs and—somewhat paradoxically—stronger hands allow you to have a more relaxed grip while maintaining head control and consistent body mechanics. Your thumb is important in shooting, but when it comes to controlling a handgun, it’s secondary to your other four fingers, so your focus is on what’s called crushing grip (think shaking hands and squeezing). Captains of Crush grippers are your first choice for increasing your crushing grip and they will be the cornerstone of your training. Hand strength is key for obstacle course racers (OCR) and climbers, and most of the grip-related challenges you will face will depend upon the strength and endurance of your crushing grip. Captains of Crush grippers are the fastest route to a stronger crushing grip. IronMind developed the Captains of Crush (CoC) Silver Bullet Hold as both a training tool and as an event for grip strength contests: visually appealing and intuitively obvious, the CoC Silver Bullet Hold has been featured in grip contests from California to Russia, with stops in Finland, England, Ukraine... Whether you think your hand is too big, too small or just right for a gripper, the Silver Bullet is perfect. Hold on as long as you can.
