Carbon fiber grips: Falcon Grips and Rx Grips
Main characteristics of this fabric.
- Very resistant
- Weighs just
- It is rigid and hard so it takes a while to get into shape for training
Differences between RX and Falcon
- Falcon: The most resistant grip
2.5m thick (option of 2H, 3H and no holes). It consists of two fabrics, carbon fiber + soft inner fabric for contact with the skin. The most durable. Preferred by top world-class athletes. Ideal for people who have a very high training volume and high weight.
- Rx: The best quality-price street
1.8mm thick (option of 2H, 3H and no holes). Same as the Falcon but thinner. They only consist of a single fabric, carbon fiber. The bar feels more. Very durable. Ideal for people with high training volume, but not so heavy.
Azor Grips: The most versatile
- The most versatile and adapt to all levels
- 2.2mm thickness
- They are softer and more comfortable and have a shorter adaptation period
- They have an inner layer that provides them with greater softness
- Option with 2H, 3H and without holes
Golden Eagle grips: The best grip
- Golden Eagle grips are without holes
- 2.2mm thickness
- The best grip thanks to its 'Micro Diamonds' fabric, with double extrusion of microdots
- very light
- Recommended for competition due to its extreme grip
- Not recommended for day-to-day training, or for people over 85kg, as they are very thin and excess training or weight will reduce their durability
Condor Grips: The most comfortable and suitable for day to day
- Thickness 2.4mm
- Made with a fabric called Technical Fabric that provides grip and conform
- Very comfortable, soft, and flexible
- Very versatile and recommended for any person and level
- The best grips for day-to-day training, resistant, great grip, and with high protection
Conclusions
- The grips are an aid to protect the hand and improve performance
- There is no universal street for everything. You must select the one that best suits you according to your weight, grip shape, and what you will use it for.
- It is important to have strength in the base grip. Also, that strength is useful for other cross-training exercises like cleans, snatches, etc.
- Like everything, they have their adaptation period
- As they are used, the grip will improve since when it works by friction works better on rough surfaces.
- Magnesium is our friend (do not demonize it). It is one more strategy to gain grip. Very useful against sweat
- To prevent sweat from reaching the calla, or to avoid chafing and discomfort, a long wristband can be worn under the calla
