i was wondering since this is a turntable website, what the hell the gripmaster does and what it is. I heard ti was like a finger excersier, how can this help you with turntables?

Gripmaster? Huuuh... That doesn't sound right!

People use them to make their crab's sound tighter.

uhhhh, is that the thingie that suzanne sommers uses????

The Gripmaster allows you to exercise each finger individually with its own spring loaded button. The entire hand, wrist, forearm, and all fingers are conditioned.

Basically it's more or a guitar tool to help increase finger and wrist endurance and dexterity, but you can use it in any application, whethere it be dj'ing or . .. you know

Thats really not going to do anything for you ! The best practice for the Crab is to actually practice the crab itself on a fader ! To actually practice the motion on the fader is going to be a whole lot better for you then using the gripmaster ! Crabing is not the hard part, you have to learn how to crab to the beat of the song that your scratching too, and make it sound clean ! If you put enough time on your scratching, and crabing your fingers will get use to it, and get stronger.

It actually does do a lot for your crabs, as often times you may not click it each time, or push it far enough out for different, poor-er curve mixers. With a lot of gripmaster use you can use a wider variety of mixers and have your crabs sound better.

But the gripmaster won't make you a crab expert, it just builds the muscles in your wrist and fingers, increases endurance and heightens your finger dexterity!!!!
The only way to master the crab is to practice the crab.

Ok, example-A lot of DJ's who could crab on the 05pro couldn't crab on the old ADJ q-deck because the cut in time kinda blowed. With the gripmaster you don't run into mixer change problems nearly as much.

i'm not to sure that the gripmaster would have any affect on that, that would just be getting comfortable with the mixer and knowing it's strengths and weaknesses.
