ChimpGrip Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Would you say this is true? My hands are 7 inches from base of palm to tip of middle finger, making closing heavy grippers very difficult. Embarrassing. Kyler Murray is small but has 9.5” hands based on the NFL combine.

It’s gotta mean something, that’s one of the biggest things they test for in college and pro drafts is the size of your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I AM IRONMAN Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I had a friend of the family that would try to just Crush you every time he shook your hand and roll your knuckles while doing it. If you simply locked the webbing between your thumb and your forefinger into their webbing no matter how big the hand is they cannot dominate you. A piss this guy off so much I loved it and I have pretty big hands 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have near world class grip strength but small hands will almost make it impossible for me to close my goal grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Minimum hand size, as in enough to properly grip and throw a football, is 100% essential for any modern QB.....Beyond that one can assume larger hands would would only inhibit "athletic ability" (defined as 1)balance 2)speed 3)strength ) .... (at a minimum it would slow down throw velocity, shorten distance, and require more 'strength' to throw.... all others things equal) Your welcome. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I can be proud of....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nice, bet that's an expensive but quality piece. You would probably excel on grip if you have a background of using your hands. I had to work a little harder to get there.
