Core ProdigyTalon Pull Up Grip Strength Straps - Nylon Finger and Thumb Loops for Grip Training, Rock Climbing, Hand and Arm Strengthener

Some have commented on other brands with more padding . . . probably right. These i guess could be a little rough on girly man hands . . I work in the trades so while I can tell the straps are thinner maybe than another brand they don't hurt my fingers . . . and I wouldn't complain if they did . . . that would be weak . . . these are well worth the money and exactly what I was looking for to add variety and better strength gains for my hands . . and it makes practice a little more interesting . . .

The Talon Pull Up Grip Strength Straps by Core Prodigy are a game-changer for anyone serious about grip training, rock climbing, or enhancing hand and arm strength. The nylon finger and thumb loops provide a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring a reliable grip during workouts. These straps have undoubtedly helped me develop a vice-like grip, to the point where my fingers have become contenders for the heavyweight championship! Now, my handshake is practically a workout for others. These Talon straps are no joke when it comes to building serious strength.

This is a well made product that addresses specific finger strengthening needs to help generate a competitive edge or personal achievements.It is made from a heavy duty webbing material that is designed to withstand heavy stress so it will last for years to come and will hold its position longer than the user. I am only 5'9" and 159 pounds so I cannot vouch for heavier men or women but I felt strength in my fingers after a few simple pulling tests. For me, using the thumb can be tricky but I found it is best to get creative and do "thumb specific exercises" to strengthen the thumb.Obviously wall climbers, mountain climbers and American Ninja style athletes will find this product very useful but so will:BoxersMMA fightersBaseball playersTennis playersGolfers and just about anyone who needs a tight clenched fist or a strong grip.You may want to do assisted "dead hangs" (feet slighting touching something for comfort) until your fingers get used to the pressure before doing pull ups; you can wear gloves for more comfort.Be sure to flex your fingers, hands, arms and body to support the fingers and reduce some of the pressure; you can pull something in the fingers if you don't.PROS:+It works areas of the fingers that are neglected by traditional grip training equipment+Strong material+Should last for years+An inexpensive solution+Will strengthen your fingers, not just your hands+Practically anything you can do with cable handles can be done with thisCONS:-May be a little uncomfortable until broken in (you can use gloves or finger tape)-Can be difficult to put fingers in while it is hanging from a bar (has to be broken in so slightly work the material to keep finger loops open)CONCLUSION:I highly recommend it for those who want stronger fingers and an overall grip from a unique piece of equipment the competition may overlook.

This is a great training tool to add to your workouts if you want more variety. The versatility of this product allows you to change the grip angle/requirements of numerous exercises from pull-ups to kettlebell swings. The material is solid and will last even after some abuse. Some people have complained about the grips not being comfortable, but grip training is not the most comfortable thing to begin with. All in all, a great product for the price.

Great product with one major issues. This item does what it says it will, and my work outs on them have been great. The biggest issue is that the material is very rough/course and will give your fingers blisters or friction burn after every use. I tried wearing my gloves but the loops aren't really big enough/cause too much friction to get my fingers in with gloves on. I have been toughing it out with the burns but I shouldn't have to. the company needs to sew in some kind of softer grip material on the inside of the loops to help with this, and it would be perfect. Otherwise as I stated, this is a good workout tool with 1 major issue.

Really stiff at the beginning (that's what she said) but give it time and use it more and it will get soft. (Giggity) lol.

I tend to get elbow pain from uneven use of my fingers when I'm gripping/pulling and my trainer recommended. These grips force me to distribute the load more evenly.They're very sturdy and pretty stiff. At this point it actually hurts my hand a bit when I'm gripping it but it's new and I'll try to soften them up.

I work in HVAC as a technician so I work with my hands all day. This has resulted in carpal tunnel and tendonitis issues in my hands and forearm up to my elbow, which has been impeding with my ability to finish tasks quickly. I ordered the Core Prodigy New Talon Grips to strengthen my finger grip extensors and forearm muscles and tendons and relieve the pain. I started using the grip and it has helped tremendously. I can feel my grip strength improving and my forearm getting back to normal.
