Gripmaster® Exercises

Finger Tip Pinch

What it does: isolates finger tip motion for the finer movements involving coordination and dexterity of the hand. The quality of finger tip movement allows the athlete to put spin on a ball or a gentle shift of the equipment to improve object manipulation and precision grip.

Recommended for: all ball handling sports, rock climbing.

How to do it: place all finger tips on their own button with the tip of the thumb on the centre of the ergonomic base. Keeping all finger tips bent, flex the thumb and all the fingers toward the centre of the unit at the same time. If you experience pain or fatigue – stop immediately.

As with any exercise, excessive or incorrect use can lead to pain or injury. Therefore progress slowly and increase reps and resistance very cautiously. Standard advice is to consult your GP before embarking on any fitness program.
