Gripmaster® Exercises

Tripod Pinch

What it does: assists in holding, tossing, and controlling any game ball in your fingertips.

Recommended for: dribbling a basketball, throwing a football or baseball, bowling, firing a gun, climbing, martial arts, and some yoga & pilates positions.

How to do it: place the thumb tip in the centre of the ergonomic base with the index and long fingertips resting on the two centre buttons. Keeping the fingertips bent, flex the thumb and fingers toward the centre of the unit at the same time. Be sure to keep the ring and small fingers bent into the palm during this exercise.

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.
