This would be a good matchup....Harold definately has the experience and hand size to take it. BUUUUUT, Dye never ceases to impress me either. He's got very strong hands to combat Ryden's hand size, and like previously mentioned, if he could force Ryden into a hook, it might just go his way. This would be an epic hand control battle.

The secret about Brandon is this. Brandon please forgive me for this. He is well how do you say... Um yeah he is unreal.  No seriously his side pressure is second to none. The dude is strong like a Clydesdale. Look out because no matter what he's going sideways and more often then not taking your arm in his direction. That's my boy and if anybody is going to beat him it's gonna be me!  |

There is obviously alot more to armwrestling than going sideways, especially when you know your opponent is going there. Harold wins. Where was Brandons side pressure when he pulled Corey miller? Harold pulls in a very similar fashion.

First of all... Hands don't matter that much to Brandon. He pulls with Jacob, me and Al and not to many people have bigger mitts. Side pressure was not an issue with Corey, because Corey uses a dead load and that takes side pressure out of the equation. It still goes to Brandon, but I don't see much use in talking about... Get it on already!

I'm from the northwest and have seen Brandon pull in several tourny's and have seen him go against very fast and strong top rollers. I've seen them take him to about an inch of the pad when he stopped them and with pure side pressure swept them straight across the table. I have never seen Harold pull in person, but even if he is faster and has a stronger wrist Brandon will stop him and sweep him.JMO I think Brandon Dye will be a world champ someday, but Harold is already at the world class level. Harold will find a way in my opinion. |

Next time your in the grocery store and you walk by the bananas... grip up to those bad boys... yep... thats about what its like!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D My hands are exactly the same size as Fishers just without all the extra meat, but Im working on that! I think Brandon Dye will be a world champ someday, but Harold is already at the world class level. Harold will find a way in my opinion. Wow! Im flattered Bob... Thanks!! Brandon said he is going to Tahoe as I will be there too! Hopefully we will grip up with each other if he can make the finals! ;D (jk Brandon!!) |

Harold pulls in a very similar fashion. Jake you are 100% right about there being more to arm wrestling then going sideways. But somebody with a tremendous amount of side pressure is going to have a much stronger hook then someone with mediocre side pressure. Brandon's strength isn't hand control it's side pressure and stopping power. |

I see you've never pulled Harold, Kyle. He doesn't have mediocre side pressure.

Eric,
I wasn't refering to Mr Ryden when I made that statement. I honestly know nothing about him or his style other then he is really good and has proved himself several times.

Harold pulls in a very similar fashion. This is so True. I have pretty good side pressure If you let me get there. If you can take 1" from someone in hand leverage even a huge side pressure advantage can be nullified |

Whoops all my analysis down the drain since i didn't even pay attention to which hands they were using. Now that I have the facts, I think Harold is fast enough to get his game going and wins the supermatch with 3 toprolls.

If this happens in the next month....Harold. After that.....Brandon. No disrespect to Harold, but I think Brandon has the horsepower. Gotta get it revved up!  |
