Now if the match goes rt into a hook then from there say i took his hand in hook and he flaps his wrist and a slip happens its a loss...only due to he went into a hook got top rolled and he bailed its a loss...every match i pulled with micheal todd rt hand he bailed after we hook and i took his hand...one ref says winner and one said strap....i feel you slip on the fact your gonna lose and it is your only chance to win by bailing ...so if its a hook match then a slip happens its the guys loss that got top rolled.... What if your in the hook with Jerry Caderette and you take his hand but only because he let you so he could get into his press and the slip occurs. He is probably not bailing and neither are you. There are just too many questions when a slip occurs and too many refs opinions. All slips go to straps is simple and easy to understand. YES, it will change how people AW. The people who want straps will try to slip. Pullers will need to learn how to stop a slip. Also the TR's will have to learn NOT to get out too far on the hand or they will slip. BUT the rule will be very easy to endorse with NO questions. |

The ideas of John Parton and Bob Brown, should immediatly go in the Book of Rules !!
John Parton : WARNING AFTER MOVEMENT IN REF'S GRIP ! NOT FOUL, NO RESET.
Bob Brown : ALL SLIPS GO TO THE STRAP
Now there only has to be set a rule for the elbow movements.. me personally i like a little softer mazurenko table elbow pads, and to make a frame around the elbow pads of 0,5 -1cm. So you see easily who is off the pad, and the little fouls under that range are countless...
Its similar to the old round pads, i saw couple of older tournaments on these pads, and there WERE A LOT MORE exciting matches than on the brick hard pads with the countless little fouls.
So these 3 rules would in my opinion be revolutionary to Armwrestling !

I think the question is when getting strapped up, fight for grip after that or let the ref set it.
I think its too easy to get an unfair grip if they fight for grip in straps. they tighten move etc..
set grip

I dont personally like the ref's grip as it seems to be hard to get comfortable in it... Some guys dont even try to grip-up & thats BS too... I think all slips go into straps, if a guys in a losing position & slips, then he gets the "L"... Btw, hate AAA straps. Sorry triple A guys!  |

Also unclear on the exact question but I will say if you started every match in the straps, you would need far fewer refs grips because the straps force pretty even grips... I said this before tell me how many times you have seen a set up where two athletes got the refs grip only after they could not setup in the strap.. Agree with all slips go to a strap, sure I admit that bailing out before you get pinned happens and is pretty dodgy. but I would say this only because there are so many reasons why the dynamic of the hands caused a slip at some point in the match, most times it takes two to slip. I got two intentional slip fouls at the worlds, one I was on my winning side of the table and I was forced this way because of the rip away grip of my opponent, and the other was pretty up and down where my opponent worked for a thumb lock, dropping my fingers off of his hand then he let go, foul to me. I would have been thrilled with a straight palm to palm grip with both of them, they would have gotten destroyed.  2nd that! |
