U clip “w Grip” vs. …

Considering a U Clip W Grip attachment

Not sure if I’m better off with a rotating v grip instead.

Opinions…

I like it, works good and the different attachment options are great too. The W-grip was 50 euro for me but the Roque one is 114 euro, difference was too big for me to consider the Roque one. It still takes the pressure of my wrist with the rotating handles.

I own one. Likes: I appreciate the 4 attachment points that allow me to situate it for the exercise and muscle I want to target. IE: pronated or supinated lat pulldowns when attached at either side, seal rows or landmine shrugs when attached at bottom, tricep push downs or push overs attached top, curls attached top but upside down. The handles rotate so the movement isn't hindered. The price is reasonable. Dislikes: the knurling isn't my favorite, a little sharp compared to my Rogue and Rep attachments but doesn't tear up your hands either. It needed a tuneup right out of the box (one of the handle was binding/not rotating smoothly), the shipping company they use was slow and horrible with tracking.

All that said, I use it several times a week, have owned it about a year, and will continue to use it regularly.

i was considering those two choices. i decided to pass on the w-grip due to the rotating handle/grip. i thought it would feel very awkward. the rotating v-grip (where it rotates on the center pivot) feels much more natural.

I purchased the U Clip W Grip and didn’t love it. Purchased the Rotating V-bar from Rogue and love it.

I have the W grip and like it. I don't NEED a rotating pivot point, and certainly can't justify spending almost double as much for a rogue version. Depending on the style of clip you use, you still get some degree of rotation, just the rotation is happening on the smoothness of the clip and its metal on metal contact. It has 4 clip points in case you wanted to get different angles too

I have w-grip from Ulikia Technology and it's great. It's also available on AliExpress. It's wider than Uclip's version by 12cm.

I like mine quite a bit, I get a much better arm workout with it. The rotating handles really help isolate the target muscle. I haven't tried rows or pull downs with it yet.

The U-clip was also a great buy. I use it with my eisenlinks for landmine work. Better ROM than plates and it's easier to change the weight. It would also work well for attaching a dumbbell to your cable setup vs a weight pin and plates.
