Competition rules & plastic knob
Hi - does anyone know if the plastic knob that fits on the end can be used in the competition? I have had a look through through the rules and can't see anything that prohibits it...? I have a condition called SFS (sweaty finger syndrome ) and the knob makes a big difference. But if it can't be used I'll have to start practising without. Cheers.

Re: Competition rules & plastic knob
The plastic trainer cannot be used in the live event. As you said, it makes a big difference, hence why your not allowed it

Re: Competition rules & plastic knob
No problem 
To be honest, once you get used to it I think you'll find you can solve the puzzle faster without the trainer anyway

Re: Competition rules & plastic knob
it hasnt been launched yet, but since so many people are putting hours into opening the REVOMAZE in one sitting they are having hand issues, so chris invented a plastic "training" knob to help prevent sore fingers. We'll see it for sale soon.smiteo wrote:uh... what plastic knob?

Re: Competition rules & plastic knob
I just realised that one came in the bag when I bought it from TGS 
I didn't even look in the bag after I took the box out, I was too excited to open the box ASAP

Re: Competition rules & plastic knob
I could have used the "trainer"... Probably would have made my solution more reasonable, as I could only work on it for about 30 minutes at a time...
But now I've got endurance

Re: Competition rules & plastic knob
Sure...
They are all clickable to see a large version of the picture.
It helps a lot with the pain in the fingers but there some of the finer moves that need to be made are a bit more difficult. I tend to hold further down the shaft and have the plastic bit in the palm of my hand.
