D'Addario Varigrip PW-VG-01 Adjustable Hand Exerciser
Model
PW-VG-01
D'Addario Varigrip pocket hand exerciser: tension adjustable for each finger and a reversible pad with simulated strings to keep your calluses.
The Varigrip PW-VG-01 is a pocket-sized hand exerciser whose spring-loaded pistons each adjust on their own: a player can train a weaker finger without overloading the others, even away from the instrument.
What sets it apart
- Tension adjusts piston by piston
- Reversible rubber pad with simulated strings underneath
- Small enough for a pocket or a case
Six exercises in the routine
The instructions describe six: palm to tip, fist grip, thumb to tip, chord press for beginners learning barre chords, thumb squeeze, and the callus builder, with the pad flipped over.
