I have ridiculously small fucking hands. My hands are smaller than most female hands. They're smaller than my girlfriends. They're small enough that a hook grip is impossible for PC's. It's not actually my palm that is small. It's just my fingers are so short and thin. With that said, I own a full set of HG's rather than CoC to accomodate for my disability. I am nearing the point where the hg300 is going to be closed and I will need to get CoC equivalents and up. plus I want to certify the #3. Does anyone know how much difference there is in SIZE between the two brands? I'm aware of the other differeneces (price, break in, quality), but I need to know whether it's worth buyig a pair. My hg350 is 5mm wider and I can't get my pinky around it and my ring finger barely does. Anyone with pics of the two brands side by side would be much appreciated! I tried google but no results.

Thanks

My CoC 2 is 5 millimeters or so wider at the bottom than my HG 300. I don't have the CoC 3 or HG 350.

The spread always varies with any brand so it's pot luck.

I have a #3 than is nearly a handle width wider than another #3 I have.

If your hands are small practice deep sets (using other hand) or use a hose clamp as a choker. Bear in mind that the cert requires a close from credit card width. Given that you have almost closed an HG300 (which is generally more difficult than a typical #3 if it's a new type) you should have no problems passing.
