"Good concept, not my favorite hand strengthener"
11/28/12
I've been using this for a few weeks, I don't feel like it is as much as Power Putty. Just my $0.02. I will continue to use it though, since I don't like sitting at my desk at work with the putty, since the color exchanges a little on my hand and it looks like I'm playing with Play Dough or Silly Putty.
"Thumb loop broke within one week of use."
09/10/11
I bought the hard (orange) one and used it a few times a day for about a week and it failed. The thumb loop developed a small tear which quickly grew. If it had held together longer it would be a great product. I think it was helping.
"good for warm-ups and to pass time in the office"

the up side - it works on the opposite muscles of you fingers.the downside - its not very affective, and gets old quite fast.if you get this grip, be sure to take the "soft" one, to avoid injuries.
"Best hand warm-up/strengthening tool and great for old people with arthritic elbows"
10/28/08
The only hand strengthening tool that I know of that balances the muscles in the hand by working the extensors and flexors and all that good stuff too, rather than just working your grip. Also, as opposed to the relatively linear motion of grip strengtheners like the gripmaster, the ball tends to work stabilizer muscles in the fingers much better. My parents stole mine because it is the only thing that uncripples their arthritic elbows so i'm getting them each one for christmas.
you're better off investing in...well ANYTHING else. this thing fell apart before i even really got to use it. and i'm too busy to send it back to moosejaw, and i don't really want another one. ALL of the finger holes broke off. i don't even know why moosejaw continues to carry this product.
Works great while it lasts. Black rubber fingers rings don't hold up too well after moderate use. I hope Metolius can come up with a more lasting design.
The grip saver works well but the black rubber finger bands do not last very long. Metolius sent me out a new one at no charge but that one has already broken also. If they can find a way to make the product more durable it would be good.
Awkward at first, takes some use before you feel it stretching your muscles. Also try keeping it stretched out for a longer period of time, builds endurance.
