Hand Exerciser works great!

This is a great work out when sitting in traffic, at a concert, at work, in a meeting, on the bus, watching tv, etc. This also makes a great gift or stocking stuffer.

Wonderful

Had the GEL-Kayano 13's...these wear just as well. I'm a large guy and these are great for helping relieve my shin splints.

Best Shoes Ever

I used to buy shoes based on their looks and their cushion system. At least I thought I knew what cushion system was. I didn't. When I first tried these shoes I thought: "Wow, these ones are really comfortable !" And they really are. I've never tried anything like these GEL ones. They aren't the lighter, but they are still great for running and also daily use. They fit really well and I also think they are better than the 16. I feel like I'm walking barefoot in the carpet.
For that price, you can't go wrong.

Gel Kayano - still the best

I've run with many different shoes. Different people with different body types have different needs depending on their stride and weight. Once I switched to the GEL-Kayano I've had no desire to run with any other shoe. It provides a great amount of cushioning along with the stability that I need for my stride.

Highly recommended. There are some shoes that are lighter, but these breathe really well, are an acceptable weight, wear well (I tend to strike on the outside of my heels and roll onto my big toe), and they provide plenty of shock absorbtion for my knees. I realize that the feel of a shoe is subjective and personal but these really do it for me. When it's time for a new pair I don't hesitate - I just go find the best deal I can on the latest model of Kayanos.

A faithful Kayano runner

I bought the Kayano's recently and this is actually my 5th or 6th pair. The first run waas kinda shaky, just breaking them in, but after that they felt like the cushion monsters that all my other pair have been. They give a great response on concrete and are very durable shoes overall. I noticed this version has a little more carbon rubber on the sole for more durability than previous versions and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I have to reiterate that this is my 5th or 6th pair of Kayano's so I'm kinda already in the bag on these, lol. I am a dedicated Kayano runner.

great soft shoes.

I never thought shoes can make this much of an impact.

I tried many other brands, but this put them to shame. It took my pain away from my shin area. Expensive but worth the cause..

Pick Up One Today

If you play a lot of tennis and practice a lot, seriously consider getting a ball hopper like this. Why do you need one? Basically because it's a more efficient way to pick balls up off the ground and will save your back. How does it do this?

Well, with the handles in the "up" position, the hopper is pretty close to the ground when you carry it, so all you have to do is set the thing down over a tennis ball. Since its got this neat little one-way trapdoor on its base, that lets balls in the cage but not out- whallah- you just picked up a ball without ever bending over!

As you can tell, hoppers are great inventions, as I can't imagine trying to bend over and pick up 20 or 30 (or more) balls off the ground without one. Also, when the hopper is full of balls, you can fold the handles down into legs and use it as a stand to hold your balls while you practive serves and such. Sturdy and easy to put together (4 screws), its definitely a must if you're into tennis. Other items I can recommend for tennis players include Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow.

tennis ball hopper

Bought tennis hopper, one week after use the welds on the arms broke on one side, now it is useless. Weak link is the welds.

Rating :

Flimsy, difficult to change configuration, already coming apart

The hopper is not as sturdy as I had expected. It is very difficult to change configuration from a hopped to a basket. The rubber on the sleeve have already come apart after a few uses. Disappointed with purchase. Look for some other hopper if you need a sturdy and reliable one.

Rating :

Just as advertised

I received the Wilson Ball Hopper extremely quickly from Amazon, despite choosing the Free Shipping option. It was easy to assemble, and works very nicely. Really useful when you go out to hit balls by yourself. I'd give it 4.5 stars if possible, because the mechanism for locking and unlocking the legs/handle bars is a tad less-than-ideal. This has only been a small inconvenience to this point, since I've only used it with around 25 balls so far.

This is NOT the Best Ballhopper

I bought this ballhopper because it was the #1 selling ballhopper on Amazon. I just returned it.

1) It does NOT hold 75 balls. Maybe it hold 65 but as balls come in cases of 72 it ended up with 8-10 balls rolling around the back of my SUV.
2) During assembly the "caps" popped off all four "capped nuts" leaving four open ended side bars that did their best to rip up the carpet in my cargo area.
3) It is VERY hard to pop the legs in locking slots when using the unit as a stand.
4) Because it didn't hold 75 balls, the top would never stay shut. I had to use a twist tie.

Just ordered the Gamma 75 Gold and that seems to be a much better unit. Check it's page in a few days for a review.

Old age is kicking in...

...and with it tendonitis. This helps a great deal. Pain is still there, but greatly diminished when I wear this. It is definitely worth the extra money when compared to the velcro bands you can pick up at the random sporting store.

Uncomfortable to wear

Hoping to get rid of tennis elbow pain, I read quite a few reviews of competing products on Amazon. Due to large number of positive reviews versus other products that do the same thing, I settled on this one. Although I have not worn it long enough yet to experience relief of the inflammation of tennis elbow (couple weeks now), I can say this. Obviously you need to wear it tight enough to restrict interaction of the forearm muscle with the tendon connected to the elbow bone. But in so doing, it does cut off circulation even though it appears that, as a two part brace, it might not do so, where the straps "only" are in contact with the arm.
When you cinch it down adequately, the straps do compress the forearm flesh and muscle, cutting off circulation, contrary to their marketing claims. So I have had to loosen it up a bit, but when I make a fist and move my hand around to activate the muscle interaction with the tendon, I can tell that it is not restraining muscle activity enough to appear to relieve stress on the tendon. I am judging this by feeling the muscle action between the brace, and the tendon and I can feel it flexing more than it does when I have it tighter and properly restrained.
But the most uncomfortable thing about this product, is that the edges of the velcro strap are very thin and thus a bit sharp along the outer edges, beyond the soft part of the velcro itself, where the strap has been "heat cut" to prevent unraveling and fraying. Not to the point that they would literally cut you, but certainly uncomfortable over several hours of use. So the real weak point in this product is the velcro strap. If they could figure out a way to get rid of the abrupt and relatively sharp edge, it would enhance comfort in wearing over extended periods.

Gets slick with sweat

I got this band for tennis because it's pretty popular in the tennis community. My only complaint is that when it's on too tight, it feels like it's cutting off my circulation (I have small arms). When I loosen the band, it seems to slide when I sweat or hit overheads. On the plus side, it's easy to adjust.

Everything promised

I am not usually a sucker for advertising claims and little "problem solvers," but I bought a couple of these in desperation, and man am I glad I did! I was in significant pain and discomfort in both my arms, elbow to wrist, from repetitive strain. I couldn't wait to get these through Amazon (free shipping, but a wait of ~2 weeks), so I hunted them down locally yesterday morning. I wore them all day yesterday and half the day today. This clam-shell style is much more comfortable than the style of brace that wraps all the way around the arm, because it allows blood to circulate. The other type of brace turns my hands dusky - no blood flow!

Already this afternoon I am in so much less discomfort, and am able to do things like open jars and hold heavy items in a pincer-type grasp (things I couldn't do yesterday morning). No joke. I am keeping these and will not only use them for my recovery from tendonitis, but to prevent future flare-ups. They seem to have the added benefit of bio-feedback: you can feel the tension between your body and the brace when you are over-exerting your upper arm muscles. It helps give me an idea of things I do during my normal day that are just "too much."

They are well-built, sturdy, and the velcro appears like it will last, and like if it doesn't it'd be easily replaced by someone like me who can sew/craft. The black foam pads that sit on the arm are very soft and forgiving, but not too cushy - it keeps the white hard plastic off your body. They come with a money-back guarantee, so it's risk-free to give them a shot.

Some minor pitfalls: silly color/logo. It's also kind of cute: "Band-it?" Difficult to pull sleeves down or up over item (best to put under clothes, before you put shirt on). I do get a tiny bit sweaty under the black foam pads.

Superior product.

Tennis, fishing, computer elbow -- it works!

I played tennis in school (until 1974) then started fishing a lot and I work on a computer. All of those activities caused pain in my elbow that got increasingly more debilitating over the years. Anybody that ever had a real bad episode of tennis elbow knows it can bring tears to your eyes.

So I read the reviews here and bought a bandit even though I was skeptical. Well it works. It really works or I wouldn't be wasting my once limited computer time by typing here.

At first it was uncomfortable, difficult to put on in just the right position. But after 6 months I just don't touch my mouse unless my BandIt is on my arm. And I frequently find I am still wearing it when I don't need it, I just forget it's there.

It's been 6 months and I've had no arm pain. And I know from experience that I have pushed well beyond my limits. If I did not have this aid I would be having lots of pain, taking lots of Aleve.

Fine until you sweat

Can't hold onto this stuff after I start sweating hard, even with a wristband on. Moreover, it loses the tacky feel in about 20 minutes. Ok for rec play or if you can change your racket or grip every 3 or 4 games...

Great grips, great price at amazon

I swear by these when playing tennis for the feel and grip. They last long and do not peel off like other cheap ones. I used to buy these at full price ($22) at golfsmith. But not anymore...

Rating :

nice thing

As a player that goes through overgrips very often this 12 pk realy gives me more value. The tackyniss and cushion is very much present. As a player that used to play with leather grip before using overgrips I will be stretching these over grips to make the feel somewhat stiffer but tackyniss is better and absorption is good.

Wilson Over-grip beats going to pro shop

This porduct was easy to install and grip prvides a very tacky feel. Much more economical than buying a grip from pro shop as can use 2 overgrips and get same if not better effect.

Wrap It Up

In layman's terms, this stuff is essentially a sticky tape that you can put on the handle of your tennis racquet. Lots of reasons to use the Wilson Pro Overgrip Tennis Racquet Grip (12 Pack)- for instance...

-it is a simple and inexpensive way to maintain your racquet grip

-use it to increase the handle size for a more effective hold (larger grips are easier on your hand/forearms which can help you avoid tennis elbow- read Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if you've already got it)

-the right overgrip allows you to grasp the handle comfortably and control the racquet well

-a good grip may just give you the edge you need in your next match

-use it to keep your racquet from slipping around in your hand

-use it to fatten a handle that's a little too small

-great for customization of a racquet

So if you're looking for a good overgrip, consider this one- its reasonably priced and comes in a 12-pack. In fact the only negative I can think of about this product is that its white!
