Black Too Tense, Green Not Tense Enough... Red is JUUUUUUST Right!
I bought the GripMaster "Medium Tension" at the recommendation of my co-worker, who shares similar symptoms related to many hours spent at a keyboard (computer, not electric). She had been experiencing pain and numbness in her hands and forearms, and purchased the GripMaster to alleviate those symptoms. I discovered the device at her desk, and purchased mine not only for the medical benefits, but also the manual dexterity that would ultimately result from hours of practice, both individual digits and simultaneous.
The GripMaster helps me build strength in my fingers, and I am glad that I selected the Medium Tension version. I do believe that the Strong Tension would be too much, and the Lite Tension, too little. Since I started using the GripMaster, I only get pains in my fingers when I'm typing, but my general arm and hand numbness is nearly gone altogether!
I heartily recommend buying this product to cure your carpel tunnel. As an added benefit, I've been told that it is also useful for musicians, too (guitar, trumpet, and electric keyboard). With the holidays coming up, this is a handy (no pun intended!) stocking stuffer idea.
NOTE: in all seriousness, this is a great little tool, much better than the thing my dad used to have that was two black handles attached to a giant spring (you know what i'm talking about - you'd squeeze it until the muscle between your thumb and palm started to cramp) - the buttons are separated so that you can exercise individual fingers and your whole hand, as well as turn it around and work on your thumb. for the increasingly large group of people who spend most of their day in front of a computer, this is a nice little tool to stretch out your fingers, relieve stress, and pass the time as you contemplate larger issues.
My strength came back!
This is worth getting, it really works. My strength came back after the first use. I just sit and do it whenever I'm watching tv. Make sure and follow instructions about starting off slowly.
Getting that left hand in shape
I knew I had a strength imbalance between my hands, especially when pressing down on my ukulele. With this, it's immediately obvious that my left hand is weaker than my right. I feel I'm getting stronger, but I can't make an objective asessment.
Great Product
Its a bummer that they never made (and don't plan to make) a PRO version of the x-light finger grip.
I feel that the pro is better designed due to its larger size... it also makes it feel more comfortable.
In either case i still feel that the x-light is a great starting point if you wanna work on your isolated pinky and ring finger. When i first bought the light (after buying the medium, which i bought after the x-heavy) i thought it was really easy, but once i used the x-light and went back i realized that i was doing the pinky completely wrong before because the light felt so much harder!
This product also seems to alleviate some pain on my mother's joint and muscles, so i guess this is also a good therepeutic product
Lastly, if you didnt realize it after reading my and others' reviews, this is NOT A HAND GRIP
Good but not what I expected
Apparently there are different models of this product that look the same. This one works, but the one I thought it was has the rubber bit movable so that all of the fingers can be used at once with a single bar.
