I suggest you buy something else. The straps are small and I easily broke it and I was trying to be very gentle with it because I knew it was prone to breaking. Trust me spend your money somewhere else it will break and it wild be a pain to replace. But I did get a lot better when it was working and still us the little red ball every blue moon.

At first I thought it was going to be ok. It was a little hard to get on but after that it was easy to use. It felt pretty good and I was able to feel the muscles building strength. I rested for a few minutes and tried again. This time the cord popped at the thumb. It was over then. The loops are too small for what I think are average fingers. I am a woman and my fingers barely fit. The thumb loop didn't have a chance. I also noticed my fingers were turning blue after 5 minutes of use. Loops are really tight. I will get my money back and try something else. If you have small hands then it will be ok for you.

This thing works really good, you have to put the bands all the way to your tips, and stretch it out as far as you can for as long as you can, at least until it hurts!! if you do that it will build your hand muscles like you wouldn't belive i have done it, and use it in the car on the way to work! thats the best! I now can play faster and more accurate! if you don't like this product then you must be using it wrong, it's supposed to hurt your hand at first, that means you are weak! after a few days it will be a lot easier!!

I bought this a few weeks ago. I found that the finger holes were a bit small for my hand, so I just took them off the ball and used it without. Although I didn't use the finger bands, they did feel fairly sturdy and the ball itself I found absolutely nothing wrong with.

I probably would have went with a different product knowing the finger holes were the size they are, but otherwise, a decent product.

I'm a rookie player, and after using this for a few weeks I have noticed a definite improvement in not only my playing but also in my strength in day-to-day menial activities. I'm surprised I got so much use out of this cheap tool. a great buy!
