5.0 out of 5 stars Nice beginner tool, December 6, 2010

I really enjoy using this product - I use the "regular" model. As some have noted, it can be a little soft, but that's only on the squeezing (where our hands are typically stronger). Using the extension part of the ball is very challenging and tires the hand quickly. Once you are comfortable BOTH squeezing and extending, then move on to the firm ball. It might seem strange, but once the extension part of your hand is strengthened, I think you'll find the firm ball to be appropriate for squeezing. Also, these things go get broken in after awhile, keep that in mind.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy construction - broke in one week, April 21, 2008

We purchased several of the HandMaster Plus balls. The idea behind the product is terrific, but it is poorly manufactured. The loops that hook around the fingers broke within the first week of use, and a client had the same experience. Returning them for a refund wasn't easy, in fact, I think my assistant is still trying to find someone to take them back.

3.0 out of 5 stars Strong for the weak. Weak for the strong., December 2, 2010

I got the regular (red) version of this in a climbing comp because I was looking to improve my finger strength. Though it is a decent warm up tool, it's not something I could ever use to build strength. I suppose it would be great for someone with very weak hands, but if you have average strength hands and are looking to build very strong hands I would not recommend this tool. It took me over half an hour of using this on one arm for me to start to feel a burn.
