The Stick is one of the greatest tools for working out the knots in sore muscles. The little stick is great for travel. One reason I got it is that I always have TSA look oddly at my full size stick when I have tried to take it with me in carry-on luggage. I haven't tried to get the little stick through airport security yet, but I expect fewer delays. It massages lower legs (Calves, Shins, etc) as well as the larger, but doesn't have the same leverage for hamstrings and hips as the larger sticks. In some ways it is better for calves as it has a nice flexibility.

I like this little stick. It's perfect for what I wanted and delivers the massage I was hoping for. The straight no give stick is much longer and does not flex and has never worked right for my needs. This gets my calf muscles and shins just right. The flex helps. I don't care of the handles vary or not it's how it works and functions. I didn't realize it would have broken up rollers but that's one of the ways it manages to work better than the other style. And the small size is perfect for me too.
Vendor packed it in to too big a box however. Otherwise it is what it is and expected what I got and hope it lasts a long time.

I've had it over a year now...actually going on two. And has held up. Still prefer it over the non-flexible tool too. I understand they make this in a larger size but seem to lean towards picking up a second one just like this rather than the larger size. I think perhaps for a larger person they might prefer a bit bigger one. But for me...it's just right for the job.

I bought this because I have started training for a half marathon and was getting cramps in my calves. I have used it for a while now and love it. I also use it for my hamstrings, quads, and even my neck. Definitely large enough to use for all over your body, no reason to buy the larger stick, at least for what I use it for.

"The Stick"'s manufacturer elected to change the handles of the Little Stick. The ones in the picture were much more ergonomic, and looked easier on the hands. The ones in the provided product not very comfortable.

This little stick fits in a backpack or small gym bag. It is perfect for use on calf muscles and quadriceps, and it really works for myofacial release on those areas where the foam roller is awkward.

My wonderful trainer uses these in her gym -- you roll the top, sides and bottom of your thighs and the sides and back of your calves, with relaxed hands and leg muscles. It magically removes my chronic knee pain--my knees are "knocked" and I have had issues for 35 years now. No drugs, no side effects--it just works. I can also use it on my neck.

This is the smaller size--useful for traveling. The ones in the gym are longer--also available here, but unless you have issues with reaching, this is fine.

I have been using the regular stick for about six months now. It is a wonderful product that really helps alleviate soreness and rejuvenate muscles quicker.

I got this so I could take it to work in a backpack. The full size stick fit in a standard backpack but not very well.

This stick is much firmer which means I can really get deep into the muscles. As another reviewer stated, it's a bit of a squeeze to get the sides of the thighs, but it still works. If you're looking for something with less give and more portable than the standard stick, this is well worth it.

This worked great for my tense muscles. I particularly like the size (travel) since I can carry it in my tote bag quite easily. I want to get the larger one for the back but this one (travel) works great for the thighs, calfs, arms, shoulders.

The stick is the best recovery tool for my achy legs after longs runs training for a marathon. I love the small size as I can bring it everywhere with me.

Just big enough for calves and thighs. Nice and portable. The handles are a little bit of overkill in the ergonomics department and make it less compact than it could be, but they don't detract from the overall effectiveness of this great little device.
