Summary: the stick
Comment: The Stick Marathon Stick
I first saw this product when working out with a trainer. He was using it on himself after a strenous workout. We talked about it and I had to get myself one to workout the kinks.

Summary: Terrible products, terrible waste of money.
Comment: I'm a personal trainer as well an athlete training for Ironman triathlon. At a recent event expo, I stopped at the "Stick" exhibit to explain that I was in fact terribly disappointed with their product. He agreed with me!!! But offered that the problem was in the model, that I needed to purchase the larger model to get the proper effects. Ohhh, I need the more expensive one to actually benefit, is that it? He began to demonstrate, causing me to abruptly insist that he stop because it was hurting me. He became extremely agressive in his demonstration and within seconds, actually brutalizing my muscles with this ridiculous gadgetry, inflamming nerves along the back of the leg which spurred severe cramping of the foot and toes!! Do not walk ... run. This is a terrible, worthless product sold by idiot nitwits that think its okay to man-handle people with detriment!!! They and their product have worsened any muscle fatigue or soreness that I had and I would give anything to hit him in the head with that ridiculous "STICK".

Summary: Too much flex
Comment: I already own 'The Big Stick' and it's a great product. This one however falls short.
I picked this one up so I could have something small at work to use since I'm terrible with getting around to using it at home.
The size is good and all, however there is far too much flex on this thing which does not allow me to get enough pressure on my target areas. The core rod is thinner than the larger models and therefore causes all this flex. I would say stick with something larger. This may be good for light work, but not for heavy tension such as I have.

Summary: just right
Comment: not the small(travel) or large version, but just right. the large one is nice but not always good for smaller people and/or women so this is a nice fit-wasnt quite sure by the picture and discription other than inches provided. great product and quality, arrived in a timely manner.

Summary: this stick saved my shins and I use it everyday before running!
Comment: this stick is great. I run 3-5 times a week at a very fast past and the faster i got I started getting bad shin splints. I bought this stick based on some ppl's recommendations and it truly works. I rested my shins and then massaged them with this stick and my shin splints disappeared. Now I used the stick to massage my entire legs before and after running. it really makes a difference and feels so good. it is really easy to use too - i sometimes use it on my back. even if you dont have shin splints but looking for an easy and effective massage tool - this is it.
