Which roller would be considered the "roughest" one to use? That is the best one for the most challenging dry skin and calluses.

The dark green one that I believe is called the Extreme or Extremely Course. The next down the chain is the black Extra Course and it's good too. The purple one is almost a buffer, it's for elbows. I use the dark green one on my husband's heels, then smooth with the black one.

I am using the green Extreme Coarse rollers with great results, but I haven't tried them all.

find my name in the reviews, there is a slide with all the roller details and the differences

Definately the extra coarse, but I have to say it's the only one I've used. Love this thing!

I am not a trained expert, just an average person. Pain as in muscle tightness, the roller can help and I would recomend. As mentioned it does require a good amount of pressure and possitionin to help with a tight back or general muscles in the back. If there is sharp pain or troubles with mobility with the spine, i would not recomend.

we got a few. Just be sure to "brush" it off after use. The extra coarse roller is great for the tough spots!

The grooves on the Rumble Roller is the key. My Personal Trainer suggested that I purchase this specific one to help me with the tightness in my calves. They will dig into your trigger points with however amount of pressure you apply on it. It's awesome. My calves are looser. It's my best friend for working tight muscles and other areas that need working on

The original stick bends a bit more. There is no difference in the hardness of the rollers. If you have normal muscle stiffness then go with the original stick. If you have stiffer muscles or you are muscular then use the stiff stick. I have the stiff stick and it works great.

I am guessing your using the roller for cellulite? ?? Or discoloration? ??? I was told to use a 1.0 for those issues....this roller only is good for the product that is used on the skin to penetrate better but rollers with longer needles(like the 1.0 roller) stimulate collogen and heals the skin of marks and discoloration.

This is a guess Terry, as you haven't provided much to go on, but you may find that one had harder, denser projections than the other. I'm sorry, but without access to the exact info in the web page you are viewing, I can't tell you which is which, though my guess would be that the cheaper one is the softer one. I hope that helps, such as it is. Unless you are an experienced rumble roller user, personally I would opt for the soft option.

Short bumps are hard but not prickly. They need to be to do the job. It is firm but not painful to use. I recommend. I doubt rollers work as well.

Yup. It's rougher than a loofah. It's not like scrubbing yourself with sandpaper or anything, but it's definitely the nice kind of rough. You'll like it.

Maybe a .5 mm roller. You're not supposed to use the 1.5 for your face. That one is used for the body; like the stomache and arm area

I've been using it on my feet and it works very well. I have used the coarsest roll but there are roll attachments that are finer that might work on dry skin. I don't really have callouses and it helps make my feet nice and smooth.

I actually did try the soft foam for about 4 years before I transition to the hard plastic rollers. The problem with the other is that they get old and lumpy fast... This one lasts forever :)

IMO the rollers heat to a way too hot temperature. They can burn your fingers, your head, and your hair. I have fairly fine hair and they burned it to the point it broke off.

This depends on how hard you push when rolling and how sensitive your skin is. Most people will be able to use the roller to the point that it feels and looks like a light sunburn for the evening. By not pushing as hard, the skin recovery will also be faster. allowing you to use it more often. Some people that do have sensitive skin will use a numbing cream, but the vast majority of people would not need to use to reduce pain.

This is the only rumble roller that I have owned. I can't compare the firmness of any other rumble roller. If your back is tender you may want to consider purchasing a regular foam roller. When I first purchased foam rollers, they were sold by colors to indicate the firmness of the roller. The white was the softest, green was a medium and the black was the firmest. I alternate between my regular black foam roller and the rumble roller, depending on how intense of a massage I need. I find the rumble roller is good for people that have "graduated" from the regular foam rollers. The bumps on the rumble roller can be very intense if you are not use to it. I hope this answers your question. Good luck!

This is not the most firm roller I've used. I think it will be fine. You can try beginning on carpet, then work up to a hard surface (wood/tile). It's not supposed to be fun. :)

It's fantastic...use mine almost daily...I also have a firmer roller...no comparison...this softer roller is luxury. I use it to do the MELT Method.
