Are these special balls any better than a plane new tennis ball for carpel tunnel &amp; arthitius theraphy ?

Yes. Tennis balls are just too big and the therapy balls offer different levels from hard to soft. I use the soft one every night and roll it around my fingers like the magicians do and it has helped a lot.

It could be but I am not sure, as both my husband and I have osteoarthritis in our thumbs and fingers and wrists. Very helpful for that pain but it may be similar to that with carpal tunnel.

Yes, but I have arthritis and carpel tunnel in my dominant hand. So, I am not sure it would hurt the average, more healthy person. However, it does take about ten minutes before my hands becomes sore. :)

No. That I strut the only flaw that I have found with them. I have carpal tunnel and have quite a bit of discomfort in my wrist while lifting... These cloves are fantastic for protecting your palms from callouses, but there is NO wrist support.

sorry I don't know since I don't have carpal tunnel. My doctor thought it might be due to a bone chip and he said to try it. It does help the pain that I sometimes I have when I flex my wrist. Hope this helps.

There's no comparison. Compared to this, the Pedi Egg might as well be making your callouses worse. It's easier to hold and the blades are much more effective.

As Jeanette B said, I don't think this is a cure anymore than oxycodone is a "cure", but it does bring relief. I have carpal tunnel flair-ups and lower back spasms from time to time and this stuff provides temporary relief.

They can hurt but since I'm not doctor I can't say for sure that they will help. Try them and see for yourself if they help. They are good for carpal tunnel.

I purchased this for my 2 daughters because they would twist their wrist when releasing the ball (it can lead to medical trouble for your are and elbow area doing so). Once they started using this brace, it was a wodnerful difference in how they release the ball (no more turning the wrist). Hopefully this helps.

I use mine every night. Naturally it took a little getting use to, but has helped tremendously with pain and numbness from carpel tunnel

I got it to help both me and my dad who have carpal tunnel issues, but the volume isn't great and I agree that the design is not optimal. If you are happy with the volume, I suggest duct tape...:(

I used Almost Golf training balls and it worked. The balls are little more dense than standard foam balls.

Yes. I used to use tennis balls, but these work much better, while still being just as gentle. They have more heft, no dyes to rub off, and no rubbery smell.

Most definitely yes. I use normal golf balls as well as practice balls. It's a fabulous device. A little tricky to learn how to refold, but after a few times you get it.

I haven't used this item for those two specific sports. I bought them to play racquetball which has allot of cutting and bending and they have performed excellently.

Just bought a pair at a local sporting goods store. They're supposed to have bigger ball bearings (thus smoother rotation) and appear bigger than the original Perfect Pushups. Also they're manufactured by a different company, although both endorsed by the same creator, Alden Mills. Also they're about double the price. I would say they're worth it if you don't mind the price tag.

I haven't had the opportunity to give the new ones a try yet so I can't say which is a better choice btwn the two. I will say that the gripper glove is definitely a great glove to incorporate into workouts when your hands get truly sore, no matter what level of experience or strength you may have.
