I did not like this mit at all. It frustrated the crap out of me during my tennis match. It is cut too small and is lined with a cotton fabric which sticks to your hand. If you need to blow your nose or do anything else when switching sides of the court, you cant take your hand out of the mit because it takes to long to get it situated back into it to start playing again. A complete waste of money.

Arrival: fast Packaging: excessive, if anything. Installation: easy (I used my own toggle bolts because I am paranoid) Capacity: we have four rackets on it and two cans of balls Misc: I like the rubber "coating" on the top bars so that the rackets don't get dinged or slip.

The storage rack arrived when the company said it would. Nothing was missing from the carton and it installed easily. What more could you ask for?

I checked around for heart rate monitor watches for several weeks and this watch was the best value for the money. It had the features I wanted and seemed to be priced at an affordable cost compared to other watches I looked at and compared. I have been very pleased with the watch once it arrived and I put it on. It is extremely easy to use and I like the fact that it is also water proof/resistent. It is very comfortable to wear all day and it has worked perfectly with no problems.

The MIO SPORT Heart Rate watch is so easy to use that one reading of the instructions and I was ready to go. I bought the watch to use with my treadmill. My treadmill is equipped with a heart rate but I felt the readings were too high. The MIO showed my true readings. Most outstanding is the percentage of heart rate use that the MIO reports. This is much more important than just the heart rate. And you don't have to wear a strap around your chest! The only drawback that I have experienced is the size of the readout. I wear bi-focal glasses and must use them to be able to see the readout.

Return it for a refund..... it worked correctly about 10% of the time...Bought one at Walmart that works much better.

So I'm 44, and just started jogging. I didn't want to go all out with a chest strap unless I get really serious, besides I'm very hairy and I have read where that doesn't work so well. So I'm up to 8 minutes jogging and 2 minutes walking, for 3 sets. This watch works great for the down time. I can check my heart rate as soon as I start walking and see where it's at. It's been great for me! I have tried as high as 12 minutes, felt great but at the end of that I was at 182, which is over my maximum, so I'll keep increasing the minutes slowly until I can go for 30 minutes straight. This watch is a vital part of my goal. If I ever get to where I'm running non-stop based on my heart rate, then a cheat monitor makes sense.

I loved this watch when it worked. During your exercise; it tells calories burned, your percent of heartrate, is strapless, and is personalized to you. It gets your heartrate from your pulse during your exercise, an acceptable accuracy. When it stopped working, I had the battery changed at a jeweler and the heart rate part of the watch never worked again. The upside is it's fairly cheap at Walmart or here at Amazon. So I'll probably purchase another one. Next time, I won't spend the $8 on a battery, I'll use that money towards the $29.99 cost of this heartrate monitor watch. Or maybe I'll get an exerspy for my birthday. Thanks and stay healthy!

I have suffered on and off from knee pain when running for a few years now. It seems to act up most when training for marathons. I have tried a few different knee straps to treat the problem - ChoPat, Mueller, etc. This one is the worst. I liked the idea of the V-shaped rubberized brace that can help your knee track more accurately. The problem with this brace is that the strap has no elastic. It is single piece of velcro and has no stretch. Thus it is impossible to put it on correctly. You have to make it either too tight or too loose

I don't understand where the Kneed-it, was supposed to hold. It didn't hold my knee straight at all and didn't help me with the pressure. I felt like this didn't help me at all, and I had to return it.

This product has eliminated my hip pain! Yes, I said HIP pain. Believe it or not, but it's true! I am 43 yrs old and have been suffering from right hip pain for over a year now. My left leg is a little longer than my right which over the years has affected my spine and hip. My son's PT suggested I try the Kneed-It on my left knee. (I wear it on my left knee and it relieves the pain in my right hip) Yes, I thought she was crazy as well, but figured I had nothing to lose...except $20 for the Kneed-It. Well, it was only a day or two before the pain in my hip completely went away and hasn't returned. I can hardly believe it myself, but it's true. All I can tell you is try it. It has worked wonders for me. I am on a treadmill 3x/wk and fairly active. I wear it all day and take it off at night. The best $20 I ever spent!!

We bought this product at the recommendation of a physical therapist to help our 13 year old soccer player with Osgood Schlatter disease in his knee. It has not been at all helpful for this condition.

Perhaps it's that this product is not designed to alleviate pain for knee pain in the front, below the knee cap, which is why I purchased it. If it is, I found it to b ineffective. My knee sleeve provides far more relief.

I purchased this as a second option to deal with my tennis elbow (my first purchase was Futuro Tennis Elbow Support (w / tension pad), One Size/ADJ, Black, 1 Support (Pack of 2)) Pros: Price, all foam (comfort), strong velcro, large air filled tendon pad. Cons: All foam- not very durable. After a week of wear, the foam is starting to come off in pieces. In short, I use this one for just casual wear around the house so as not to aggravate the tendon (I've even slept with it on). I use the Futuro band when I'm more active (actually playing tennis) or working in the yard. My optimal choice would be the Futuro band with this Air Cell tendon pad.

Great product at at great price. It holds enough balls to feed my tennis ball machine.

Love this hopper. A must have and a real back-saver. Solid design yet light even when full.

This is a must have for those with a ball machine or anyone practicing. I like the dual position design and the ability to use the hopper in the standing position, however it is top heavy and can tip over easily.

I am very happy with this purchase! Just set the basket on top of the ball and it squeezes though the bars and ends up in the basket. Simple design but very effective.

First off, we bought two of these because of price, size, and look. They are cavernous and hold a lot of balls. For the occasional player that may use it a couple times a week, emptying and filling the hopper a couple times each use I am sure that this hopper would hold up. Unfortunately we use these every day, and fill and empty the hoppers at least 20 time a day since my wife teaches lessons. Here are the major drawbacks: 1) The nuts come loose very easily and will rattle off and get lost regularly. This requires constant attention so as to assure that the nuts remain in place and tight. I finally bought some thread lock to prevent this, but it was still frustrating to have to purchase something else to make these hoppers functional. 2) The welds that hold the leg holders to the basket are very weak and WILL break. Quite frustrating that after 2 months of use one of these is unusable. 3) There are 2 clips per leg to keep the hopper from tipping over, or the legs slipping on the ground. These are nice, but because the clips are too close together for the legs it is only practical and convenient to use only one of them for each leg. Trying to force the legs into place is very inconvenient. Overall I would not buy this product again. Nice, but for the amount of times we use it, it is not rugged enough.

This overgrip is the best I have ever used. I used many kind of overgrip. Tourna, Babolat, Yonex...but, "Wilson overgrip" is best. Very comfortable tacky feel!

This is the best overgrip. I have tried several different types and brands, and I continually come back to this grip. Almost everyone I know prefers this overgip. It has a great feel, and is durable enough to last a week or two for playing at least 2-3 times a week. The grip gives great comfort for playing, and also gives more control and feel for the racquet.

I cannot change my original rating down to 4-star: I think it's important to know what racket you play with. I play with Wilson K-Six-One 90". The original grip (white) was pretty good and lasted more than a month (then it got dirty and worn out because of sweat). So I wanted to get next grip also white in color and I found this one on Amazon - with everyone giving it 5-star reviews. I think, people have over-rated this product. This is atmost a 4-star worthy product. I give this 4-star because of the pricing for bulk purchase and not the best grip quality. Another factor to consider, the rating and tenure: I'm a 4.0 player and I've been playing for 3+ years now. The good: - Good tennis racket grip for the bulk price (30 grips, not a bad deal at all) The bad: - It does not fit my racket handle completely (I've had to use white tape to close the 1" gap - at the top!). You could argue that maybe I'm not putting the new grip properly, but trust me - I've done many grips and other grips I've used don't give you this trouble :-) - This grip is barely lasting 1 week for my play of twice a week. Better grips will last you 2-3 weeks easily. - For the 1 week it lasts, this grip becomes unfriendly (due to sweat) after 3-4 hours of play. It does absorb sweat, but after 3-4 hours I have found it causes the racket to slip. A better grip will continue to stick in your hand :-) Recommendation: - If you are price conscious, go with this. - If you want the better quality, go with this: http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Overgrip-Tennis-Racquet-Grip/dp/B0015FI0MY/ref=pd_ts_sg_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods ...... I will try this next as soon as I consume my remaining grips.

This is the best overgrip out there. It gives you better touch and control over your racquet.

I should have read the reviews. Thought I was buying 8 dampeners; all I received was 2 smiling faces. What a rip off!!!

Wish I had read the reviews before I ordered. I thought I was buying eight dampeners, but received only two smiley faces, the two of the eight I wanted the least. This is totally false advertising. Beware of smiling faces.

False advertising. It looks like you get a set of 8 but all I got were 4 smiley faces. Not good.

I agree with Kirten, who also thought she bought all 8 but only received 2, and both the same. My son was very unhappy, as we paid a lot for shipment to Denmark.

There is a picture of multiple dampeners--yet you are only buying two. You cannot even tell which two. Very misleading.

Timely delivery. Very satisfied with the pack. I use it when I travel so I can carry all my things plus my rackets.

I enjoy playing Tennis on my Wii; I thought having an actual tennis racket would enhance the experience. The design of this racquet, with the Wii remote inside the handle seemed like just the ticket. Using the racquet certainly did enhance the playing experience, however the plastic handle of the racquet was anything but comfortable. After playing for a short period of time it was obvious that any long term use of this racquet was out of the question. The other annoying aspect of the design is that it blocks communication from the wii remote.

These rackets look good and work well. The only problem is that all the adult males, like over 5' 8' or so end up hitting the ceiling with them on accident. My girls, who are both 5' 4' come close, but don't hit it. My father, my husband, etc can not use these though because they always hit the ceiling with them. This of course is not a product problem, but if you have 8 foot ceilings where you play Wii you might want to reconsider this purchase.

I ordered this product along with Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii, based largely in part on the 5 star review by "J. M. Manson". After receiving the item, I realized that the aforementioned review is so inaccurate that it must have been written deliberately to mislead buyers. Probably by someone with some financial stake in this product. 1. Let's start with the most important issue first: the product doesn't work as described. When you play tennis on the Wii, the controller is held so that the buttons face the ceiling and the left and right edges represent the forehand and backhand. Well when you do that with this device, guess what? The racquet faces the ceiling also. Anyone play real tennis with the racquet facing the sky? Didn't think so. 2. It is not the same size or weight as a real tennis racquet, unless you play tennis with a racquet 16" long that weighs 4 ounces. 3. You can't use the Wii jacket with it at all. 4. It holds the remote very loosely, using only a few flimsy plastic tabs. 5. The product is made of cheap, thin plastic that I have no doubt would have cracked within a month had I bothered to use it more than once or twice. Take the money you were going to spend on this and use it to light a fire in your fireplace and it would be a better use of the funds.

This racket is very cool. It has the weight of a real tennis racket and really makes you feel that you are playing tennis. I have played hours of Wii Tennis and have had no problems. Buy it! I just bought a second one for when I playing doubles with a "real" person.

I bought this for my son to use. I was not impressed, was made of hard plastic that is uncomfortable a to hold. I wish I would have just ordered the softer Nerf Wii attachments.
