    I remember seeing these from a professional yoyo-er...
    Those gloves makes your hand...(how can I say this) stronger?
    After exercising with those, a KT will feel like a tipless/gripless BICtory.

    Flexing with the Xtensor between gaming sessions will make your reaction-times much quicker...

    That's the most bullshit sales pitch i have ever heard. From that one sentence alone i can only conclude that this is nothing but an overpriced and useless piece of shit. biglaugh.gif

    Just get the Gripmaster. It accomplishes the same thing for a much lower price and comes in a variety of tensions.

    I agree, even if it does make your fingers stronger that won't make you react faster. Say you have a really strong buff person, they don't usually react very fast. Yeah, I'm not going to buy it stupid.gif

    That's like saying lifting free weights is no different from using a bowflex or a total gym for instance.

    It's strength training, I'm guessing that those cords act more like resistence then pressure. You gotta use all your muscles to stablize it instead of just using pressure. It's a mix between flexibility and strength.

    It would give you a burst in your reaction time because when you don't have it on after using it your going to compensate for the resistance that won't be there, making you press a little faster.

    Price is a different story. I have plenty of strength in my fingers from being a computer junky since I was 8, but some of my fingers lack flexibility (I.E. The pinky)

    I agree they are overexaggerating on the MUCH quicker reaction time.

    EDIT: iMatt: nice state, I live in Shakopee & work in edina. Rents live in Lakeville. Grew up in South MPLS.

    Never been there, I don't go north much anymore.

    I live right behind Canterbury, literally right behind it and down the street from the Mystic. Not much in to gambling though, but the events are sometimes good.

    In Conclusion, I think the super hand energizer would work but not for 40 bucks. Take your GF out to dinner with that 40, get you some points.

    If exercising your hands will keep you from experiencing carpo tunnel syndrome....then.....pen spinning should do that too!!!!

    I feel a new topic coming up soon!!! teh Health Benefits of Pen Spinning!!!!

    I believe that it's quite the opposite. Pen spinning can be one of the CAUSES of carpal tunnel.
