Customer Reviews

Love it.
By Quinn
I just read the 2 reviews on this HydroFlask posting and was surprised (so much so that I am writing my first review...I think). I have the 18 oz Black Butte and the 24 oz Everest Blue flasks and will never buy another brand of bottle. Seriously. Never.

I fill one at night to keep by the bed and it's still cold then next day after work (if I don't drink it all, obviously). I've even left it in the car (in the heat)and (yep) STILL COLD FOR HOURS! I haven't tried hot beverages in it, but I'm pretty sure it works just as well. I have purchased these for all (okay, well, many) of my friends and they are hooked, too. A couple of friends purchased ones to keep beer cold; it's much easier than carrying bottles or cans (and less obvious while at a festival).

To the guy that wants one you can open with one hand: they have various types of caps on their website; order the sports cap. Someone said they took it hiking and it worked but only gave it 3 stars with no explanation on why; probably not the most helpful review.

IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR AN ACCURATE conglomerate of reviews...look at the other Hydroflask listing. You will be better informed. There are 35 reviews on the other posting and it's averaging 5 stars. That should tell you something.

Now...if HydroFlask would only find a way to use that fantastic technology on a bladder for my CamelBak...I would be the happiest hiker in the PNW.

Amazing, BUT DON'T DROP IT!
By C. L. Tidball
I brought one of the 21oz wide mouth varieties of this bottle at the trading post in Grand Marais, MN less than two weeks ago. I LOVED IT!! It's absolutely amazing, being able to keep ice in the bottle for 24+ hours, and keeping water cold for 48+ hours.

However, as the title says, DON'T DROP IT on any sort of hard surface. Yesterday, I accidentally dropped it on asphalt. I thought all that had happened with it was some cosmetic damage (a bit of the bottom-to-side "cornering" got warped)... however, it seems like there's enough warping to cause micro-fractures, which broke the vacuum, because now it isn't keeping ice, well, ice-y. GRRRRR.

This would be a 5-star review, were it not for the fact that one. simple. drop. could break the fundamental purpose of this water bottle.

good drink bottle
By P. Morris
These bottles are real nice. The only comment that I have is if you have a choice between the narrow neck bottle and the standard neck, get the standard neck. It is much easier to put ice into!!!!!!

Works fairly well but terrible construction
By W. Yang
I loved this umbrella when I first got it. I live in Jersey City, which, being right on the water, is actually far windier than downtown Manhattan, where I work. Every time it rains, every trash bin on every corner is stuffed with another umbrella thrashed by the wind. So I hunted down the Gustbuster Metro.

At first use, it was great. I never felt blown around by the wind, like I did with other umbrellas. And it never inverted or bended much. Then very soon, the umbrella started unraveling bit by bit. The first problem was one of the velcro straps. The stitching came undone and the strap was hanging off. My wife was able to sew it back on. Not a big deal.

Then, one of the fiberglass ribs that gives the umbrella structure broke from its plastic rivet. All of the ribs broke off from the umbrella itself, so when the umbrella is closed, it collapses into a gelatinous mess. This all happened very quickly, in only a few months of use.

On top of all of the defects, the construction just doesn't look very well-done. The plastics used look cheap, and the metal parts are not thoughtfully designed, and can easily cut and poke the user.

I'm giving this 2 stars, because when I use it, it does do a very good job of breaking wind. But it terrible construction quality. I would recommend you steer clear of this umbrella.

Wonderful umbrella
By Rusty L. Mehlberg
Being a college student, I needed an umbrella for all the walking I did. On those days that there was only a chance of rain, I didn't want to lug a big umbrella around. I wanted an umbrella that could fit in my backpack for easy carrying and keep me reasonably dry. All the ones I tried in the past either didn't fit in my backpack, keep me really dry, or broke when the winds got strong.

Then I tried the Gustbuster. This umbrella is the best one yet. It fits in my backpack and has kept its shape in high winds, and thus keeps me dry. It has worked prefectly for me and I am very satisfied with it.

Strongly built!
By Basil J. Whiting
It's a bit early for a full review since I've had the umbrella only a month and haven't used it in "gusts" yet. But, it is handsome, clearly well designed with the flutes to dissipate gusts, very strongly built, and opens crisply. My only disappointment is that it is smaller than I'd expected and need (I am 6'6" and need a larger umbrella to keep my feel/legs from getting too wet). The dimension quoted in the ads is not the diameter across the opened canopy (which would have sufficed), but the distance from rim-to-rim with the tape laid on the canopy, meaning the actual diameter is smaller.

Customer Reviews

Lives up to its name
By Reads While Walking
My commute to work involves what can be described only as a walk through a wind tunnel. The trash barrel near my office always has at least one umbrella in it, and my sturdy Totes 34" umbrella was blown inside out by the wind here.

I am pleased to say the GustBuster has worked perfectly and I am very pleased with my purchase. I would say I would buy another one, but I don't foresee this umbrella ever failing. This is an excellent umbrella.

Classic beauty goes high-tech
By Joseph Ekaitis
I fold, as in, "I give up." I've owned my share of "wind-resistant" folding umbrellas and none of them lived up to the claim. Even GustBuster makes a folding umbrella but I was drawn to this one's classic beauty.

It's not so bulky that you can't take it everywhere and the canopy is the perfect size for him or her, or in a pinch, him AND her. The real wood crook-shaped handle gives it a touch of class. The opening mechanism relies on the proven coil-spring system, but that's where the similarity to other solid-shaft automatics ends.

Fiberglas takes the place of metal in the parts that might attract lightning, making the GustBuster light for its size but just as sturdy. Unzip the two Velcro straps, push the button and two canopies pop open to shield you from the rain. The raindrop-shaped openings allow the wind to pass between the canopies. Then aerodynamics take over, forcing the canopies to retain their shape instead of turning inside out. Elastic straps hold down the upper canopy, eliminating a gap where the rain might sneak in. A video of GustBuster's wind-cannon testing confirms their claims. You can see it at GustBuster's website (just tack on the ".com"). Combine this high level of engineering and thoughtful design with GustBuster's affordable pricing on all their umbrellas and it adds up to possibly the best umbrella value.

Ugly bright colored logo ruins a classic looking umbrella
By Charles
The umbrella works fine, however what does not show in the picture is that there's a very ugly Gustbuster logo that is embroidered on one of the umbrella straps that is "multicolored and quite bright." It makes an otherwise classic looking umbrella look cheap and tacky.

How are you going to beat this deal?!

By Jeff Lathrop

I paid less then 50 cents a ball for these Wilson's. I shoot in the lower to mid 80's, and these work great for my game. On a forgiving course where I don't usually lose a ball, I like playing Pro V's, but I pay too much for them to lose two or three a round...enter the Wilson Titanium! I like the feel these give me. I've read other reviews where these balls were criticized for a lack of feel around the greens. I disagree. They feel soft and give good feedback after each shot. I can back spin them from 100 yards in and they last for one or two rounds. How much more can you ask of a 50 cent golf ball?

Excellent purchase

By warddog

This was a great deal for the amount of balls you get. The package came in a timely manner and everything was correct. I would do business with the vendor again.

Product Description
Now your kids can safely, quietly and effectively drive themselves with the Razor E100 Electric Scooter! Give your child the power to zip around the neighborhood, ride to the park or visit a friend at speeds up to 10 MPH with the most trusted electric scooter on the market. The thrill of power meets cutting edge technology with this kid-sized ride. The environmentally-friendly electric power engages a super quiet chain driven motor- great for you, your kids and your neighbors! The E100 offers up to 40 minutes of continuous use and features simple, twist-grip acceleration control. Razor offers a range of electric scooters for ages eight (E100) to adult (E200 and E300).

Cruise around the neighborhood in style with the Razor E100 electric scooter. Boasting a chain-driven, high-torque motor, and a handy twist-grip throttle, the E100 is the perfect device for pre-teens and teens wanting to zip over to a friend's house or head to the park. Unlike Razor's E300S and E500S scooters--whose motors start from a standing position--the E100 requires a small manual kickoff to 3 miles per hour before starting (the rider presses a trigger to engage the motor). Once the rider is on the move, however, the electric motor ramps up to 10 miles per hour--fast enough to have fun, but not fast enough to be a menace on the street or sidewalk. And thanks to the long-life rechargeable battery, which takes about eight hours to fully charge, riders can cruise for up to 40 minutes at a stretch.

Product Description
The original kick scooter, the Razor A is a handy little ride for kids and teens alike.

Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest.

The Razor A is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Its T-tube and deck, meanwhile, fold up into a compact footprint, so riders can fit the scooter inside a bag or carry it at their side when riding isn't appropriate (it weighs around 6 pounds). And thanks to the 98mm inline-style urethane wheels, ABEC 5 bearings, and patented rear fender brake, riders will always feel smooth and in control when kicking along the sidewalk.

Customer Reviews

Yes, it is like the informercial says
By Krykie
This product is what I expected from the infomercial - the infomercial is a good representation of what you'll get. The DVDs are good, come in a small case (no excess packaging to exaggerate or compensate for lack of real product). The accompanying written materials are good too.

However, I found that I wasn't quite in shape enough when P90X arrived to use it well. I went back and bought Tony Horton's "Power Half Hour" and used that for a few weeks first - had to wake up some muscles I've let go dormant. I've been in good shape most of my life, but kind of got lazy lately

Make no mistake; this is a commitment. The workouts are long, and hard, but they are engaging. No geeky cheesy cheerleader pep talks in the DVD, and no arrogant gym rat jerks either. If I win the lottery, I'll try to hire Tony as my personal trainer; he has a good positive attitude, and seems to keep the workouts real with a sense of humility and humor.

The segment timer is great. Though the workouts are typically an hour long, he has "chunked" them down into segments, with a "progress bar" on the screen - kind of like the bar on the computer - so you can adjust your pace or your mindset with the workout.

Tony uses both men and women of differing degrees of flexibility and fitness; there's always a body on the screen up there to help me with my own form.

I'm a former Marine - and this is used to replace my "daily thirteen." If only I knew about some of these workouts back in the day... So I give it a thumbs up from the perspective of some really challenging workouts I've experienced in the past.

Overall, a good deal. But be warned, it isn't for the fat couch potato. Like the infomercial says, its for folks that want to get in BETTER shape; the expectation is that you already are in shape and want to take it to the next level.

Not a penny wasted!
By Angelus Draven
*Original Power 90 review*
Let me first say that i'm one of the people that tried the regular Power 90 workout videos at first. I was pretty much a couch potato who would work out once in a while, and then just stop completely for several months. Power 90 is a decent workout for people who are trying to get back into shape who want to get into a mediocre level of fitness; or just maintain an average body.

Why did I spend all those years in the gym?
By Garvinstomp
There's so many positive things to say about this product it's hard to know where to begin. I'll try to avoid covering too much familiar ground of the other reviews. So let's start by saying this: It absolutely works. What's great about this program is that it addresses ALL your fitness needs. Whereas most workout videos/programs tend to focus on either strength training or cardio or flexibility or target specific areas, P90X does it all. Just be aware that you'll have to invest in a pull up bar (although alternatives are given for substituting power bands, but nothing beats the bar), some dumbells or power bands (the bands work fine if you're looking to tone up or travel with them, but for people really looking to do some work and get their Bruce Lee on, dumbells are a must), a yoga mat, possibly some push-up stands (they're worth it, or you can just use your dumbells if you have the kind shaped like a hex or a square), and a heart-rate monitor isn't bad either. I'm 30 and I've been an avid gym rat since I was 15. This thing beat me up the first time through. Plus, I'm flexible like I've never been before which makes life so much better getting out of bed not being stiff. Best of all, my abs are chiseled better than when I was 20. Tough to argue with that. Alright, enough about me, I think one of the strongest points of this program is it's level of customization.

The way the program works is this: For the first three weeks you'll do strength training workouts on days 1,3, and 5(each bodypart being worked once per week with the exception of the back-you're gonna do A LOT of pull-ups/chin-ups). On days 2,4, and 6 you'll do some form of cardio (yoga, plyo, kenpo). And then on day 7 you have an optional stretch. Then on week 4 you completely remove the resistance days and they're replaced with other types of cardio and stretching (the Core routine is amazing). In weeks 5-7 you keep the same days 2,4, and 6, but you have all new videos for the resistance days so your muscles are forced to adapt and grow and avoid plateauing. Week 8 is the same as week 4, allowing you to catch up for the final push. Weeks 9 and 11 are the same as 1-3, weeks 10 and 12 are the same as 5-7, and then there's the final week, same as 4 and 8. I know it may sound a bit confusing, but it's all laid out very clearly and concisely in the accompanying book. Plus, you'll be doing abs on the resistance days.

Customer Reviews
Good value
attery life is good and the whole package seems pretty well-built. My only compliant is that the front headlight is not very bright. It serves to let other people know you're there, but definitely does not sufficiently light up the road in front of you. The rear light works just fine.

For the price, however, I don't think this can be beat. If you're looking for a cheap but usable bike light set, this is the way to go.

Help for your decision
Up front, a large disclaimer - I do not own this product, and gave it 3 stars as a 'guessed at' rating.

So why am I writing a review? Well, I thought I'd pass along a very helpful bit of information I received while I debated between this bike light set and a similar, more expensive one from Planet Bike also offered by Amazon. This light set includes the Beamer 1 headlight, while the more expensive one features the 1/2 watt Blaze headlight (also from Planet Bike). In reading the reviews I saw where people had said the Beamer 1 was a bit dim, but that didn't clarify things for me.

Sturdy contruction but not very bright
I thought this light would suffice for my short ride home from work every night but its has a much more limited scope than I was expecting. If I could do it again, I would have splurged for a bigger light. Works great and has sturdy construction but is definitely the minimum you need for night riding.

Giro Indicator Sport Bike Helmet

Product Description
The Indicator's smooth, confident style and amazing ventilation are combined in a modern design that compliments every type of rider. It's the perfect mix for riding roads, trails and everything in between.

As a result, the Indicator helmet is the perfect choice for riding downtown, up a technical climb, and everything in between. The helmet is built using Giro's in-mold construction, which fuses the helmet's outershell with the impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. The helmet also includes 20 built-in vents, which thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head while forcing heat and stale air out. And riders will love the helmet's snap-fit visor, which shields your eyes on bright, sunny days.

SURVIVED CRASH
I bought this helmet last September. Excellent fit, very comfortable, light, and good ventilation. It's protection ability was tested yesterday when I hit a curb wrong and went flying - cracked the helmet & recieved 16 stiches to my eye but no concusion or other head injury... which really surprised the emergency room doctor. I'm buying the exact same model today as my replacement.

Great Helmet
This helmet was really exactly what I wanted. It has a good fit and actually looks good on my head. The cheapo helmets that I was looking at at local retail stores were gigantic on my head (super thick) and I looked like a kid riding his bike in a cereal commercial or something. This has a much better 'low profile' design and it includes several extra cushioning pads that you can place where you want to inside the helmet. Very good purchase!

Good price for what you get, but not big faces
You can tell the dramatic difference in the weight of this helmet versus a comparably priced Bell helmet. It's as light as they get, comfortable, and definitely keeps your head cool.

The big negative and the reason for 2 stars is the Y shaped adjustable connecter that connect the two straps on each side of the ear to form the single strap that connects under jaw.

Most Y connectors allow the straps to lay flat against your cheek, this one however forces a twist to the straps as they enter the connector, making the strap and connector rest at an angle on your cheek. Not only is this very uncomfortable, but I imagine very un-aerodynamic. My friend has a bigger round face (he's overweight) and it was very uncomfortable. I am in shape and still had the strap angle on my cheeks instead of resting flat, so just adjusted the Y connector under my jaw line so I didn't have to feel it. That worked fine for me and still felt secure and safe for an accident, but my friend could not adjust it that low given his facial structure. The only good thing about the Y connector is it flips open easily with a finger so you can adjust it up or down quickly without a mirror. However, the way it rests on your cheeks is unacceptable and should never have made it to the assembly line (imo).

It's not bad for medium to low bike crime areas
Kryptonite STD U Lock seems to be a very decent lock but it still can be "infiltrated" by a knowledgeable master thief/master lock picker in probably under 1 hour time. I'm not too worried since it is sizable, hefty looking and very heavy (4 lbs), so it looks bigger than what I saw on other bikes in the bike rack and my bike is only valued at $500. Plus most bike thieves are just simple crooks with a few tools (a bike crook in public with a 20 Pound Sledge Hammer, hacksaw, 42-inch bolt cutters, 12-inch screwdriver, 20-inch crowbar, and claw hammer will be very obvious and suspicious working for one hour on a lock).

Most bike thieves have limited time, looking for an "easy" and quick target. If you beef up your security with the bulky Kryptonite STD U Lock, odds are he'll go for a bike with a cheap lock (cheap chain or cable locks are a certain way to get your bike stolen in the bike rack). Many bikes are stolen because they're not even locked ("I'll just be a sec!"). Many bikes are also stolen because the locks are used incorrectly or left open/unlocked by mistake.

Kryptonite STD U Lock. The keys are very flimsy and forged with cheap metal so I won't be surprised in 12 months that they snap or are damaged. The Lock holder (cheap plastic) didn't work on my bike as the Lock is too big to fit anywhere so I just snug it into my rear rack.

Comes with a cable (be warned, it can be cut quite easily so don't use it as a "main attachment" to a pole, bike rack, etc, just use it to secure your rear or front tires with the U Lock attached to a pole, bike rack, etc, or run the cable through both the seat and the rear tire with the U Lock fastened to a solid object).

You should use a cable lock ONLY to secure your front or rear tire to the bike frame or bike rack. ALWAYS attach the U Lock to a solid, fixed object (lamppost, pole, road sign, fence, bike rack, etc). A cable lock is NOT a primary security tool to secure your bike. Never rely on a cable to anchor your whole bike, it can take someone a few seconds to cut through a cable lock. Always use a high quality U-lock or hefty chain as your MAIN locking device and cables as secondary devices.

In spite of AT LEAST 5 known attempts by petty German bike thieves to break through the Kryptonite STD U Lock, it's held up and has been an eminent tool in my bike lock collection (my secondary cable/cheap Chain locks securing my front tire have ALWAYS been cut).

Good lock, scammy protection offer
I like the lock. It's for a cheap ($100) bike. When I get a more expensive bike I'll buy the New York Std (yellow sleeve) lock.

I think the Kryptonite locks are a good value. But, the "protection offer" is almost insulting to my intelligence. You have to read the box carefully to realize you're only getting an *offer*, not protection. You can buy protection for 1-2 years. And, the terms of protection are so ridiculously tedious that you wonder why they even offer. The terms sound like they don't want you to use it.

Here's an example: You have to register your keys and serial number of your bike within 15 days. Why a time limit? I bought my lock before receiving my bike. Why should it matter to Kryptonite that I bought the lock 2-3 months ago?

Also, you can't transfer the lock/insurance to another bicycle. Why would Kryptonite care about that? Unless it's just a gimmick to sell more locks?

For a claim, you have to submit the broken lock. What if the thief takes the evidence with him?

I've heard that NYC messengers who ride expensive bikes buy two locks. They take one to a welder to cut/break. They register the keys (and buy protection) for that lock. They use the other other lock. If their bike is stolen, they submit the broken lock which they never used.

I can't blame them for doing that. Kryptonite sets the conditions that you almost have to do that if you want to protect a $1200 bike.

I would give the lock 5 stars. But, because of the fishy "protection offer," I only gave 4.

Will fit wide age range
I was worried that these pads might be too small for my seven year old, but they are very adjustable and look like they would fit kids much older and even smaller adults. The gel cushion seems like it will protect well.
Update: 6-15-08
These pads are great and durable...they have held up to many spills onto a gravel road and have protected my son very well. Good buy.

Works for my 2 and 3 1/2 year olds!
I was looking for pads that would work for my 2 year old son and my 3 1/2 year old daughter. I didn't want to buy the cheesy ones that they make for little kids, especially since I couldn't find any that didn't come prepackaged with helmets (they already have new helmets). I wanted pads because my 2 year old loves to ride his scooter and he's quite the daredevil! So, before he left most of his skin on the pavement, I wanted to try to prevent this.

I was worried that these pads would be too big. But there is a surprising amount of give with the straps. They fit both my kids (who are on the stockier sides for their ages, but not huge) with the knee pads over clothing and the elbow pads both over clothing and on their bare arms. The kids think they're fun. Both sets of pads stayed on pretty well and would protect their little joints in a fall.

Great Value, Great Protection
Bought these for my son to be safe on rollerblades, no complaints. The gel does great at shock absorbtion, the construction is sturdy especially considering the cheap price. This is a great deal if you want nice, basic, one size fits all protection for roller sports.

Super Sports Camera
I bought this HD camera to replace a VholdR Wearable Camcorder (Black) which didn't survive getting run over by my SUV. The Hero is a well constructed camera, very solid feeling with quality construction.

Pros: The camera has four modes - video (in several resolutions), still pictures, self-timer still pictures, and interval photos (pictures every few seconds). The lens gives a tremendously wide wild view which is nice for HD's 9:16. It will shoot 1080p, 960p 720p (at 30 and 60 frames per second), and 480 (at 60 frames per second) line resolutions. It uses standard SDHC memory cards and has an internal battery which recharges via a USB cable. The recorded audio is very good both inside and outside of the motor sports waterproof case that came with my kit. Video is relatively good, not as vivid as a dedicated camcorder but the resolution is good. My kit came with a variety of mounts and a suction cup mount for windows and car body use. The waterproof case comes with two backs, one that is watertight and one that is not for better audio when waterproof use isn't required. The kit comes with connectors for connecting the camera up to an HDTV monitor (component video) or a TV monitor (composite video). A neat feature in the menu is that you can flip both the video and still photos so you can shoot with the camera upside down without a problem.

Cons: The quick release mounts have a bit of wiggle to them. The back of the waterproof case can be difficult to lock closed. The menu system is a bit troublesome to use as there are only two buttons and three LCD characters to use. Once set you'll not have to go into the menu very often.

SHOULD BE the best sports camera BUT.....see UPDATES
I am extremely happy with this camera. I use it on my GSXR-1000 in the twisty roads for great action HD video as well as mount it to my radio controlled sailplane for great HD video of the flying area. The picture quality is astounding and shake free. The video is eye watering on a plasma TV or wide screen projector during playback.

The kit is very complete with a large assortment of mounts. I'm surprised that there are so many mounts and that they don't try to charge extra for them in an "additional" kit. Supposedly the camera is waterproof to 180 feet and comes in a waterproof primary case (that can be removed).

Overall, I don't know how they can deliver so much product for so little cost, I am completely happy....get your own :)

My dog loves these!

I purchased these handballs for my dog. He loves that they are a little squishy, but he never destroys them. These are much better than a tennis ball, as they can be easily washed. Overall, a good purchase for my cardigan welsh corgi!

Great quality balls - most common ones out there - but still cheeper at my club

These are great balls. They live a long time and last forever in the sealed package. My only gripe is with the price. My club sells this same can for six bucks.

Great quality

Great quality. I have purchased these many times over the years. Always pleased.

Good Bounce, Nice Felt and Decent Longevity
These Penn Championship Balls are very good for the typical recreational player. They hold a great bounce throughout 2 hour rally. The felt remains intact, but like any pressurized ball that has been in play it will lose its bounce after extended hits after the 2 hour of continuous pounding. For the recreational player, you probably will not notice a great diminish in bounce or play. The balls will be good to use for the next 3-4 days bouncing less and less progressively.

However, for the experienced player who plays regular competitive matches, you probably would like to change these balls out after every two sets due to the stronger force and spin place on it in that setting. You would probably be better of suited using the more expensive Wilson Titanium, Dunlop Championship, Wilson US Open, or Dunlop Gran Prix for a longer lasting ball that will retain a strong bounce.

Overall, depending on what type of player you are, you'll be perfectly fine using these balls for practice or recreational play. I would recommend these balls. You can find these cheaper per case at Costco at $30 per case.

WAY overpriced
Penn balls are just fine for the recreational player, but since you can buy these for $2 a can at any Wal-Mart anywhere in the U.S. there is absolutely NO reason to order these from Amazon (heck, even my local supermarket sells these cheaper).

Not only that, but I've bought these balls in bulk before (at CostCo) and you always run the risk of a can losing pressure (which you won't know until you actually test it by squeezing it). At least at your local Wally World you can test each can before you buy, and as long as you shop at a place that has a reasonable turnover you will be far better off. Stock up on 15 or 20 cans and even with gas you'll still be way ahead of ordering these here.

Exactly what you'd expect
Nothing complicated here, just plenty of cans of high quality balls at a very reasonable price. If you play a decent amount of tennis, you'll likely go though plenty of cans as they deflate after use. Why not buy a season's worth in one go? As far as I can tell (ranked 274,312 in the world) these are very good balls.

I can certainly understand being unhappy about not being shipped the advertised quantity. My order came exactly as promised, so maybe the other reviewer was just unlucky.

tennis coach
These balls are the best pressureless balls I've used. They rival pressured balls in almost every way- bounce, spin, feel, weight. I'm a pressureless ball fan because I hate dead balls, and use 2 baskets when coaching or practicing, and I've tried Tretorn (for years), Wilson and Unique pressureless balls. These are way better. I only wish they were made in the USA like other Penn balls.

Best Pressureless Balls
I have used Gamma, Tretorn and Penn pressureless balls and these are the best of the bunch - by a mile. Pressureless balls are firmer than regular balls on off-center and frame shots, but these are not at all objectionable to me and my kids. I have used Penn pressureless balls for instruction, ball machines, and in practice games, including at high altitude. They work great for all purposes. In fact, Penn has perfected pressureless balls to a level where they should price and market them as the primary ball for recreational (non-tournament) play. It pains me to see occassional players hit pressureized balls for an hour, putting very litte wear on the balls, playing them again in a deader form in the future, and ultimately discarding them when pressureless balls would still be perfectly playable. Such a waste of money, resources, and practice time.

Excellent option
These balls are very firm- but entirely playable. More to the point, they are playable day after day, week after week. Let them sit for a year and they're still good.

Are they too hard? I don't think so. My advice is to get a small can or borrow some. Play with them and only them. If you enjoy hitting yourself, by all means buy them. I absolutely love them.

Very good for practice sessions
We got this late In the 2009 season and only got to use them a few times. However, the balls have retained their bounce and feel very well. I plan to get a few more of these so I can fill the ball hopper I use during practice with my son. I would recommend them to anyone.
Remember these are practice balls and you will find issues if you expect to use them to play serious tennis between adults. They are perfect for tossing out to a kid to improve their game.

Terrible! The Unique pressureless tennis balls
Just want to try how performance of some pressureless tennis ball. Got a bag of 18 balls of Unique, along with a bag of Penns. The Penn pressureless ball may not be the best but it's really OK for ball machine practices. The 18 Unique balls were just absolutely useless. They didn't bounce at all, really deserve Zero star. I even want to question how Amazon could carry this kind of product. Is there any quality control?

Economy Bag of Practice Tennis Balls
My son plays tennis and we like to hit balls back and forth to each other. So I bought this bag of balls with the idea that we would both have plenty of balls with us at all times. It is frustrating to have just a few tennis balls and have to chase them down after each play, so this was well worth the rather inexpensive investment. Now we can practice for an hour or more and not waste time chasing down errant balls.

In terms of quality, these are not competition "game" balls. However, if your purpose is just to hit balls back and forth for practice, or to practice your serve over and over, these will certainly meet your need. We play complete games with them with no complaints from either of us, but then we are not "pros" nor are we power tennis players who need consistency in tennis balls. For the average Joe and son or daughter, these balls are perfect. The mesh bag provides a convenient carrying case to and from the court. Good price too.

Product Description
The Velocity Speed Gun is an easy point-and-shoot speed gun. It boasts +/- 1.0 MPH accuracy. The Velocity can track the speed of a ball from 100 feet. It's the ideal tool for tracking tennis serves from 6-110 MPH. Knowing how fast a player pitches or runs can instantly influence a coaching decision. Enter the Bushnell Velocity speed gun, which tells you the speed of an object within plus-or-minus 1 mile per hour. The Bushnell Velocity is outfitted with digital signal processing technology, which can measure the speed of a baseball from up to 90 feet, or a moving vehicle from as far as 1,500 feet.

As a result, it's a breeze to take a player's 40 time or measure the speed of a tennis serve. The Velocity is also a breeze to use, with a point-and-shoot pistol grip that displays the fastest speed timed once the trigger is released.

A changeup of perspective. Knowing how fast a player pitches or runs can instantly influence a coaching decision. And 15 over the limit doesn't seem so excessive when you find out what they're doing down on the track. The Bushnell Velocity will tell you to +/- 1.0 miles per hour using digital technology and DSP (digital signal processing). Measure the speed of a baseball from up to 90 feet, or a vehicle from as far as 1,300 feet.

Great Product For The Price!!!
I am 100% happy with my Bushnell radar gun. I mainly bought it for use in motor sports, four wheeler racing, motorcycles, and various activities involving speed. It uses K band so that is a big improvement from X band. The range on this thing is totally unreal, I can catch someones speed from over a 1/4 mile away, pretty amazing. Bottom line, for this price it is an unbeatable buy compared to the $900 stalker guns. I love this thing!!

Great battery life
Durable. Tracks mph and gives you a reading of top speed. Seems to be accurate. Reads the same mph as my zooka pitching machine. Takes 2 c batteries and they are still going strong after a month (probably over 500 readings).

Great for kids and adults. Reads speed of ball coming toward you or away from you so you can use this with 1 person or 2. Recently brought this to a pool party and the adults had more fun with it than the kids.

pretty good.
Yes, yes, I know I am not a kid. I'm a dad.
My son was having trouble with getting his velocity up in his pitching. He had fine movement and location on his pitches. The term "mph" is what he loves to know about. So I bought this as a motavation tool.
At first, he was throwing 52-56 mph, topping out at 58. After putting the gun on him, he didn't like the results. I said "OK, then, let's work to get it up to 63". He did, and beyond that. Soon 63-65. Then 67-70. Now he's throwing 70-73 at age 13. Also, he began working on a changeup a little while ago and he's got it down to a 10-12 mph difference according to this gun.

This is an affordable gun, while it seems a little slow about 2-3 mph(we went to a Giants game a few years ago and threw 68 on an expensive gun), it still works. Also, to all you who say that using a gun on a young player is bad, it is not if you stress strikes and mechanics and not overthrowing.
Hoever, I highly recomend this gun to LL coaches and pony League coaches.

The MOST comfortable shoe EVER!
I bought these shoes in the Spring and I have wore them almost every day since. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I don't normally like to wear running/tennis shoes for everyday wear, but I have bunions, a heel spur and falling arches. I needed to wear something good for my feet. I can't say enough about how comfortable they are. and they still look brand new! Thank you K-Swiss!

great shoes
I wear these shoes for 8 plus hours every day, walking and standing. I love them. My feet used be tired and achy after work. Now my feet feel just as good after work as they did when I first put them on. I have been wearing them for 4 months now and I am going to order another pair! I really love these shoes!!

Everything you could hope for in a shoe
After seeing this shoe in Shape magazine I had to try them...Bought them and I love them!!! Amazingly comfortable and light and didn't even have to break them in...great from the start...I would highly recommend this shoe.

Great court shoes
I started playing racquetball regularly against my much younger and stronger/faster brother in law. I was wearing some old tennis shoes to play and found that they didn't offer nearly enough support for sudden changes in motion or for the running I was doing. I decided to buy a pair of shoes meant for playing tennis/racquetball and bought this pair from Amazon due to good reviews. I've had them for about a month now and really feel they've helped me play better. I can stop/start/move laterally much more comfortably and better than my old pair of shoes. I never think much about my feet now as I've got no issues with them. They are comfortable and look snazzy. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Good shoe-just got GREAT
More comfortable than most tennis shoes. It is a tad more expensive than Wilson though. My foot width is 3E and it only comes in 4E so I have to clamp down on the laces quite a bit even with my ankle braces on. My only complaint with the shoe is, being a hard court grinder that I am, I get planar pain in my right foot. It could just be me, but I wanted to be honest here. Still, it is my shoe of preference over the Wilson 3E pro-staff which does not have enough cushioning for me (I weigh 195 lb!)

Great Shoe!
It's hard finding a good shoe in size 15US. I have a narrow foot, and my 6'4" 280lb frame makes it hard to be a shoe on the concrete courts. This shoe has padding and spring right where I want it and fits great. I rate it high as a shoe for tennis and high for just a normal shoe. I tried to buy another just to wear, but prices and deals change quickly.

Excellent tennis shoes
I just love Barricade tennis shoes. Since my first one, I never could stop buying the new ones. This tennis shoes is very beautiful and for tennis practice is almost perfect. At the beginning it's a little bit hard but on the third time I used it could see I made a very good choice again.

Great fit
The shoes at first, just like any pair of shoes, took some time to break in. After a few uses, I finally feel really comfortable using them and move around the court with a bit more speed because of these shoes. I hope they can keep up with the wear and tear I will be putting it through in the next two months +. Its expensive, but if you're a committed tennis player who plays at least twice a week, definitely invest in the gear that can keep up with your desire to improve.

Great tennis show
This show looks, and most importantly performs, great. It has a very solid feel. By that I mean when you are on your toes, it feels like it supports that position. Also, no matter how much lateral force I put on it, this show holds traction. Despite its airtight look, it actually seems to breath well as well.

Product Description
Get the most out of your workout in the Reebok® Zig Pulse women's training shoe. The ZigTech® outsole allows key muscles to do less work while conserving and returning energy for a soft and springy ride. DMX Shear cushioning minimizes shock on impact, and the PU sockliner adds a soft touch.

Reebok was founded for one of the best reasons possible: athletes wanted to run faster. So in the 1890s, Joseph William Foster made some of the first known running shoes with spikes in them. By 1895, he was in business making shoes by hand for top runners; and before long his fledgling company, J.W. Foster and Sons, developed an international clientele of distinguished athletes.

Customer Reviews
good shoe, nice cushioning
I've worn a variety of shoes and this is probably one of the best shoes out there that I've worn in the past 2-3 years. I don't have a particular loyalty to a brand, and when I saw these on sale, I decided to give them a shot. They are great - I do a lot of running on concrete and as a result, I have a lot of knee and hip pain from pounding the pavement in the past 10 years. These provide some great cushioning and helps my legs stay fresh on the run. I also have a tendency to roll my ankles quite a bit and the wider sole helps to prevent that as I run on the pavement and on the treadmill. The sizing does run small though, regular shoes I wear a 7 1/2 and needed to go up to a size 8.

AWESOME
I am a NIKE girl. But, I had to try the new Reezigs. I ordered the Pulse II. These shoes are definitely in my top 3 favorite shoes ever!! I went for my usual 7 mile run the first day. the second day I kicked it up to 11 miles. My feet felt wonderful. I run 7-10 miles 6 days per week so I need a good, cushioned shoe, since my feet tend to underpronate. I can totally feel the energy that flows from heel to forefoot. Totally amazing. I recommend this shoe for runners of any distance who have neutral to high arches. I will buy again.

Great comfort, runs small
I read about these shoes in a couple of fitness magazines and had to give them a try. Great cushion and comfort, but they run small. I wear a 9-9.5 and had to get a 10.5.

Product Description
The Titleist Pro V1 represents the coalescence of three of Titleist's industry leading technologies: large solid core, multi-component construction, and high performance Urethane Elastomer cover technology. Fast initial velocity, lower spin and high launch combine to produce a flatter, less arcing ascent and straight ball flight for exceptional driver and long iron distance. The trajectory profile of the New Titleist Pro V1 generates a steep angle of descent into the green and provides Drop-and-Stop performance on approach shots.

The Titleist Pro V1x delivers very low driver and iron spin combined with very high speed. The result is exceptionally long distance and a straight flight, particularly for the game's hardest hitters.

Customer Reviews
Best golf ball on the market today, period
Don't let anyone tell you that playing with the right equipment doesn't make a difference in your game, because it does. Getting a set of affordable custom-fit clubs was the key for me in finally getting my index down into single digits ... along with a few lessons and some serious work, of course.

Similarly, the difference between playing a professional ball like the Titleist ProV1 and a low-cost, low-quality alternative adds up to anywhere from 1-2 strokes per round, if not more.

If playing your absolute best and posting the scores to show for it isn't worth paying a few extra dollars to you, then fine. But it is to me, even if these days I'm lucky to play once every couple weeks or so.

Hands Down - The Best Ball Out There
I received a dozen Titleist Pro V1 balls 6 years ago when I won a long drive contest at a driving range in Connecticut....I tried them out and I've been with the Pro V1 ever since. The ball has obviously evolved a little bit in the last 6 years, but it keeps getting better and better each time.

The Pro V1 is long off the tee, but the real feature is the incredibly soft feel and its ability to really bite on the green. Your basic Top Flite or Pinnacle golf ball is built to go straight and far. With that combination, you lose the ability to control the ball on your approach and around the green as balls will often roll off the back - not the case with the Pro V1. It gives you unrivaled control around the greens and the feel is indescribable. This is a great ball for anyone who can put together a solid round!

The only downside to the Pro V1 is the pricetag - but the it's worth it to me. If you are the type that puts a lot of balls in the woods or in the water, it might not be the best ball for you. A cheaper Titleist ball that performs well is the Titleist NXT. I also received a sleeve of Callaway Big Bertha balls in the mail as part of a promotional deal...I tried them out and liked them as well. I hope this helps. Please comment if you have any questions.

The best ball I've hit
I'm not exactly a scratch golfer, but my equipment is more geared toward a scratch rather than a golfer of the handicap I actually am. That's because I'm seeking to become scratch, and don't want to be dependent upon any what I call "crutch" equipment, but want my improvement to be skill based.

I've found the ball, at least for me, is the golfer's most important piece of equipment. I also chuckle at guys that will drop $400 on a driver, a club they probably can't hit very well, but will nickle and dime for whatever balls they can get away with buying. Yes, I realize balls have to be replaced much more often than clubs, but saving a few dollars isn't worth the trouble. And you can buy x-outs and practice Pro-V1 balls that are exactly the same as in the new box, except for cosmetic stuff.

I started out playing with Top Flight, as those were about the cheapest. They might as well be rocks. I then started experimenting with premium balls in the logo overrun bins. There I found Maxfli Revolution, which are (or were) really good balls. After reading other reviews, I started using Precept Lady (yes, guy's, that's right -- its a good ball for you), and liked those balls as they were compared to Pro V1. Finally, I tried the Titleist and have no plans on changing until they stop making them. Unless I hit something that I like better.

The Maxflis had much better spin than the ladys. Now the Titleist balls have better spin and better distance than the lady ball. Not as much spin as the Maxflis, which is helpful around the green, but better for me off the tee and in the fairway.
