This Reverse Grip Trainer is like doing yoga for your hands, helping reverse the inevitable wear and tear due to the repetitive motions of playing guitar. Squeezing exercises shorten the muscles in the palms, limiting your reach which is the last thing a guitar or keyboard player needs to do.

The reverse grip trainer exercises the muscles that open your hands while helping your palms and fingers be able to reach further. It also improving grip strength and endurance. The effects of reverse grip training are felt immediately, helping you improve the speed strength and flexibility in your fingers, improving your playing endurance and performance.

Guitar Players Friend!

Product arrived in good time, and was everything as adviertised. Well made and set-up. I purchased this because of a stroke that has effected my fine motor skills. It has effected my ability to make chords on my guitar. I was using some rubber balls to exercise but I found out that they effected the muscles in the opposite way that I needed. The round balls tend to shorten the muscles in the palm of the hand and I needed to lengthen these muscles instead. I am very well pleased with this product.

Garbage

I could not return this for a refund fast enough. Within 30 seconds of trying it for the first time, one of the stretch bands broke. The device only comes with one replacement band, which I used to replace the broken one. Then again, within 30 seconds of use, another band broke, leaving me with no more replacement bands. I contacted the manufacturer using their customer service form online and never received a reply. Browsing their site, I noticed that they sell replacement bands for over $10, which leads me to believe the device was designed to break to encourage additional sales. They also sold an "upgrade kit" that included "new generation finger bands", but I won't be fooled. If you have better finger bands, don't sell the ones that break after less than half a minute's use. I found other exercises that I can do on the guitar to improve hand opening muscle strength, and you can too. Some simple legato across frets 10, 12 & 15 had those muscles burning very quickly for me, and after doing them for a couple of weeks, I do notice improved reach. Try it out, if you have a guitar, it will save you $30 plus a trip back to return this item.

    I've only had this a few weeks. I've been doing the exercises in the video every other day as instructed. I'm not sure yet, but I believe I see a slight improvement in my left-hand weakness. I can give a better evaluation after I've used it a few months.

  • Nice!

    This product is designed to allow the user to stretch their hands out. It is early but it seems to be working just fine. It can be used for either hand. I have used it for a little over a week and it has helped me stretch out the pinky on the fretboard.

    It's helping me to get my fretting hand back into shape after I hurt it while stretching. Pretty worthwhile tool. They could stand to make it a little more sturdy, but I'm satisfied with it.

  • Okay

    Product falls way short in working out your fingers. There are numerous exercises on the Internet that's designed to improve your finger strength and flexibility. Product is limited in getting a full range of motion for your fingers. The rubber bands keep coming off and always need to be adjusted. Another viable option is to purchase hand putty and get a real finger workout. My advice is stay away from this product and keep your money.
