I am a newbie and thinking of the Green Roller. Is the Green Roller less firm than the Black?

The black is denser than the blue (it's blue, not green). The blue is quite dense and works very well. My trainer recommended the blue over the black. At least for me, the black is too hard.

As a newbie myself, I wondered which one to get, for quite a while, until my husband send: "Just get this one." He was referring to the J/fit HD EVA roller, which I consider blue. He gave me the right advice. This is basically firm, with the slightest give when you put a lot of weight on it, so that it is not as uncomfortable as the black might be. It's just a roller; try this one.

This is not the most firm roller I've used. I think it will be fine. You can try beginning on carpet, then work up to a hard surface (wood/tile). It's not supposed to be fun. :)

I've found it to be much firmer than the standard rollers... nothing else really holds a candle anymore. It's not hard like the grid rollers (it does have a bit of give) but I would say this is as firm as you would want it to be, anything more would probably injure a person. Much more effective than the grid roller in my opinion. The only other thing I use besides this is a set of Trigger Point Therapy rollers for my calves.

I haven't had that problem with mine. Make sure the green slider button above the roller is fully to the left.

after reading these comments, I just realized that my blade has lasted much longer since I was at class one day and forgot my olfa mat so I bought a clover mat and it is softer and that must be the reason my blade has lasted so long. I thought it was the sharpner.lol, as the blade was sharpened quite good. Funny, I learn something new every day. Will stick with the Clover mat since it is softer. Doesn't seem to let the fabric slide as much either.

I agree with other response. The rollers make it easier to push onto the arms, but it doesn't roll freely.

This is the only rumble roller that I have owned. I can't compare the firmness of any other rumble roller. If your back is tender you may want to consider purchasing a regular foam roller. When I first purchased foam rollers, they were sold by colors to indicate the firmness of the roller. The white was the softest, green was a medium and the black was the firmest. I alternate between my regular black foam roller and the rumble roller, depending on how intense of a massage I need. I find the rumble roller is good for people that have "graduated" from the regular foam rollers. The bumps on the rumble roller can be very intense if you are not use to it. I hope this answers your question. Good luck! This is the only rumble roller that I have owned. I can't compare the firmness of any other rumble roller.

Hard for me to say. I am 5" and 115lbs. I get a lot of back pain from working out and I recently had a baby. I bought the full sized roller because I wanted to evenly target my entire back without having to move the roller around. I would assume that the small one is just as good but it depends on how you want to use it. I can lay my entire upper back and roll on it without missing anything. I guess it's just preference. It is VERY firm and at first may hurt but it's worth it.

Just 1. You pick which you want. I went with green and it's fairly firm. If you're looking for something squishy I'd say go with yellow- if you're looking for something with some resistance go with green. I imagine the black one is fairly solid with little give to it.

It's fantastic...use mine almost daily...I also have a firmer roller...no comparison...this softer roller is luxury. I use it to do the MELT Method.

I'm not sure if there is a difference. I own 2 pink rollers, they work great for both of us.

Yeah, it is softer. It isn't as soft as I was hoping, but it is distinctively different. Most importantly, my old hard plastic rollers were slowly shredding the softwood floors in my study, and these aren't. And they make less noise while rolling, so they're soft enough for my purposes, at least.

I have it now and I wish I bought a different one I only bought it because it was cheaper then others but I recommend to buy a good one if it cost more it's probably well worth it . Not firm or as thick as it first was.

I have not used the stick. Only this one and a larger foam roller. This one applies firm pressure and has textured rolling units for stimulation. I hope this helps.

I use both. I find this very useful for small muscle groups while I usually use the roller for larger areas.

Think you will need the slightly smaller one - it gives the same effect of rollers without having to wear them! And a little less rigid.

Hi Vinny R,The head is semi soft alittle more firm. Buy just one if you can get it, just to try it out. The dual head brushes up & down & in between your teeth. I hope this helps. Have a great evening. V'Netta.
