    Tennis balls, soft balls all do the trick on the cheap too.

    I've got a Sprinter stick, its really good. I use it on my calfs, quads and hams.

    I've also got a foam roller which is better for ITB and glutes. I wouldn't be without either.

    Yeah, I've heard that they both serve different purposes, I've got the roller but will soon be getting the stick as well.

    I also use a lacrosse ball on my hip flexors and bottoms of my feet.

    I have a ball that I use for my feet (from when I was in dance) but what is the stick and foam roller? Where do I get them and about how much do they cost?

    Get both!!!

    I have a high-density roller which I use regularly as my calves especially can get tight rather quickly - plus I foudn it helped with my flexibility training.

    My PT used The Stick on my quad once when I was being treated for various knee injuries but I much prefer my Tiger Tail which I will bring along in my gym bag or even my backpack if I have a busy/highly active day and know that I'll be paying for it sometime soon...Tiger tail has 2 versions. the regular size fits well in my bag but they also have a travel size
