Product Description
The Original Dyna-Flex Pro is entry level gyro that everyone is talking about. The rotor, which can reach speeds of up to 9,000, rpm and puts out 35lbs. of torque, features a new "thermo band", which aids the user in controlling this powerhouse. The Dyna-Flex Pro a newly designed fun and almost addicting new product that is not only can be used as an executive relaxer, a carpal-tunnel/arthritis reliever, or a strength and coordination builder, but will knock your socks off! Wherever tasks necessitate repetitive wrist motions that includes flexion, extension and rotation or if you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive motion trauma then, the Dyna-Flex is a product that you should be using or at least trying out once. We challenge you to take hold of the Dynaflex Pro when it's moving at 9,000 rpm's.

 Great arm and hand exerciser! December 6, 2006

It took me a long time to figure out how to start this with the advance starting techniques. But it was well worth it. I do not need to carry around the starter string. I have tennis elbow. After a few days of using Dynaflex Pro Plus Gyro Exerciser, I can now extend my arm with almost no pain. This is a great product. It is worth the cost. I also purchased the optional digital speed meter that I rarely use. I use the exerciser to strengthen my arm, hand and wrist. I really do not need to know how fast I had the gyro is spinning. Besides it is very difficult to read the meter while operating the exerciser.
Awesome Exercise Device July 29, 2007

I first encountered one of these devices back in college, twenty years ago. One of the tennis players had one. He showed me how the device worked. I remembered being amazed by it back then. Eighteen years later, I ended up working in a job that required a lot of hand strength. I remembered the gyro and searched for it on the internet. I found it here, and ordered one.
I've had this one for over a year now. I do not use it regularly, because it does take up a lot of time, and it is a challenge to get the rotor started. It did improve the strength of my hands, wrist, and forearms. Especially my fingers. It's definitely effective. However, it will not completely replace those grip exercisers such as the ones by Valeo. The Dynaflex is best used as a supplement to traditional free weights and to the regular grip exercisers. The Dynaflex will reach and stimulate those smaller, specialized muscles that the core exercises fail to reach.
You can probably incorporate the Dynaflex into your routine workout. However, the Dynaflex will not help you build the muscle mass in your forearms. The Dynaflex will benefit your power and coordination. As such, you will receive most of the benefits even if you only use it once a week.
This is not the tool for adding muscle mass. But it is effective at getting to those muscles that core exercises miss. That might be the reason why these are so popular with tennis players. I suppose the Dynaflex works by requiring you hold your arms steady as the forces generated by the gyro increasingly makes it more difficult to do so. Having played a little bit of tennis, I can see how this can help you in keeping your forearm steady.
The main challenge here is getting the device to start. But once you get it started, it is relatively simple to keep it going. You might also consider the latest version. It comes with the battery-operated Power Dock. The Power Dock will start the rotor for you.

This is a really cool device once you get it started. Actually getting it started is the hard part, it took me over a day to figure out. The instructional video is not helpful at all, because it is misleading. Some of my friends and I spent forever trying to get it to start and no one could make it work.
I finally figured out how to get it to work. The trick is you have to get a really good starting spin to begin with, it's very difficult to do without using the starting string they provide. That was my main problem, I kept trying to start it with the "advanced" methods such as flicking it with my thumb or "karate chop". When I used the string again, and made sure to pull as fast as I possibly could, then I was able to get it going.
Then you can just hold your forearm straight and rotate your hand in a circle, you will feel it speeding up. Then you just have to rotate faster to speed it up more, which takes practce and forearm strength to be able to rotate faster.

Incredible forearm and wrist exercise for virtually any level. It may take a little practice to get is started, but don't quit and write a bad review. Once you've got it, you'll have a hard time hanging on to it and an even harder time putting it down. (I don't recommend this item to individuals lacking the basic coordination required to tie your shoes, however. You may get frustrated and pout about "wasting" your money)
