Amazon.com Product Description
The Gripmaster Pro isolates and strengthens each finger individually, helping you improve your overall strength, endurance, and dexterity. A few daily workouts with the Gripmaster Pro and you'll enjoy better control of a baseball/softball bat, tennis racquet, or golf club, with each finger working in seamless unity with the others. You'll also find a ton of other uses for the Gripmaster Pro, including playing guitar or violin, rock climbing, bowling, target shooting, martial arts, yoga, or even relieving stress while clicking a mouse or gaming for hours on end. To keep things interesting and to accommodate certain uses, the company recommends several different exercises, including the "fingertip pinch," "flatfist," "powergrip," "wristflex," and "thumbpinch," most of which are explained on the Gripmaster website. Best of all, you can work out anytime and anywhere with the Gripmaster Pro, which fits neatly in your pocket when not in use. This particular version of the Gripmaster Pro offers a medium tension of 7 pounds per finger--a recommended tension for average strength hands.

 Selecting the right tension December 25, 2009
Arthur Bradley (Eastern USA)

From all the previous reviews, I knew these hand exercisers would be good solid devices - and they are. My only concern was what tension level to pick. Just as a data point for others, I'm a 71 inches tall, 180 pounds, fit male. I lift weights regularly, but am by no means a bodybuilder or powerlifter. I purchased the medium strength units, wondering if 7 lbs per finger was too much or too little. I've found that if I power grip them (basically just grab them like a barbell, squeeze and release), I can easily do 100 or more repetitions. This leads me to think that the Mediums are too light if I only want to power grip. Same is probably true for many of you.
However, two things changed my mind about this. First I went to the Prohands website and found that several of the exercises they demonstrate (e.g. fingertipping) are much harder than the simple power grip. Also, by holding the grip for 3-5 seconds as recommended, even the power grip becomes more challenging. In the end, I've decided that the 7 lb units give me a very good workout.
My suggestion is if you only want to power grip, then you may want something heavier - obviously dependent on your hand strength. But if you value doing exercises that fully articulate your fingers in various ways, then you might want to try the Mediums.
Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

I have been climbing walls indoor and outdoor for over 5 years now and this gripmaster pro is really impressive. It is build extremely sturdy and fits my hand much better than the regular gripmaster (which I would also rate 5 stars!). I purchased the 7 pounds and the 11 pounds pro version. I use them for hours everyday, whenever I have a free hand I grab one and it definitely increased my strength endurance. Now when I am struggling to finish a climb this little device gives me the extra strength that I need.
Great item! June 10, 2009

I'm learing how to play the acoustic guitar and I bought the gripmaster as a way to help strengthen my hands and fingers. I found it useful for developing strength to be able to play barre chords. The medium tension is a bit too much for working the pinky finger so I also bought a lighter tension for that. I highly recommend this product for a begginer guitar player.
If your new to bass guitar playing, you need it! January 20, 2009

Well, I'm new to bass guitar, have been playing it for a few months, and using this thing for two days have already made a lot of difference on my 3rd and 4th fingers' dexterity.
I'm a man, aged 28, and started with the medium tension. It feels to me like it has a very light tension over the first two fingers, but it puts a lot of duty over the 3rd and the 4th (of course the difference is on me, it puts the same tension over each finger).
The thing is, you should find the correct tension for your weakest fingers, exercise them to make them reach the strongest ones, and then it is time to upgrade for a heavier tension.
It would really improve the dexterity for the bassist, at least for the beginer.
I only can tell about the prohands exerciser, don't know the difference between this and the gripmaster or the VIA.
going from starter to heavy pro May 31, 2009

This works as a link from the easy start gripmaster to the pro for slightly longer grip range.
