    Since I suffer from tendinitous in elbow that affects my bicep,I went and bought the sleeve. I just got it and will use it monday and see if it helps! I did try it on and had this warming sensation in my bicep,so hopefully it will help.

    ik what you mean by it getting hot but i have never been in that hot of weather last summer it got so hot out here in ontario to a record high that i could barly go out side i could not breathe and when i went bowling i was wearing shorts and a light t-shirt and still sweating but also cloverleaf AC dose not work at all so one day i brought in a few fans for everyone in the league 1 for every pair of lanes and the owner came in and smashed 3 of them i told him he better replace my fans and he said i should not have then here, the i said how about you stop being a cheap Blank and fix the AC.

    but the sleeve also do look cool but think your hole body sweats but this stops from sweat getting on your hand when you are say in the middle of a backswing or release so it wont mess you up and make you stop a good streak of strikes.

    Go ahead and try it. It's not that expensive that'll break the bank and besides many people here on the boards would likey get additional info on something that "could" help them. I'm curious but I don't think I need one.

    Montel Williams is marketing a model with Gold in the elastic. It's supposed to have theraputic value. It think his sells for about the same as these without gold. You know the price of gold only goes up, so get them while the price is right.

    Gold.....Really? Maybe I should come up with one with copper. That's supposed to ease arthritis also. These are gimmicks for the most part as I see it, but I did notice Chris Barnes wearing one yesterday in the team challenge. Nothing speaks louder than having a pro wear one on TV. Wonder how much he got paid for wearing it ? LOL

    You have got to be kidding me!!!!!

    After all, I read about it on the internet. If it's on the internet, it has to be true. (No I did not get that from the internet. I got it from Al Gore, himself)

    I use one. Not this brand in particular but I find that it keeps my tendons in place and that my elbow pain is gone since I started using it. I have pretty severe tendonitis and the sleeve definitely helps. I doubt it will benefit people with out tendon or elbow problems.

    I don't see any benefit to them unless you are struggling with tendonitis or similar issues that slight compression is proven to help with. It looks like another one of those Power-Balance type products where you're paying $25 for a placebo effect, which might be worth it for some people if they can't figure out why their arm/elbow is bugging them.

    I used my new power sleeve tonight and it kept my bicep nice and warm. It generated a fair amount of heat,but,if you blow on it or put it in front of a fan,you get a cooling effect. I had 0 pain in elbow and bicep after 4 games. I would recommend it!

    PS-You can customize the sleeve which is nice!
