So how exactly do you posts embedded links here? I'm soo ashamed ::sobbing uncontrollably, which the Link tends to do often because he's very emotional, fragile, and yes, perhaps in some strange way, vulnerable::.
Enough of you naysayers. The opinions I'm looking for are from people who have actually tried it out. Not that I don't treasure the opinions of the rest of you.

I don't think it's either. The reason I asked was that after my hammerfest yesterday I was whining about how I thought I was developing the IleoTibial Syndrome on the right. I've had it on my left from running and am not anxious to get it again. Anyway, a hammerhead told me he swore by it, but no one else gave an opinion one way or the other. I thought it was just an overpriced broomstick but apparently their construction is a bit more sophisticated.
Just hoping someone had an informed opinion about it. Maybe I'll check with the Turks.

People have posted in this forum about "The Stick" before. And not that long ago. I remember there were several positive comments.

Here is the previous thread, which which is kinda in keeping with the current one: folks who never tried it running it down, and folks who have tried it liking it: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ight=the+stick
It's cool with me. Just sayin'.

I haven't tried The Stick, but I have a ball with knobs sticking out of it for massaging my feet. If The Stick works as well as this ball, then it's worth the money.

Okay, if you insist on "space age plastic", go to Home Depot and buy a piece of 1" PVC pipe and a 1/2" dowel that is about 6' longer. Stick the dowel in the pipe and presto, Le Stick for $5. You could cut the pipe into smaller pieces so you can have spindles like The Stick.

Did you catch that they now have 12 different Stick products!?
Must be a goldmine.
I think TWL needs the "Stiff Stick." 24" long, $45.
