A Comparison: Vyper vs Wave Roller

[@Boldnbeautiful86]

I found that the wave roller was too soft. The hyperice is way more dense and gets deeper into the tissue. The hyperice also has a stronger vibration IMO.

[@alejandrocotilla2899]

The wave roller is also super "slippery", what about the hyperice?

[@Boldnbeautiful86]

@@alejandrocotilla2899 yes, I had that same issue. The new viper 3 is not slippery, the old one in the video was slippery. They added some rubber on the sides to keep if from slipping. It’s much stronger and firmer than the wave roller. I was super disappointed with the wave roller.

[@jacobgawne2717]

Was there a difference in how the wave roller feels at its different levels vs the hyperice vyper 2.0? Is one noticeably stronger than the other or provides a different sensation?

[@BestMassageTech]

The feeling is slightly different, primarily based on the surfaces with the vyper being firmer. I definitely felt the vibrations more with the wave roller. The vibrations on the wave roller feel “bigger” I guess is the easiest way I can put it.

[@BestMassageTech]

Larry Cornelio the wave roller feels stronger to me. They are certainly both effective but if I was choosing one I’d pick the wave roller.

[@Sevi-The-Heavy]

I use a pvc pipe wrapped in texture tape and a hard foam roller with aggressive knobs/spikes. I have used the theragun roller it is too soft for me. For this reason I've been considering the Viper. Any suggestions for any off brand vibrating rollers? The more power and the more stiffer, the better for me. Thanks guys!

[@BestMassageTech]

I’ve only tried the Proper Roller. The Vyper is firm and would likely meet your needs. It’s much firmer than the wave roller.

[@Sevi-The-Heavy]

@@BestMassageTech Okay cool! Thanks for the reply

[@fitterniti]

If decathlon is in your part of the world, give their Aptonia Vibrating foam roller. It's the standard hard roller with soft bumps that gives the same experience of a standard tough roller, with the added vibrations 👍🏻

[@jsusu15]

That was so fast on the comparison! thank you!

[@johnboy0008]

I enjoyed your comparison. Nice and thorough. But I like the Vyper and think it’s because of the firmness and seems to vibrate stronger from my experience. Wish the price was same though, Wave roller has it beat there for sure, 50 dollars is alot…….

[@scdstrout]

I am looking to get the Wave Roller since it's on sale for Black Friday, but my main concern was how it seemed like it was softer than the Vyper. What are your thoughts on this? I do prefer a slightly firmer foam roller but don't NEED the firmest roller out there.

[@BestMassageTech]

Vyper is firmer for sure. Wave roller vibrates harder.

[@scdstrout]

@@BestMassageTech Which one do you prefer for your own use?

[@BestMassageTech]

@@scdstrout I prefer the wave roller.

[@josholsen1642]

I can get the Vyper for $150 on sale. would you still recommend the Wave Roller at the same price?

[@lawrencepaulauskas2081]

I suggest if you are a beginner to definitely get the Wave Roller; I find the Vyper better for more advanced workouts.

[@PeteRock1]

Which one is the strongest and deepest when comparing the vibration? I

[@Wemmajimmah]

Is there a weight capacity for each roller? I weigh 270 lbs and I’m 6 foot 3. I’d rather avoid breaking one or the other is possible

[@BestMassageTech]

Hey Jon, unfortunately I can’t find a weight limit for either of them. I’d say one thing to consider is that unless you plan to stand on it, there will never be your full body weight on it. One person on the Amazon reviews of the Vyper says he was 275lbs and used it at his physical therapists office. Sorry, wish I had more info but they don’t have much published.

[@Wemmajimmah]

@@BestMassageTech ya I couldn’t find anything either. The most id do is put a lot of my weight on it with my glutes. I appreciate your response and I went with the hyperice cause it’s way more stiff and bigger. Thank you sir!

[@rebeccabaker9980]

Would be nice to run them both so we can see and hear

[@BestMassageTech]

Rebecca Baker great point. It was really loud in my footage because my camera was on the ground so I was trying to save people’s ears.

[@PaulHo]

I haven't worked out in 8 years and am currently in crutches. I don't even know why I bought the Wave Roller, haven't even opened it yet.

[@Sun.n.Flowers]

Do you like it? Are you using it? I'm thinking of getting one.

[@PaulHo]

@@Sun.n.Flowers Still haven't opened it, physical therapy is a nightmare so haven't used it yet. I have the Theragun Prime and Mini too though and those help with some of the tightness.

[@Sun.n.Flowers]

@@PaulHo Oh wow, are you interested in giving it away or? I would love it. I'm working out 2x a week and foam roll with one at the gym and notice that if I dont I get super sore for 3 days . Day 1 is light soreness and day 2-3 are the worst!

[@PaulHo]

@@Sun.n.Flowers Not looking to offload yet, just haven't been able to function and be mobile.

[@Sun.n.Flowers]

@@PaulHo Well I hope you get better soon. If you're looking to get rid or sell, let me know .

[@DNV75]

Is this good for sciatica? Just purchased the wave roller. I have a theragun prime and love it. Hoping to get the same satisfaction out of the roller. P.S. I got my roller for $99.00 due to black Friday sale.

[@BestMassageTech]

As I don’t have sciatica it’s hard for me to say. You got it for a great price!

[@andynguyen123]

my vyper 2.0 raddles as well

[@BestMassageTech]

asianswagstorm oh that’s not good to hear. Maybe it’s more common than I thought. Anyone else experience this?

[@BestMassageTech]

asianswagstorm I will say it was an easy fix. Only took me a couple minutes with a screwdriver to open it and find some plastic pieces but not something you should be needing to worry about when spending the money on this.

[@Boyley]

Have you done a video comparing the vyper 2 with the wave?

[@BestMassageTech]

Yes, this video is the Vyper 2.0

[@Boyley]

@@BestMassageTech Great went ahead and ordered the wave thanks!

[@kenta3148]

Buyer beware, Hyperice doesn't support a 4.5 year old Vyper. Need a battery or info...nope, won't help you. Premium price product but no support or spare parts after a few years.

[@Krissie833]

Same issue. I love my Vyper but it doesn’t hold a charge anymore :-(

[@Xelphor1]

Same. I just need a new battery, I bought one elsewhere because they just want to sell more disposable tech and won't just sell the battery. However the battery I purchased is actually wrong voltage wiring. Also bought another charger. Frustrating. @hyperice

[@asianrice02]

my mini hypersphere micro usb broke and looking to replace it too

[@Kylbigel]

Dude I love this channel! try to buy a better mic or get some bubos acoustic panels off of Amazon because on my iPhone pro 11 max at 90% volume there is significant distortion with your voice.
