Fascia gun has been very popular in the past two years, in addition to sports and fitness friends, many office workers and student parties also use it as a necessary product for daily massage relaxation and fatigue relief. However, although there are many brands of fascia guns on the market, there are few high-quality and easy-to-use fascia guns, especially the well-known Internet celebrity brands, which often have problems such as uneven hitting strength and trajectory deviation, which not only have a poor massage experience, but also easily lead to problems such as bruising and muscle soreness, and it is often difficult for consumers to choose a high-quality fascia gun.
In order to help you buy a high-quality fascia gun that suits you, this time, as a sports and fitness blogger, I spent a lot of money to buy five high-sales word-of-mouth fascia guns, and carefully prepared a one-month evaluation.
First, fascia guns often have negative complaints
In fact, most of the muscle damage problems are caused by improper product selection (that is, the use of unprofessional fascia guns), in response to this situation, I have summarized the five common negative complaints of garment steamers, which will help you to step on some thunder less when buying fascia guns.
Spit 1: Weak power
Weak power is a lot of fascia gun users complain, there are three main negative evaluations of weak power of fascia guns, the first is that the quality of the fascia gun is poor, the quality of the motor is poor, and it cannot produce strong enough power. The second is that the power attenuation degree is relatively high, the power is not bad at the beginning, but it does not take long for the power of the product to gradually decay. The third is that the product matching is not enough, many male users and sports and fitness people use the mini fascia gun, but they generally complain that the power is weak, which is a normal situation, because the power of the mini gun is average, and the amplitude and frequency are small, which is difficult to meet everyone's requirements for the impact strength of the fascia gun!
Spit 2: Damage to muscles
Muscle damage is also a problem for many fascia guns, some businesses will put the responsibility on the user's own operation problems, but in fact, most of them are because the fascia gun is not professional enough, especially low-cost and inferior products, the vibration frequency reasoning is uneven, the gun head is also easy to offset, and the hitting is too violent, the compatibility with the muscle characteristics of the Chinese people is very poor, and it is very easy to cause muscle damage.
Tucao 3: Battery life shrinks
The key to many people's complaints is that the battery life has shrunk seriously, and it has not been as long as advertised, and there are also 2 situations here, one is that the battery is of inferior quality and poor quality, and after not using it a few times, the battery life will be greatly reduced. There is also a kind of business in the promotion of the side ball, telling you that the battery life of 90 days, in fact, there is its own way of calculation, such as three minutes a day, but in fact, who will only use a few minutes a day!
Complaint 4: The working noise of the fascia gun is loud
The complaints about the noise of the fascia gun are mainly focused on the large fascia gun, and some small fascia guns will also have this problem because of poor workmanship and poor motor. The noise of the fascia gun is generally maintained at about 50-70 decibels, if the noise of the large fascia gun is below 50 decibels, it is either false propaganda or the performance of the fascia gun is too poor!
Tucao 5: The workmanship is rough and smelly
Many low-cost fascia guns, especially products below 300 yuan, are generally processed by factory OEM, many brands have no technical strength, and try their best to fight a price war, so they will cut corners in quality, workmanship, packaging, and even use second-hand materials to produce, so it is inevitable to produce various quality complaints and negative evaluations!
2. What are the parts that the fascia gun is not suitable for massage?
The fascia gun is generally only suitable for relaxing muscle and soft tissues such as thigh muscles, gluteal muscles, upper arm muscles, etc., if the use position is improper, it is easy to bring harm to the body, so where can the fascia gun not be played?
1. Head: The musculature of the head is only a thin layer, but there are many acupuncture points, if you use a fascia gun to hit the head, there is a risk of concussion.
2. Neck: The neck is distributed with dense cervical nerves and blood vessels, and the muscle tissue is very thin, very sensitive and fragile, and it is easy to suffer nerve damage after being hit by a fascia gun at high frequency.
3. Armpit: There are dense lymphatic tissues and nerves in the armpit, and the fascia gun is likely to cause lymphatic injury, inflammation or nerve damage when hitting the armpit.
4. Chest and abdomen: The chest and abdomen are the parts of the heart, lungs, stomach and other important organs of the human body.
5. Joints: Everyone uses a fascia gun to hit the joints as if they were hitting the wall with the joints, which is likely to cause joint damage.
6. Arteries: Large blood vessels such as femoral artery and carotid artery may form thrombosis if they are hit by a fascia gun.
3. Summary of fascia gun evaluation results!
After talking about the knowledge of fascia guns, let's get to the point, and bring you the five major fascia guns in-depth evaluation and sharing, there are too many parameters to evaluate a fascia gun, and you can't see its quality by relying on a single dimension. Therefore, I will give objective and true evaluation data from multiple dimensions, and you can intuitively see the advantages and disadvantages of each fascia gun.
Recommended model 1 of fascia gun: AGVIEE PRO
Fascia Gun Recommended Reasons:
As an extreme sports and health care brand, AGVIEE Weiye has an "unconventional" R&D concept, and has obtained EU certification! The core dimensions such as hitting stability and power attenuation are the best among the 2,000 yuan level models, and Weiye rarely advertises, and it can also be recommended by the majority of professional enthusiasts and out of the circle, and the mid-to-high-end word-of-mouth dominates the list!
The Mino fascia gun has a fever performance of 13mm amplitude and 20kg thrust, and also creates eight high-performance and non-muscle black technology, achieving hitting stability and accuracy up to 1,000 yuan product level, which can reduce the muscle damage rate by 93.8% while hitting at high frequency, and has more than six years of anti-attenuation certification, achieving six years of comprehensive performance, durability, and muscle damage rate certification!
Focusing on one model for several years, we have continuously optimized and improved the frequency range of the product, so that the force span has reached the full scene range, and the compatibility is very powerful! There are 8 gears and 6 massage heads to choose from, and people with different muscle characteristics can choose the appropriate massage mode.
Fascia Gun Evaluation Results:
1. Evaluation of product hitting strength
After evaluation, I found that Weiye's fascia gun has full thrust when massaged, because it is equipped with a 1,000-yuan brushless motor, and the measured hitting strength is consistent with that of a 2,000-yuan product. Every time I use it after a workout, I can clearly feel that it is effectively massaging and relaxing my deep muscles, which can help me effectively relieve muscle soreness, and maximize the effect of the fascia gun!
2. Hitting stability evaluation
The shooting accuracy of the Mino fascia gun is extremely high, and this fascia gun is not only equipped with a brushless motor, but also uses a metal bearing engine structure to comprehensively improve the stability of the product. Even if the maximum massage gear is turned on, there will be no misalignment of the tip when used for a long time, and the muscles you want to hit can be accurately hit. I didn't accidentally hit other parts, and I was massaged safely and comfortably.
3. Evaluation of muscle protection
I have evaluated dozens of fascia guns, the fascia gun is the only fascia gun I have found that is super strong and not easy to damage muscles, with such as dual-channel approved vibration frequency technology and ARS traction technology does not hurt muscle black technology, improve the shock frequency compensation when hitting is blocked, and even under the high frequency of hitting, it also has extremely stable hitting strength and extremely high hitting accuracy, there will be no problem of trajectory offset, I use this fascia gun more frequently, and it is used in different parts of the body, but there has never been muscle redness and swelling, congestion and other adverse reactions.
4. Compatibility evaluation
Its compatibility is very good, suitable for a variety of people, whether it is a person like me who often exercises, or students, the elderly can use it to help themselves massage, this is because the Mino fascia gun is equipped with 8 massage gears, as well as 6 types of massage heads, the strength range between each massage gear is wide enough, and the applicable scenarios are rich, and users can choose the appropriate gear and hitting strength according to their own needs.
筋膜枪推荐机型2：Artsmith AS500
Fascia Gun Recommended Reasons:
How to choose a fascia gun? Artsmith, an American fascia gun brand, is not well-known abroad, only the Chinese people mistakenly think that it is a very famous foreign brand, but in fact, it is not. As far as China is concerned, there are quite a lot of product models under his family, this big gun model AS500 is more popular, its appearance is not bad, the matte texture of the fuselage is matched with a rounded line design, the design is very simple, the body size is very large, the weight has also reached 1150 grams, the handle is also relatively thick, and the grip is not very good.
Fascia Gun Evaluation Results:
1. Evaluation of product hitting strength
The overall performance of the Artsmith AS500 is not bad, but the punches are too strong, with 23kg of thrust, and I still feel a little more powerful even if I choose the lowest gear, and I used it for a while before I got used to the intensity of its hits.
2. Hitting stability evaluation
There is still room for optimization in the hitting stability of this one, and when I evaluated this fascia gun, I could clearly feel the problem of unstable hitting force, which has a certain impact on the user experience.
3. Evaluation of muscle protection
The risk of muscle damage is still relatively high, because its hitting force is too strong for ordinary people, and if it is a user with average muscle tolerance, it is likely to cause muscle damage when using it, and I myself occasionally have bruises when using it.
4. Compatibility evaluation
It has a total of 4 working modes, and the types of massage heads are relatively rich, including spherical heads, air cushion heads, flat heads, bullet heads, U-shaped heads, etc., and the selectivity is not bad, but after the actual measurement, I found that the hitting strength of each gear is very strong, there is no need for medium and low gears, and the compatibility needs to be upgraded.
Recommended model 3 for fascia gun: HYPERICE BT
Fascia Gun Recommended Reasons:
How to choose a fascia gun? Haiboas mainly designs fascia guns according to the muscle characteristics of European and American people. Its BT fascia gun is relatively large in size, the body is very recognizable, it is also equipped with Bluetooth function, it can be connected to the app to use, and the intelligent operation is more convenient. However, due to its "thick" grip, it has a poor grip and is difficult to operate with one hand. And the price is also relatively expensive, close to the price of 2000 yuan, which is only suitable for some friends with sufficient budgets.
Fascia Gun Evaluation Results:
1. Evaluation of product hitting strength
The punch is quite strong, with a thrust of up to 22kg, and when I use it, I will feel a slightly stronger pain in my muscles caused by the blow, which not only does not relieve the soreness of my muscles after exercise, but also increases the burden on my muscles. It is extremely easy to cause muscle damage.
2. Hitting stability evaluation
The vibration frequency stability of this fascia gun is really poor, and in the process of operating it, there is often a phenomenon that the hitting force is light and heavy, and the deep massage effect is greatly reduced, not to mention, it is easy to cause chronic muscle damage.
3. Evaluation of muscle protection
Its performance in muscle protection is very average, its hitting force is too strong, and the body is relatively heavy, easy to make mistakes, I have had bruises in the process of using it several times.
4. Compatibility evaluation
It has 5 kinds of massage heads, there are fewer massage modes, only 3 kinds, there is not much space to choose from, and the strength of each gear is relatively strong, the adjustable range is less, for the Chinese, the compatibility is somewhat poor, and users with thin muscles will have muscle damage problems after use.
Fascia gun recommended model 4: keep G1 Air
Fascia Gun Recommended Reasons:
Keep started as a community software, and in recent years, it has also begun to get involved in the hardware product industry. The outer layer of his fascia gun is made of metal, and it has also undergone an oxidation process, which has a simple and textured appearance and a comfortable grip. The body is small, the weight is strong, and the performance in terms of portability is not bad. In terms of charging, this fascia gun adopts the Type-C charging method, and the mobile phone cable can also be used for charging, which is more aspect.
Fascia Gun Evaluation Results:
1. Evaluation of product hitting strength
The thrust of this fascia gun is 7kg, and the amplitude is only 6mm, both the hitting strength and the depth of the blow are relatively small, and it can only be massaged to the superficial muscles, which can be used for daily relaxation, but it is difficult to relax the deep muscles, and the massage effect is average.
2. Hitting stability evaluation
Its performance in terms of hitting stability is okay, and there is rarely a decrease in force, but the accuracy of hitting is relatively average, and if you don't pay attention to controlling this fascia gun, it may not be able to press anywhere.
3. Evaluation of muscle protection
Keep fascia gun is not bad for muscle protection, its hitting force is relatively small, and it will not cause damage to the muscles when used, but the effect of muscle massage and relaxation is not very prominent.
4. Compatibility evaluation
This fascia gun has 5 gear modes, and 4 massage heads, although the gears are quite diverse, but after I measured it, I feel that the massage effect is almost the same, all of them are weak gears, compatibility needs to be upgraded, and it is not suitable for people who have high requirements for the performance of the fascia gun.
Recommended model 5 for fascia gun: Philips 5101G
Fascia Gun Recommended Reasons:
Philips is a well-known old brand, everyone should be familiar with this brand, it has a wide range of products, fascia gun is a new product developed by its family in recent years. This 5101G model fascia gun is also known as mini King Kong, the whole body is made of aluminum alloy metal, smooth to the touch and light weight, the weight is only 317g, very lightweight, and the whole is also relatively fashionable and elegant. It also comes with its own pouch that is shock-resistant and fall-resistant, providing protection against breakage.
Fascia Gun Evaluation Results:
1. Evaluation of product hitting strength
This Philips fascia gun has light thrust and shallow amplitude, with a thrust of only 9kg and an amplitude depth of 8mm. For me, when using this fascia gun, the hitting force is not enough, and it can only achieve superficial muscle relaxation, not deep massage to relax the muscles.
2. Hitting stability evaluation
The Philips fascia gun's hit stability is okay, and although I also found an issue with the trajectory of the shot in my review, it's still manageable.
3. Evaluation of muscle protection
The Philips fascia gun has good protection for the muscles, after all, its hitting intensity is not high, as long as you don't use the fascia gun on the bones, joints, abdomen and other positions, it usually won't hurt your body.
4. Compatibility evaluation
Philips's optional space is okay, with 5 gears and 6 kinds of massage heads, but the gear strength is weak, the strength of each gear is unreasonable, and it is matched with a metal massage head, there is a risk of hurting muscles when using, it is best not to use it. The overall compatibility is low. I want to be able to optimize performance in this area.
After reading this fascia gun evaluation and fascia gun recommendation, I believe you are also aware that the criteria for purchasing a fascia gun often cannot be judged simply by parameters, brand reputation, appearance design, etc. The result of many people's blind selection is to buy unprofessional products, causing muscle damage, so I ask everyone to maintain a scientific and cautious attitude, choose reasonably according to their own physical characteristics, and give priority to buying those styles with strong professional strength and easy to use without hurting muscles!
