THE GREAT EQUALIZER
Champion Sports Lacrosse Ball
$ budget-friendly within recovery
A regulation lacrosse ball, which is to say a very hard ball that costs almost nothing and finds knots your roller cannot reach. Glutes, hips, that one spot in your calf with a grudge. It is the best value-per-dollar item on this page and it is not close. Keep one at your desk and one in your gym bag.
Best for: deep, targeted spots on a lunch-money budget

Worth knowing about recovery
- The free stuff, sleep, easy days, and water, outperforms everything on this page, and it is not close.
- Five minutes of rolling you actually do beats the thirty-minute routine you keep meaning to start.
- Soreness that fades as you warm up is normal; pain that sharpens is a physio appointment, not a gear problem.
- Buy the lacrosse ball first, and let how often you use it decide whether you deserve the massage gun.
