Foam roller with knobs – how you roll with it
You lay your calf on the roller and roll slowly towards the back of your knee. The pressure sits on the knobs instead of the whole surface. That is why the Grid Foam Roller feels more intense than a smooth roller. What exactly happens in the tissue is something research still hasn't settled. On the result it has: right after rolling you get further into the movement, without losing strength for the next set.
It works well on the glutes, the outer thigh and the calves. Anywhere you want to stay on a small area. A whole thigh in one pass is the job of the smooth 46 cm roller. In return, this one fits most gym bags.
Large knobs instead of a grid – how the surface is built
The name is a little misleading. You won't find a grid of ridges here. The surface carries large, rounded knobs on diamond-shaped bases, staggered across the whole roller. They are matt and rounded, not pointed. That same structure keeps the roller in place. Even on a smooth gym floor it doesn't wander off under your leg.
At 12.5 cm in diameter the Grid is slimmer than our Foam Roller, and at 32 cm it is shorter too. The two do different jobs. The smooth one covers large areas in a single pass. The knobbed one stays on one spot.

Working single spots – glutes, calf, outer thigh – you take the Grid. Going for large areas, or rolling for the first time, the Foam Roller is the calmer choice. If you only need one roller, take the smooth one. You add the Grid when you want to work more pointedly.

Customer reviews
Mine sits at home next to the smooth roller, and after heavy leg days I reach for the knobbed one. Mostly on the glutes – with the big roller I never really get to the point there. Don't expect magic, it is a roller with knobs and nothing else. But it takes up almost no room in my gym bag, and that is exactly why it actually comes along.
