(search is telling me it can't connect to the server

I need to get one. I've been putting it off and now I have tight hamstrings, and while I'm placing an order from Road Runner Sports, I might as well add one in.

Which one do you recommend? I got a few recs from my running group, and the general consensus is to get one with ridges/knobs, but I want to see what others think as well.

My husband is a sadist and likes just a PVC pipe. I like something a little softer but still not super squishy. Go to Dicks and fondle them before you make a decision.

I have this one, too. I also got a massage ball www.tptherapy.com/Shop-Online/All-TPPT-Products/Massage-Ball_2.html that really helps to get a little deeper where the foam roller can't go.

It's pink (not sure if the colors mean anything or are just decorative). I got it at TJMaxx for much cheaper than offered else.
