The article not only summarizes Tim’s article, but it provides more insight to the ‘aftermath’ of his study. Let me know what you think!

Sounds promising… As a TE sufferer, I will probably buy it because its cheap enough that I have nothing to lose. However…
Very disappointing that the investigator(s) could not find 30 people to participate in the study. You would think a simple post on a tennis forum website would get 100′s of volunteers.
As for switching the control group to Flexbar due to ethical concerns of withholding effective treatment: isn’t that usually reserved for products used to treat life-threatening illnesses or overwhelming positive results based on statistical significance? This study had neither.
Was the feeling that since they did not have enough subjects for statistical significance they would pump up the Flexbar # at expense of losing the control group? I think the study will have to be repeated with the proper # of subjects or it will never pass scrutiny of the scientific community. If the product and exercise truly work, it would be a big disservice to have it lumped in with the host of other products that make claims but do not have the science to back it up.
Just my 2 cents.
