Which should you buy?
The TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller is the better fit for regular foam rolling and traveling athletes — it is the higher-scoring pick here, chiefly for Effectiveness and Durability. The Rollga Foam Roller is the better fit for back rolling without spine pressure and IT band focus, and the stronger choice if Density Options matters more to you than the overall score. Since the TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller is both the higher scorer and $12 cheaper, the Rollga Foam Roller only makes sense for back rolling without spine pressure. The TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller is a poor fit for beginners wanting soft; the Rollga Foam Roller is a poor fit for traditional roller preference.
