Whenever I purchase merchandise online, whether it be a pair of tennis shoes or a racket, I always look at the product reviews. Not only because this is helpful in deciding which items to buy, but also because the product review pages are where the most entertaining people on the internet come out to play. Amazon always has some feisty reviewers, and those who purchase tennis gear are among them.
If you don’t find the following Amazon reviews entertaining, at least you now know not to buy the products.

DOES NOT DELIVER WHAT IS EXPECTED, October 16, 2012
By Brunobv
Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. Maybe, I said maybe, it can hold the pressure of the balls for a little longer. But it won’t revigorate dead balls. Disappointed.
Lesson Learned
You can’t bring the dead back to life.

Infant child was unimpressed with this product. Hence, worthless.

Mueller Hg80 Tennis Elbow Brace
The Review
flimsy, June 24, 2013
By Clayton Pigwillow “Claypig” (Metford MD)
Very floppy and weak, this brace does nothing but create a sweaty spot on my arm. It does come with a cool little bag, but has no other redeeming quality.
Lesson Learned
Keep the cool little bag for your rock collection.
