Is the TimTam Massager Powerful Enough?

Firstly, immediately after powering this on and applying the massager to your body, you notice the raw power of this device. It was always known for its power, and the newest model doesn't disappoint there.

 

Secondly, I started off by applying some light hand pressure into my muscle, and I never really needed to press in further, as the percussion power was plenty. For the sake of the review, I did try pressing in further, but I didn't keep doing so for long because it wasn't necessary.

 

Overall, the power aspect is a plus, but it is much louder compared to some of its competitors, which are just as powerful if not moreso, but also quieter.

I would like to point out here that everyone will feel or perceive the power differently. Rather then just going off of my opinion, here are three other Recreation of LA staff member's opinions as well.

 

This will give you a better sense of the power range you can expect from this massage gun.

TimTam Power Rating

In conclusion, the graph above shows that everyone who tested the TimTam respected its power, giving it an average rating of 8.

 

I personally rated the TimTam a 8 for power. The power was so great that you didn't need to stay in one spot too long or press into the device to feel its effect. This is ideal for those who need to treat multiple areas and for those who might fatigue easily when using other devices.

 

How does the TimTam feel on your Back?

 

Rather than just describing the power of the TimTam to you, I've also included the below descriptions for the feeling it gives you when used on different body areas.

 

Back: While I could reach my own traps with little effort, once I had a buddy use it on my traps and lower back, I was even more impressed. It really loosened up my extremely tight traps and my back in general. Just make sure you avoid the spine and shoulder blades! The noise is also pretty annoying while near your ears, to be frank.

Legs: Although I was able to easily apply it on my quads and calves, for my glutes, hips and hamstrings I needed a partner to help reach them. This was a pleasant experience, if not intense. To be sure, this is where the power is so valuable, because you can really dig in deep into areas with greater muscles development.

Front Shoulders, Forearms: I thought it did a great job on both of these areas, I could paint over them like a paint brush and feel the positive effects without much effort.
