Question 1

Which tension color is recommended for a 10 yr old ?

Accepted Answer

It depends what the child is attempting to accomplish. Is it intended for rehabof an injury? if so check with the doctor or physical therapist. OR Is it to strengthen for a particular sport? If so, than how far along is the strength in that hand of fingers. Typically the 3 lb is for the elderly with arthritis or rehab from an injury. While the 5 & 7 pound are the most popular for all ages. However, advanced athlete find the 7 & 9 pound too "easy" and then need to advance to the PRO  (more than likely too large for a 10 year old hand)You may want to look at either the TWO packs with TWO tensions , or the FOUR pack withall four tensions 3,5,7,9.  Fr a child stick with the regular Gripmaster NOT the PRO.

Question 2

Which tension color would be recommened for a 14 year old guitar player?

Accepted Answer

It may depend on the size of the 14 year old, male or female, beginner or experienced guitarist. The RED (7 pounds) is the most popular and since the tensions range from 3 pounds to 9 in the regular GripMasterto 13 pounds in the PRO, the 7 is a mid range tension.If the child is in progressing with the instrument, you may want to consider a twin pack with two consecutive tensions.I hope this helps.

Question 3

I lost the cushion grip for my heavy tension model. Is there a way to replace it?

Accepted Answer

No, you will need to replace the entire grip.

Question 4

Is simply squeezing it enough or are there any specific exercises I should try out?

Accepted Answer

Like others, I am not aware of specific exercises. I do, however, turn it "upside down" , putting my fingertips to palm side of exerciser, and depress two of the plungers with my thumb - thus exercising that oft-neglected digit. 
