At THP, we believe that testing should be done not only by us, but also by the golfers just like you. One of the cool features about being an active member of the THP Forum is that we look to you guys/gals, the consumers, to give feedback on equipment to golfers all around the world. Each month we send out iron sets, drivers, hybrids, putters, trainings aids and golf balls to our active members to be a part of the THP Forum Member testing.
The Theragun PRO
If you follow the THP Forum reviews, a few months back we sent Theragun mini units to 10 golfers to review and the thoughts were game changing for golfers. If you missed those reviews, you can find them here. We wanted to get reviews from golfers on one of the other units as well. The Theragun PRO is a larger unit that has every bell and whistle you could imagine. Check out their website for the details here.
The Theragun PRO kit features everything shown below and regular cost is $599. The device is professional grade and works extremely well with mobile app integration taking your routine to new levels. For those wondering, it does fit in the side pocket of our golf bags, and using it before the round is warmup perfection.

Looking forward to seeing who joins in on the Theragun PRO.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? Been very interested in the information and opinions of the Theragun on THP and would like to try it after jogging and going to the gym. Also, interested to see if helps with lower back stiffness.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member Yes
Nope. Thought about it but never pulled the trigger.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
I’m old and 30 years of playing baseball have messed up my hips, back, and shoulders. Tend to get massages every once in a while but the use of a Theragun might be able to release some of that tension and allow me to have a more flowing swing.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
Yep. Albatross Member and proud of it.
1. I am currently using the Theragun Mini & didn’t know what I was missing until I gave it a go. Aches & pains are relieved within a few mins.
2. The Theragun Pro takes the bar up with the inclusion of different tip fittings & an app to complement different routines. I’m ready for the next level!!!
3. I am an Albatross member.
Thanks for the opportunity!!!
– Yes, knock off device, similar to this. It was meh, and currently gathers dust somewhere in a closet.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
– One hears so much about these and the mini. Are they really that much better?
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
– Sure am!
2. I’ve looked and looked at the higher models, to get something a little stronger for a dual head set up and to be able to get to my back without always having wife do it. Tried to convince my wife I was going to by one for her and she balked at the time. Lol. The ponder intensified when they had even the prime model set up at top golf live last weekend. Would love to give this a go.
3. Yes, AC member
2. I’d like to try the Theragun Pro especially during the early part of the golf season when I know my muscles are going to be sore after not having played for 4 months.
3. I am an Albatross club member.
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before? I have not.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? For 2 reasons:
a. To help release tension from sitting at my desk most of the day, which will hopefully reduce migraines as a result
b. To reduce muscle soreness due to exercise. I’m not getting any younger, and as I try to continue my fitness levels, the soreness goes up with age. I’m to the point where I feel like I can’t run like I used to, because of how sore I am days after. Looks like there is an attachment for any number of areas that are sore after my workouts.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member Yes, I am an AC member.
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before? No. Never
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
I have read so much good feedback about the mini. I suffer from back and occasional leg pain. My inversion table helps, but obviously not with the muscle soreness. I have also read that you can’t always reach the lower back with the mini unless you have another person do it for you, but you can reach with the pro
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member For sure.
1. I have tried percussion therapy before. My son wanted a Theragun Mini for his birthday last month. He plays basketball, tennis, and throws shotput and discus for his high school. He loves it as he can throw it in his bag and take it with him everywhere he goes. I used to use a vibrating foam roller at the gym (will be glad to go back once vaccinated LOL) and I really enjoyed that.
2. I think percussive therapy works and I would love to have this to use after a round of golf to combine with stretching or to loosen up some stiffness.
3. Duh, everyone should be an Albatross Club member.
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before?
I have tried some other brands and also purchased a Theragun Mini as my first venture into the Theragun line and love it. Purchased it as a way to have a portable method to help with some muscle soreness on trips and light muscle therapy.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
I am currently going through
hella targeted workout program to helpcrush my spiritstrengthen core golf muscle groups twice a week which leaves parts of my body I didn’t know I had really sore and in need of some percussive therapy. The mini has been great for those areas that I can reach and that doesn’t need really deep impact but I can only imagine how much better the Pro would be for reach and for recovery in deep muscle aches. I have months left before my league starts and this program is going to continue tokick the ever-living shyte out of mehelp me build up power and speed in my golf swing. I can only imagine how much better having a Theragun Pro would help withmy survivalmy recovery.3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
But of course! Best club in the world to join.
I have the Theragun Mini
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
I’m a "Senior Tour" type of player with my share of Aches and Pains. I also have been at the Gym 6 days a week and would really put this to use.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
Yes I ‘am.
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before?
-I have not. My wife typically steps up as my therapist for aches and pains before I go out to strike it. She wants to be replaced by the Theragun.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
-Too often I go out to the course cold, not enough stretching feeling stiff and achey. I want to try this because the technology is crazy behind it. The PRO reaches 60% deeper into muscle with precise amplitude.. that is legit. It sounds like it is not just a vibration that feels weird on the skin, but instead it leaves a potent dose of percussion for great circulation and relief. This would certainly become a part of my pre round routine and I would love to try and review for THP.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
-Confirmed ?
2. I started a workout program to get better fit and more flexible with stretches, kettle ball weights, bicycle, and running. The Theragun gun would greatly help keep to keep me on track when I have those days where my muscles say not today.
3. Yes, I am a 2021 Albatross member.
I have tried the theragun mini and hypervolt.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
I feel like this will reach places the mini can’t get to (adjacent to shoulder blade) and want to check the percussive difference.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
yes!
2. The reason that I want to try a Theragun Pro is because I have a back that will always give me problems. I have gone through a compression fracture in my neck from a car accident and have had two herniated disks in my lower back. In addition, I am at an age where I feel aches and pains. I have truly enjoyed the Mini, but feel like something a little bigger, with more therapeutic options would be wonderful. However, it is hard to justify buying yet another one, without being able to see if it would be even more helpful. There are days where I might not play golf without being able to use the Mini. I would dearly love to try this. Finally, I love to try to give good feedback on the forum and enjoy the participation.
3. I am a 2021 Albatross Club member.
1.Yes, I currently own the Theragun Liv. Love it.
2. I’d love to try the pro because while the liv gets the job done, everything still hurts after leg day and I think I may be dying. My hope is that the attachments and app tag team would do a fine tuned job of muscle and strain recovery in various areas instead of just the overall, one speed way.
3. Albatross Club for life
2. I want to try the Theragun Pro to be able to feel and hear the difference between the mini and even my Amazon device. This is a big part of my recovery and I’ve noticed a difference between the Theragun Mini and the Amazon version. I expect the Theragun Pro would be the best version of all of them.
3. Sign up if you aren’t an Albatross member! I’m always happy to re-up every year.
Yes, I have the previous generation theragun pro and the theragun mini.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
I got my pro right before they released the new line. From my reading the new pro is quieter and has more modes and I wish I had waited. (One of my wife’s biggest complaints is how loud the previous gen pro is). If chosen I would compare the two and then gift my prior gen to a THPer in some sort of contest.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
Of course!!
Comment below and answer these 3 questions.
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before? somewhat, My Chiropractor used a percussion a couple of times back when i went. its been a year.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I live with SI and LBP from many years of work and sports. I have a couple of "massagers" that the wife has bought form amazon or elsewhere and they are …just okay but i believe that a firmer percussion would do better for me. With starting a new workout program 2 weeks ago after getting my cast off my foot, th muscles are SORE. Being able to get that deep tissue relief would be tantamount to my relief and staying with it.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member yes Albatross Member
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before?
Yes, but nothing as sophisticated as the Theragun Pro.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
The Theragun Pro looks about as good as it gets when it comes to percussive therapy, but the price tag is a bit too high for me to have grabbed one yet. As a walking golfer and gym rat, if it can get me back on the course sooner, I need to try it.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member.
Absolutely
2. I’m curious about the differences between this device and the mini. Does it provide a different level of relief? It looks like theirs an integrated app that you use with your phone – what’s up with that? How do the different attachments change the effects of the device, are they better for certain body parts? Etc.
3. Of course.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I have heard good things about the noise reduction vs the first gen. First gen was loud! Also I am a golfer/skier who just turned 40 and has my own issues with back pain, hip tightness and lots of fascial restrictions. When I have body work done my swing gets longer and less restricted. If this can replicate that for me it will be a huge performance booster for my golf.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. Yes!
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I normally wouldn’t consider buying something like this, but I am intrigued after seeing all of the true believers on the forum.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. Confirmed
2. I was very interested in Theragun when doing my research for a percussive therapy device since they are considered the best in class. However, the price point was a bit high when I discovered the Kraftgun for about half the cost and very similar set of features. It would be great to actually compare them side by side!
3. I am a new Albatross member and find myself spending more and more time on this forum!
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? We purchased a similar unit, but not in the class of the Theragun and while it is nice, it is missing some of the features of the Theragun and is not nearly as well made. Having one of these devices for a little while makes me want to use a better quality device.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member: I am indeed 2021 Albatross Club Member.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I want to try the Theragun PRO as I have gotten older I have realized the importance of taking care of my wellness including stretching and massaging pre and post workouts/golf so that I can get my body flexible and reduce my over all pain. I have been interested in trying out the Theragun PRO due to all the positive reviews regarding using it as a pre and post workout/golf.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. Yes
I have used a knock off brand with limited attachments.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
The different attachments, it looks there are some that can help pinpoint specific areas and ones that can help alleviate large muscle groups!
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
Yes, I am!
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I have tried the Theragun Mini and was super impressed. I would love to see the pro version.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. Yes!
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before? Yes. I currently use the Theragun mini.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I love the Theragun Mini but I struggle to hit some of my main trouble areas myself. I’ve started spending hours driving for work again and having the full reach, extra power and the lineup of attachments with this unit seems like a perfect solution to hit the trouble spots that come from being cramped up in a vehicle for hours a day. Sadly I’m getting older and my body is letting me know that and using this before and after activities would be so nice.
The app also seems like a very cool feature that would be fun to use and see what kind of an impact it has.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. Yes I am.
2. Would love to try one to aid sore muscles, but would also love for my oldest daughter to try it out as she is dealing with a shoulder injury. Would love to see how it aids with that process.
3. Yes, I’m an Albatross member.
2. I would like to try the Pro because it appears to be different and to offer more options to use including the various attachments. The comparison would be interesting . Golf season is around the corner and im about to start going to the dome to hit balls. My gym has reopened and im back working hard on a general and core workout as well as back to every other day Superspeed workouts. I would close out each workout with the pro as i would need it as well as experimenting with some pre golf golf swing pre workout sessions.
3.I am a 2021 Albatross Club Member.
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before?
I have dabbled with them but never bought one. I have tried a friends but not a Theragun.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
My body is a mess. I have a chronic back issue that hasn’t been able to be diagonsed, hip problems tied to a car accident when a kid and muscle tightness from a lengthy illness. I stretch and do mobility regularly and feel this could make a big difference in my daily comfort and hopefully improve on the way I feel on the golf course.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
I am a 2021 Albatross member and on THP more every day than I probably should be.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? It might keep me from regular chiropractor more if I have something to treat minor aches
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member Always have been and always will be.
Thanks for a chance THP.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I am a 58 year old active person with knee, back and shoulder problems. I would like to remain active and reducing or eliminating aches and pains would go a long way to help me maintain an active lifestyle.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. I am a 2021 AC Member.
I currently have the Theragun mini
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
I would love to be able to reach my back better and not have to ask my wife or strain my arm or reach tough spots.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
Confirmed
1. I have 0 experience with percussion therapy
2. My mom is a LMT. I have so many trigger points that are balled up she doesn’t even try to work them all out. With this I could eliminate them. Plus I just started a MMA themed workout routine with the kids. I am a sore dude, I haven’t lifted heavy in 20 years.
3. Yup! Always. Plus you know I’ll review the snot out of it. ?
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? The mini works well but looker for a bigger unit to get the harder to reach places on my back. And looking for deeper stimulation with the assorted attachments.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. Yes, Yes I am!
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? I’m into my mid 40’s now and spent the majority of my teen and college years carrying heavy drums in marching band and drum corps. Since I’ve taken up golf in my adult years I definitely feel like my lower back has seen it’s share of wear and tear and I’m ready to start exploring options to help keep myself pain free as I get older. I’m really feeling it right now in the Ohio cold as I’m trying to practice for Spring and relearn how to hit my driver again.

1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before? – YES! The Theragun Mini is the greatest thing ever.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO? – I want something that is a bit easier to use at home with more feature rich options.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member – You better believe it.
2. Really impressed with the mini, the added features make this very interesting, the app function would be a benefit if able to do specific routines to get specific results.
3. As soon as it came out what a great purpose that comes with many more benefits.
2. I am very excited to the see the integration with their mobile app, which was previously pretty basic
3.
1. Have you tried percussive therapy devices before?
No, I have yet to use a device like this.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
As I get older, sore muscles and lack of flexibility becomes more of an issue. From everything I’ve read and heard about these devices, it could be a real game changer in terms of recovery and possibly even to loosen up before the round. Would love to find out.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
Yes, I am.
I am a recent adopter of percussive therapy, purchasing the Theragun Mini a while back. I did not think it would be as beneficial as it has been, and my family uses it often.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
If the Theragun Mini has one shortfall for me, it is that it takes two people to use it on the back. It’s perfect for travel and to hit legs, arms and chest, but anything on the back can be a bit of a logistical challenge without an extra set of hands. And wouldn’t you know it, I seem to have pinched a nerve somewhere in my back near my shoulder blade while working on my garage door and the best relief comes from using the mini by my shoulder blade. So I have been asking the wife pretty much nightly to help me out, which i am sure looks like a knock-off episode of Friends with me going "more right. no, my right. yeah that way. wait, too far. up a little. a little more. ok right there. wait not too hard…" With The Theragun Pro, I could do all of that myself and my wife would be able to live in peace.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member
Can confirm.
Yes, when I went to chiropractic, it was not the best for me at that time, but it helped me discover that I was not having back issues, rather I needed a new hip. Cut to 2 years later, bought a knock off – and it’s ok, but not nearly as good as the device that my chiro used.
2. What makes you want to try Theragun PRO?
First; it’s having the knock off and knowing that simply put it’s just not as effective as the real deal – and frankly it does not work that well. Add that, I have back issues, a new hip, arthritis in both wrists, my wife has a new hip and needs a second one – so we would likely be frequent users between us. My back is better from weight loss, but I plan to play more golf this year, and this tool would likely help reduce post round issues in the wrists and lower back.
3. Confirm you are a 2021 Albatross Club Member. Joined earlier this week. A most worthy cause.
2. Being an athlete who came to golf a little later in life I like to approach golf as a part of an athletic lifestyle. I try to work out daily, have a specific stretching routine I use each day, and do these things to help improve my golf and as well sustain my overall physical health. I have had success in improving as a player with this approach, to me the work done before I swing the club is as important as actually swinging the club. I would love to incorporate the Theragun into my daily fitness/recovery routine, see how the app integrates with and helps to both treat and warm-up various areas of the body, and share my experiences with the device.
