About Stroke and Stall
Stroke and Stall is for people buying a percussion massage gun. Listings lead with speed counts and percussions per minute. The two numbers that tell you how deep and how firm a gun can work are amplitude, which is how far the head travels in millimeters, and stall force, which is how hard you can press before the motor stops. Many listings leave one or both out. This site starts with those two numbers, then weight and grip for reaching your own back, then the noise and battery claims. We have not used these products. We read the listings and the owner review summaries on Amazon.
Who runs this site
Stroke and Stall is run by one independent publisher who also runs the sister guides listed at plainbuyguides.com. We are not owned by, paid by or partnered with any brand we write about. Amazon is the only company we have an affiliate relationship with, and it has no say in what we write.
How picks are made
We choose every product from public information: the manufacturer's spec sheet and Amazon listing, safety certifications, warranty terms, and recurring themes in what owners report. We read the listing numbers closely, run them through the same math as the calculator on this site, and leave out products whose listings hide the numbers that matter. We only list products sold on Amazon. If a number on this site is a manufacturer claim, we label it as a claim.
We do not test products
We have not bought, used or tested these products, and we do not receive free samples. Nothing here is a hands-on review. When we describe what owners like or complain about, that is our own summary of recurring themes in public owner feedback, not our experience and not a quote.
How this site makes money
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. When you click a link to Amazon and buy something, we may earn a small commission from Amazon. It costs you nothing extra. Commissions never decide which products we list or the order we list them in, and we do not accept payment for placement. There are no ads and no sponsored posts on this site.
Prices
We do not print prices because they change daily. Use the buttons to see the current price on Amazon.
Corrections
Listings change and we make mistakes. If you spot a wrong number, a dead link or a product that is no longer sold, tell us. We check every report against the current listing, fix confirmed errors as soon as we can, and change the "Updated" date on that page when we do. If a correction changes a recommendation, we say so on the page.
