The Pro Roller is a good quality foam roller that is not too hard for most people. It is a medium density roller.
(The blue and green are the same density.)
Some people may have a need for the softer pink foam roller.
Some people do prefer the high density roller. (black & silver.)
The blue and white ones are generally less expensive, not as hard as the black and silver, but not as soft as the pink.
