This is the roller to get. These foam rollers soften and torque and change shape over time. This one is hard enough that it remains fairly firm and straight and this is critically important to get the benefits from such rollers. Physical Therapists all use this one but it is true that they may have the cheaper softer ones for people just starting out on the roller and are struggling through the initial stages of inflamation or injury. Otherwise, THIS is the roller to get and I would suggest you ignore the few complaints about it being "too hard". You want these rollers hard for several reasons: 1. To do what they are intended to do, 2. To remain rigid and straight longer than a week.
If you are using the roller properly, yes - you will have some discomfort and even what some might describe as "pain" which is why you don't get on these things and roll on them quickly; they are meant to work with slowly as you gradually use them to help to bring order to traumatized muscle and connective tissue. Your body will adapt if you use the roller regularly and what seems "hard" today re this roller will in 3.5 weeks of rolling everyday or every other day seem almost soft and a pleasurable nice gentle massage after that.
So stick with it, don't go get a cheaper softer roller, and use it AS DIRECTED - yes even you, the non-expert, who thinks you know just exactly how hard or soft these things should be.
The roller is for massage as well as stability (strengthening) work and again, in my professional experience in the trade, this is the best one out there. The only better one I've experienced is one I made by using plastic pipe from plumbers supply and glued sticky mats to the outside of the pipe. This one is slightly softer than using my home-made pipe one; this one is the perfect consistency of hard enough to do the job but soft enough not to break anything.

Product Description
The PRO-ROLLER Standard by OPTP
OPTP released our first foam roller in 1996, when foam rolling was only known in small health and fitness circles. Eight years later, the OPTP PRO-ROLLER changed the game, delivering a new level of quality, performance and durability.
OPTP PRO-ROLLERS are built to outperform and outlast store model foam rollers. Their durable EVA foam allows for heavy, repeated use in the gym, studio, clinic or at home.
Professional Quality for All
The PRO-ROLLER is an all-purpose roller, ideal for self-massage, but also long enough to lie vertically on. It is designed for any environment.
Top Choice of Clinicians
Use for rehabilitation exercises for physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care and more.
Preferred by Gyms & Studios
Durable, high-quality, and easy to clean, these foam rollers stand up to heavy, repeated use in the gym and studio by athletic trainers and athletes.
Great for At-Home Users
Easy to use for all skill levels; these foam rollers are ideal for at-home exercise, massage, yoga, Pilates, balance training, and more.
The All Purpose Foam Roller
Great as an exercise roller for balance and core training, and for yoga or Pilates. Use for massage, as a back and body roller, or for stretching.
Moderately Firm Density
Moderately firm foam rollers are a level firmer than the soft foam roller but aren’t too hard or uncomfortable for balance and core exercise.
Professional Quality Foam
Closed-cell EVA foam delivers unmatched quality and durability. The PRO-ROLLER Standard is perfect for professionals, but also great for home use.
Easy to Clean
Features an easy-to-clean surface that can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
