Compression sleeve

I'm looking to get one to help with my elbow. It's on it's way, but not to the point of surgery. My question is for any of you that have tried different compressions sleeves. I have read good things about the under armour, evo shield, and phiten. It probably comes down to personal preference, but can anyone offer up any advice as to which is most affective. Thanks in advance.

I used Phiten, Nike sleeves before. I switched to the Adidas Techfit Powerweb sleeves. I like the extra pull, push that the bands create. It's almost like having Kinesio Tape on.

Over the years I have had good luck with Magnetic wraps. I have a pinched nerve in my elbow which effects my pitching had and when it bothers me I put the Homedic Magnetic wrap on and it helps. I also use one for my shoulder.

It makes my arm feel stronger, and more confident to make long throws like a throw to home from the SS cut off spots in the grass.

I have used Nike and Under Armour, i cant tell much different, i think as long as it fits correctly they all will help

Check out BioSkin. I have been using there Calf sleeves for years. They are not just some spandex stretched over your arm or leg. The material is thicker than UnderArmour, but no where near neoprene...

i use the adidas as well. just make sure it is a real compression sleeve, the sleeves for looks do assist in blood flow. i also like the phiten

That is a big negative to the name and # on there lol. This isnt going to be used for a fashion statement lol. It'll be flat black when I do choose one. I appreciate all the input. I have looked into the ones that I wasnt familiar with(adidas, and bioksin). unfortunately, this has just made the decision more difficult.

What's the problem here?
Without a name and number on it, how will you know it's yours? I'm just trying to help. I'd hate for you to go through all of this trouble to find the best arm compression sleeve then have someone pick it up and you lose it right away. I'd seriously encourage a name and number.

Under Armor is the best one Ive tried. But even the cheap eastbay ones do the trick and are pretty durable.

I use the Mueller Elbow Sleeves for 'Golf Elbow' area tendonitis. They are simple & effective, black, low profile, good compression, & durable.
