That means your muscles aren't strong enough to grip it properly at high speed. This is what it's meant to do. Leave keep at it and you'll get stronger.

depends what muscles are stronger, obviously your grip is better than your wrists.
 
Yesssssss i just beat my record and got 10643 :) , im going to let my arm recover for a while then attempt 11k.

Edit: Ohh and my mate got one and has a cut on the inside of his finger due to not being able to hold it when it speeds up. I can hold it easilly but just get to a point where i cant get it to spin any faster. Just keep at it untill you grip improves then spin it faster.

Edit 2: So if you loose your grip in the middle of a spin does the whole ball spin around in your hand to cause the cut?.

You rotate the ball using just you wrist and try to spin the inner ball as fast as you can. Your top speed is recorded by the digital counter on top so you can compete with friends and family. Plus they also help to build grip and strengthen muscles in your arm and wrist.
 
Does anyone else find theirs gives them motion sickness? I've been feeling slightly nauseous all day and it started after I used mine this morning...

Great fun though.

thats called being left handed. my left is a bit rubbish

started using mine again now, slowly getting better by the day
 
I've had the original one for a while now, and got the signature one for christmas, I get slightly higher scores on my original one, which I guess is because on the LEDs.

The signature one is so much smoother and a lot quieter, when I first ran it on christmas day I was supprised what a difference there is.

Just before christmas I managed to break the 13k mark on the original one but now I am only getting 12800 :(

I started getting that but only at higher scores. I never used to, so I don't know if it's down to the way it is being held perhaps.
