Powerball

I dont seem to be getting any better now for some reason. I can burst it up to around 13k but not much higher.

To get better should I hold it at around 11k for 30seconds?


any tips to get better?
 
I have had a powerball for years and the only time I have ever burned myself is when a couple of friends and I decided to stop it spinning on our arms. :p

You lot are whimps! ;)
 
10200 is my record, my mates are over 11000 at the moment :(

if your getting burns then your not gripping it hard enough or have girlie hands ;)

Its like going to the gym and expeciting to bend 120k after 1 days training, build up slowly, I have noticed that I can now do faster substained RPMS with less wrist movement now as my tendons and ligaments are more flexible thanks to the powerball (and Pr0n :D )
 
Just got mine, reckon I'm doing something wrong. instructions say it should be hitting 2400 rpm after you pul the cord but mine struggling to get past 1500 and naturally gathering any momentum is pretty difficult. Should the cord continually pop out when im trying to wrap it round?

You need to keep it taught while you're wrapping it round.

Rotfl :) well since my burns my hands seem to be all fine now im slowly building it up
 
Just got mine, took me a while to work out the technique for getting it started, but we're off. Still can't do it left handed though, have to pass it over :p
 
I got my neon powerball last week and on the first day suffered from a mjor rub on my finger, took a huge chunk of flesh off and is still healing now. :(
 
Got one before xmas from london, really nice executive toy/excercise gadget.. Pity I have an impinged shoulder tendon and can't use it properly, only with my left hand... :(
 
Didn't see the point starting a new topic...

I got one this morning managed to get 7267 within a hour of using it.
 
I've had mine for a while now, don't use it much as my bro dropped it and it's never felt right since :(

Record so far is 10811 in my right hand, left had os probably about 9k ish.
 
Got mine to 11242 but haven't tried to get it further :p Will try that later on! Really I have been using mine for 40 minutes a day to help strengthen both forearm muscles :D
 
Ooops, I just tried using it but this time I used the string to start it up instead of my thumb (Don't know why lol) and as I pulled it the string got caught down the side and around the motor/gyro thingy and to get it out I had to pull it hard. It now makes a loud popping kind of sound as I reach the 7000 ish mark :(

Iirc it has a lifetime guarantee doesn't it??
