Looking to buy one of these but price-searching on Kelkoo only served to get me confused with all the different versions there are about. There's some costing £15 and one that costs £65! :eek:

Since each website I visited tended to only have one or at most two different versions of the powerball for sale, and the blurbs on each one weren't very informative, I thought I'd post here since I know plenty of you own them, and ask what the differences between all the different flavours are, and where a good place to buy one from without getting fleeced would be. I'm mainly looking to build up my wrist because I spend a lot of time typing on my computer and I fear I'm going to develop RSI, so I'm not looking for any of the sports professional versions I've seen on sale online!

Thanks, and no wrist exercise jokes please!:D
 
Got one of these about 4 days ago now :)

So far my score is 9600 something and can't really "break the barrier".

Anyone got any tips?
 
Gah! I'm even more confused! Why is there a "with counter" version when the "normal" 250Hz Pro it shows in the picture on the website HAS an LCD counter on it? I reckon I should go for this one - since it's only £3 more expensive than the next model down... (sports retailer so not a competitor I hope, dons please feel free to remove if it is)
 
That's the one most people have got, the neon blue with counter; they're fun.

I haven't beaten about 10600 left, 9700 right hand - I haven't used it for ageesss though.

I've got the Blue Neon with counter. I think most people get that one. I'm about to start my second spin-up of the day with mine, trying to get my wrists and forearms not looking quite so skinny by using it every day.
 
my top score is 11126. Once you get over the initial blistors its a lot easier!

I tend to hold mine upside down, get a better grip that way.
 
Ive just taken the plunge and ordered one too. Same neon blue thinger. Hopefully it should help my arm strength for breakdancing..
 
Uhh... a little help please? I've only owned it for one day and I managed to get the cord stuck inside it! It's tangled up in the mechanism and I have no idea how to take it out! Help? :( :confused:
