Fantom · 23 Jul 2006 at 12:45

Your wrist is a joint, there's no muscles there!

It's all forearm.

And anyone who's looking for one, I think most of us in here got it from a well-known e-tailer of games and DVDs (is it a competitor or not? I keep forgetting!) for around £17 iirc

I just got me one of these bad boys on an impulse buy (Neon Blue Pro)

Who'd have thought rotating your wrists could be so much fun.

I'll look like Popeye in no time I recon !!
Hahah.

Top score about 11500 I think.

mine arrived this morning, and after a frustrating day of not beating 9500, i suddenly clicked once and got 11122. my arms dead but its so much fun!!!

Tobes · 24 Jul 2006 at 21:10

lol I can beat most of you. I have 2 powerballs. A neon Blue and a techno.

I can get 11000. Oh and by the way my arm is three inches wide. Yes that is with me tensing my arm. I'm so weak...

manveruppd · 24 Jul 2006 at 22:15

Still haven't gotten the hang of starting it without the string... I somehow managed it yesterday, by holding it palm-up in my left hand and flicking it with my right thumb, but I haven't been able to do it again today... Any advice?

OWWW!!!!! Dude, I seriously hate you!!! My poor forearm hairs!!!

Didn't get it started either...

You have hairs on the inside of your arms? :eek:

that's likely to damage it, by bending the 'axel'

No, not unless you are really, really dense.

Edit: My current score is 12993, just can't break 13k

BurningHorizons · 24 Jul 2006 at 22:30

Been a year since I got my powerball out.
Used to take part in all the competitions.
Never came 1st but still managed to pull off a 13858 earlier today.
Not bad to say I haven't used it for a while.
Remember guys, practice makes perfect.

Why's that so strange? I said ARMS not PALMS!

kicks66 · 25 Jul 2006 at 18:23

i got mine today, but i cant work it :/

i put in the string and pull it, the yellow bit spins but it moves sideways only a slight bit, then it stops

teh_captain · 25 Jul 2006 at 18:33

Haven't touched mine in over a year

so i'm going to whip it out in a second and see what I can muster!!

t3h :cool:

teh_captain · 25 Jul 2006 at 18:48

Just had a quick blast and got 9943 on left and 11143 on right

t3h

kicks66 · 25 Jul 2006 at 19:09

ok i got it started with the string but i can only get to about 999rpm with my finger, the just dont have enough distance to spin it faster :/
