Lately i've realised my hand stamina is better
Can last longer with the powerball, but of course at around 5-6krpm
More for toning than trying to reach scores

Anyway, i think we should try strength index challenges soon

Here is my new score : 11407
Signature Series.




Attached thumbnail(s)

must the exposed part always face the floor?
dammit i cant get it to go above 2.5k >.<
cant seem to get the rotating technique right... keeps on dying off after the initial spin..i got the thumb flick technique though, just can't get it to keep moving

Not necessarily. You can have it facing to your palm also. You may even get a better grip that way as the RPM counter part is smaller. Do be careful though, make sure you do not make contact with the rotor while spinning, else you would suffer from frictional burn.

Keep trying. If you feel that you can't get the technique, try referring to videos. Soon enough you'll be able to get it.

just got mine today too

so blardy addictive, even tho my arm so painful..

can only reach 5K+ atm.. ill push on!!

funny, i can thumb flick start but cant keep it going(even with the cord start)
dunno how to rotate it haha

nope you can hold it anyway u want, as long as u dont touch the exposed part if not burn ur hand
u gotta perfect the rotating skill first, before u try the thumb flick
practice makes perfect
it'll take a while to get it =D

here is one video :

the 1st neon sudah show off
i thought i want to be the 1st

Hehe, I still can't manage to improve the high score.

i lazy use cord lol cuz after start with cord, it'll go on for like 5 seconds then it dies off
thumb flick easier for me
lately the string keeps getting caught in the ball so i ditched the starting cord

wah this thing so nice where to buy?

There are some people selling.. try look at the signatures

Anyway, updated top score

i kinda got the hang of it now, highest score is 9200 only >.<
but i can't get it to rotate clockwise only can get it to turn counter-clockwise is this normal ?

It depends on how you control the powerball.. If you find comfortable with anti-clockwise then just continue with it

When you pull with the string, try not to pull close to the edge of the case as the end of the cord will snag on the edge. You could try training thumb flick tho, it'll help loads.

Good score =D. Updated scoreboard!

Wow not bad score, for anti clockwise somemore. Weird u cant do clock wise. Perhaps you need to train more . Try changing direction when ur spinning anti clockwise. Just flick ur wrist and it shud change direction

new user report in team.


my third trial and i hit 10648.

later i post the pic

what are the symptoms of a spoilt ball?mines sounds likea car motor already....and i just got mine yday..lol

Aite post the pic i'll add ur score =D

Usually spoilt ball symptoms are vibration at low and high rpm, or no matter how hard u spin correctly, it'll refuse to go high rpm

and at the forums under Problem section : http://www.powerballs.com/forum/

usually squeaks are normal, as my other unit (250Hz) also has that sound, but it went away after i used it more
