regret regret regret regret regret..no RPM meter...aisey...regret regret regret...I dunno how fast im spinning but the powerball is creating sum very high pitch sound xd, hos fast is that? (Im so pitiful, hahaha!!)

*waiting for my right hand to regain sensation. right hand no "feel"liau now*

and i think u pull too hard 0.o
i've did that a few times before i realised, but it never came out, just dented abit
but then again, now i know finger flick, dont use it anymore

well u want u can purchase seperately, RM60
its abit expensive thats why better get Pro at first place
go sell it off and buy pro xD

hahaha

is it?
yeah...the white color look simple but cool
need to add another RM10 for that

ehh daijoubu..is it possible to change to signature
my 1 is under 2nd bulk

still wondering
what is the different between singature and neon
beside the LED color lah

the color of the light emited will be diff. Signature will be a nice white color light while the neon's one depending on which one you get. also, the color of the plastic around the ball for the signature is colorless (see through) but for the neon is colored (can see through also). as for the speed, not so sure msut ask TS =) but if im not wrong both have 2-3% speed reduction as compared to the 250Hz Pro version. its not really noticeable actually. the speed is slight reduced to light up the LEDs. like a dynamo. remember those kampung bicyles with the dynamo powered lights near the front tyres?

so no need to put the battery lah
rite?
the the brightness of the light
is up to the speed..is it?
i think...i just stick at neon for my order
maybe next time i'll get the signature
if both also got the same spec lah

thats right
for all LEDs to function on all Powerball models, you dont need any batteries. the pwoer comes from your hand babeh haha
but you will need batteries for your RPM meter. the website said it should last for about more than one year? cant remember sorry haha.. but it will be quite long before you ahve to change it. as for the Techno model, it doesnt need any batteries at all. cause its RPM meter display is from the LEDs itself

its really up to you now. i had a go at the signature model. imo if you, the singature model feels very 'classy', like a collectors model havent seen a neon up close though

neon red looks killer actually
i feel like getting one also xD

anyway, signature and neon not much difference except signature got some free dvd, extra string and a hand strap
nothing much la

now u just need to ask urself what colour u like

they have the leg attachment for the Powerball.. but you know what we need? we need a powerball that can be strapped to our abs! that will definately beat doing sit ups daily

bro the rpm meter battery need to change 1?and wan to ask my record always dissapear always change back to zero 1..what happen ah?

yup, must change when it dies out. it wont be so soon la dun worry. they said can last very long. so worry next time those watch batteries if im not mistaken.

and again if im not mistaken, you pressed the right button on ur RPM meter when it is already on. im guessing you tot it was the power off button and u pressed it. cause thats wat i did too if you take a closer look, the words of the left and right buttons are on top and says "FCN" and "ON/CLR respectively. the word at the bottom is "Auto Power Off" and doesnt refer to any of the buttons. so if you wanna swtich it off, just wait for 40 seconds when the Ball is idle hope this helps. haha..

I managed to get a score of 10001 just now. Next attempt the RPM meter went haywire and recorded a top score of 15360, whereas I didn't even manage to spin it after using the starting cord. Had to clear the record then Only managed 8666 now. Still can't do the thumb flick.

How do you guys grip the ball?

Guys read the manual and try to understand how to use. It took me a while to understand how to use the RPM meter =.=

There are five functions, 4 selectable ones

1) How many rounds you have spun. If 1000, it'll display 100
2) Current RPM
3) Top rpm. If you select this funtion and spin the ball, it'll record your current topspeed of that particular run. You can differentiate the function difference by looking at the icon. Thunder icon is topspeed every. Thunder icon inside a circle is topspeed for this run.
To clear the topspeed evern, press the ON button when it is selected. To clear the topspeed for current run, click the ON button when the ball is still moving
5) Average rpm for 30,60 or 90 second

you must make sure you dont press the ON button while the thunder icon (topspeed ever) is selected, if not it'll clear it. the rpm counter autooff one, so dont need try to off it

Yup ... the button can clear the memory for the socore. N also, maybe u accidentaly press the button when u try to hold/grip the powerball as tight/firm as u can.

I'm aware of that. Cleared my highscore deliberately as it had recorded a non-existent 15360rpm. I'm gonna have a hard time breaking that

I found out that I have scratched my ball by using the starter cord Any tips for thumb flick? I can get it up to ~1200rpm, but not able to let it continue to flow

haha thumb flick trick is in your spinning technique
if you can flick up to about 1200-1500, then its good enough, what matters next is whether you can maintain the energy and increase the rpms

keep practicing your wrist technique, and u'll get it =D

That's the problem! I can't seem to continue from there. Only done one successful flick so far Any tips on improving grips? Feels like it's going to fly away at ~9000rpm and I can't seem to figure out how to use the wrist cord

try flipping a little harder. makes it a little easier cause the gyro will be spinning faster so the momentum built up already
serious users get some kinda grip goo and apply it onto their hands and onto the powerball. hahah.. gives them more grip other than that, you could just try squeezing with so much force you can create a black hole

well, i finally passed 10k, so im gonna post my score now. hahaha.. modest achievement. shall allow my hand to recuperate first

10459rpm, 250Hz Pro

thanks dai for the COD. my current top score is only 8860.

Problem with gripping that hard is...my fingers might actually get a burn by the rotor I keep trying not to let my fingers slip in
