Got my PowerBall Signature series less than a week. My personal best: 11,867RPM, got it just few minutes ago.


Added on August 26, 2009, 1:27 amThanks to bro daijoubou for updating the scores! Btw, yesterday I got the same highscore of 11867 again, exact record. Got it recorded in video. I was stunned for hitting the exact number.

Hopefully I can break 12k barrier soon. LOL. Consistent with 11k range now. Left hand can only do 10k range though.

I'd say NO!

starting the ball up requires a LOT of wrist motion, once you hit 5k RPM, the movement required is less, but the force that is applied is kinda too much for a dislocated wrist to manage.

maybe next time when it heals better you can get it for him, but definitely not right after the surgery.

Nightstalker is right. There was once I sprained my wrist, I couldn't control the powerball properly with the sprained hand. What more if it is dislocated.

But maybe if you can start the powerball with the other hand then make it spin around 3-5k rpm, then practice with both hand, using the unhurt hand as a support. Maintain at a speed that the hand can manage.

actually now is in the physiotheraphy period already 2 years from the surgery, but the improvement seems litte, so i m thinking of using this powerball to help for the exercise instead of going to hospital do the exercise programme for once every two weeks only.

if possible, try to test out a powerball yourself and decide whether is it good for him. its very hard to describe the feeling of holding and using a powerball through words, pics, and even vids.

biggrin.gif Powerball 250Hz. hmm, it seems that i'm most comfortable spinning the powerball like how i would spin a heavy yoyo while doing loop-the-loop... though it's not so comfortable now with all the muscle aches and blisters... cry.gif
