I just got mine from poslaju, coz I was not at home when it came on Friday.
Anyway, been trying it... I gotta say, it's either I am not doing it right or simply dumb or it's damage during postage, I just can't maintain the ball to keep rolling. As soon as I spin it with the starter string, and face it down and move my wrist, it dies off like in matter of seconds. And it keep having the knocking sound.
I will try more after work
ur not doing it right
you have to pull the string harder, and get at least 1500rpm and then use your wrist to maintain the momentum and slowly increase the spin
the powerball is pretty hardy, it wont get damaged in the postage so easily

Pull the string harder!! HARDER!!
djb, the counter can take out 1 kah? I thought only for those who bought the counter and ball separately can take out?
yup counter can be removed, use a flat head screwdriver and pop it out at the sides

Looks like a lot of us having the noise problem ... me also
... n it started noisy after the third times, also .. it vibrate a bit before stop ....
the reason why it vibrates before it stop is because you forcefully try to stop it by either slacking your hard or gripping it very hard and exert force opposite to the spinning direction. as you know, when the ball is stationary, there is abit of up/down play for the rotor. meaning, you can press the rotor up and down inside the ball when its steady. now when its spinning, it'll spin right in the middle, but if u were to stop it forcefully or you were to slacken your hand, it'll allow the ball to jump inside the track, causing the hard metal ends to eat up the track, or enlarge the polycarbonate ring. now when this happens, the smooth fluid feeling of the ball will wear out, giving that hard gravely feeling, but, it does not affect performance much, just the feel.
so, to prevent this, you must NOT slacken your hard or grip it very hard to forcefully stop the ball
you have to instead, continue to grip it firmly, and slowly reducing the amount of strength on the ball
also, the white silicon thing isnt the one moving at 10k rpm. the rotor is the one moving at 10k rpm. but the white silicon thins (called the polycarbonate ring) is usually the one that will wear out first
, depending on how u stop the ball.

jz open up n clean it.... got bit improvement.. ^^
mayb jz like it says... best method is use the high pressure air blow... easy...
use my cloth like so hard to rub off the tiny particle.. :S
btw... i jz know tat it's the 'white silicon' thing spinning le....
won't the 'white' thing wear off after few years usage??
since.... it keep spinning around 10k ma
:P
if u use it properly it wont wear off for years and years
but if u continue to stop it the wrong way, it'll eventually wear off and you'll have to replace the polycarbonate ring and/or the housing, which i think u can request from them to be sent to u
the rotor is the one that can last very very long, and its the most important part. the ring and housing is easily replacable

http://www.powerballs.com/faq.php?id=27Like i said, do not worry cause it wont degrade the performance significantly
. But im asking from Powerball regarding warranty procedur as well as how to get replacements parts. Hopefully they would allow me to get em, and then i can pass it to ya all
.
Else, you might have to request it from them yourself. I'll wait for their reply and update you all
