just wondering...neon and techno
which 1 look more cool?
i like the "light" of neon
but techno..got very unique score display

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

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

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

haha well the thing is that it gets harder to hold it as the thing gets faster. at 10krpm, i feel like im gripping like mad, and the thing is, the harder u grip, the more u work your muscle .

after doing a powerburst, i have no energy to keep holding it i have to use two hands to stabilize it
good score! =D
slowly slowly la u'll get the thumb start

wah like very interesting.. care to explain wat does the herz means?

which wrist cord you are refering too? the one sold on the website one is the normal looking, one piece wrist cord. looks like a handphone strap . the one signature gets is a bigger, more wider two piece wrist cord which is detachable. i prefer the signature one, but i rather use it for my handphone or something

wonder when can i get to 15k??

damn timothyy you almost hit 12k already in just 2 days >.<
hahah ppl will tend to wear our the little finger first cause its the weakest
its hard to grip at high RPMs cause the amount of force is crazy. you have to be strong to hold it
haha yes it is safe. its like an exercise tool. if you keep wanting to pump iron non stop without resting your hard will feel like its gonna drop off too . its like that.

Hi is my score.
Signature series.

hahaha i've mastered the art of concealment
Pretty good, but i've edged you out for the signature title xD

My secret? No secret la... may be I less TFK... so, all the energy saved... Kakakaka....
And again... may be its because its Signature series... Go buy another one from daijaobu...

About the thumb flicker... I've been trying that but not hard enough. The problem is I can't use my left thumb to flick as my left wrist is injured. But I thnk after few flicks, I should be about to start it. So, you start using 1 hand or 2hands now? Akis is using 1 hand right?
What made you think I did not do the same like you?   

Today, brought it to office... they all blur... didn't bothered to find out about the product. Tried it and gave up. Kakaka...

Kekeke... see la...
I go and poison them now... 

Time to buy new one...     

its normal mine also have already
whenever u do a powerburst, becareful not to just slacken your hand or try hard to brake the ball by fighting the inertia in the opposite direction cause it'll cause it to jar and jump on the track, causing it to slowly scratch off bit of the plastic. always slow down the rotation of your hand instead.

anyway dont worry it wont affect the performance, just the sound/feel of the powerball
shiet you beat it to it >.<

Wah.... competitor coming!!! U use steroid ah? Anyone who beats daijaobu's record is using steroid... as per his remarks...

yup and spinning and sustaining 8krpm and above stresses the biceps too. do if u want to train your biceps, try to sustain above 8k rpm for long periods of time. use the last function of the rpm meter to train
correct correct

=.='' so little increasement only
hahaha xD
steriod wearing out?

I can't understand...   
Someone who cannot make it over 11k mark wanna comment on 12k mark...      
What happened? Rosak ah? Kekeke
daijaobu... the klik kluk sound is getting worse. Now when it spins, it gives a very loud "wong" "wong" sound already...   

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

yes but you'll burn your hand
you can use your shirt too, but it might introduce lint into it

hmmm apparently it seems that the heavy users are the one facing this problem
cause mine also have the same prob, but after the cleaning its fixed
so i highly suggest u do the cleaning
read the first post, under DIY Opening and Cleaning
did for mine and it feels much much smoother now

Wow... 11499. That's good. Try using both hands to get high speed. For me, I am off as my wrist injury is getting worse after playing it. Kekekeke. Now, I got to use my wrist guard again.
Anyway, I can get thumb start with every few tries now. My left wrist injury is making it more difficult as I can't use my left thumb to flip or hold it tight when my right thumb flip.
 

I guess we have to bear with the wear and tear. It is just a ball made of plastic. What can we expect? No matter how good is the ball bearing, it still uses the plactic as th rail. Sooner or later, it will wear off.
