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? laugh.gif

thats right
for all LEDs to function on all Powerball models, you dont need any batteries. the pwoer comes from your hand babeh laugh.gif 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 tongue.gif

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 smile.gif havent seen a neon up close though

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 tongue.gif 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 sweat.gif 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 smile.gif hope this helps. haha..

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

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

10459rpm, 250Hz Pro

Whe!?!?! WHA?!?! HOW?! shocking.gif

haha.. just like the normal thumb flick! just that now ill use the thumb of the same hand that will build up the momentum for it to spin.
hold the ball in the position where your index finger (number 2 tongue.gif) and your thumb will wrap around the lips of the opening of the ball (that means the spinning part will be facing you). rotate the ball till ur able to spin it by flicking ur thumb upwards. thats how u get the ball rolling. after that start rotating it like ur rotating a glass of wine tongue.gif if needed i guess i could take some pictures haha.. but i think you tube has a clip as well.. all the best! thumbup.gif

I can't seem to flick it fast enough. And I don't understand the wine glass technique hmm.gif
Used to use strings. No more tongue.gif Thumb-flicking all the way!

hehe.. erm.. actually just think of it this way. from the normal way you rotate ur wrist when holding the ball, now you have to reposition your palm so that your thumb and index finger wraps around the lips of the ball. like how you hold a whisky glass (am i right on this? or is it wine glass? =.=.. i dun drink hahahaha... sorry). so when you wanna rotate the ball, have to change the angle of rotation abit lor. thats why i said rotate like rotating a glass filled with water tongue.gif but actually this is just my style. im sure u can adapt and come up with a diff style that works and suits you smile.gif
