ummmm....i really dont get these things! What exactly is their point???
they're really good for forearms.
Also meant to be good for RSI and inbetween gym workouts.
Tried mine again a couple of months ago and tried timing for each arm - 60 seconds got much longer that day.
They do work though. I can never remember to do anything beneficial for more than 2-3 days at time, but once I did remember to use my powerball for 3 days and I swear I was on the verge of becoming vaguely muscular.
Does anyone own a chrome one? And if so is it worth getting one if you've already got a boring not even neon one?

My best score is 9723 so far. i can get 9000+ with either hand aswel
And, i can start it with my finger. No cord required for me

Lost of benefits including an immense workout for wrists, forearms, biceps, triceps and pecs. Also, its fun
Iv managed to get mine up to 10,980. I can do nearly that with my left aswel. My hands are covered in blisters (pinkies especially) and my arms are like lead
So much fun though

after seeing how silly the world record holder looks while doing it, i had to order 1
Challenge:
anyone who can do two powerballs at once (gonna need some assistance winding up) at full effort for 2 minutes, without puking, earns the right to wear a "I have passed the ball test" T-shirt (line stolen from Mighty Boosh)
Sounds it...Iv managed to get mine up to 10,980. I can do nearly that with my left aswel. My hands are covered in blisters (pinkies especially

I got mine for Xmas last year and managed 11,000 odd ... but that was with loads of practise. It was also with my weaker left arm which was odd
It also depends on which model you have - I have a training one, which has a low limit on it, which I use to keep my wrists supple (boxing and guitar playing) and I have an official powerball which I use for speed - about 10,000 is my best - I doubt I'm getting on that leaderboard anytime soon!
Got mine yesterday, highest is 10941 which I done just now
but I have been using it for a few hours at low speed while doing other stuff.
I lost a bit of skin from each little finger too
My wrists ache now.. although that might have been from excessive thowing of randomly weight objects yesterday at work
I still can break 11,000Got mine yesterday, highest is 10941 which I done just now

Great fun though, even if i did shread my little finger the other day
My max is about 10,300 ish... I'll beat the 11k soon
I find it hard to make it go faster, i dont really struggle to hold onto it ( yet )
The trick to higher scores is technique as well as strength - the booklet is right when it says >13k scores only require a circle of revolution about a centimetre wide. That said, I'm still getting stuck at just under 12k with both hands with mine at the mo :-(.
My record at the moment is 10458 but ive only had it a few days so i guess i havent got the technique mastered quite yet
Lol, I'd never heard of these before, but they look great fun
Is it best to order them from the manufacturer's website (i.e. is there anywhere else that sells them for less?)
Cheers guys
