nb88 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 just bought a powerball :- got the neon red version from ebay for £21.50 posted. Just wondering if anyone here still uses them? I remember the TF craze for them a few months ago :- . Are they as good as they seem? Helped your fitness at all? Cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I have one, but I also find it hard to hold, I always get blisters, so it puts me off using it. I have got just over 12000 on it got it for £8 too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 mines sounding a bit gritty nowadays, i've had to put a wrist strap on it cos it kept flying outta my hand and denting stuff. My mate got one that lights up but it didn't come with rev counter. my best is 11136 at the moment. i wish you could spin it up then split the case and let the ball fly off, i bet it would go miles. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydon_peter Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I bought one directly from powerballs.com the other week, I planned to use it for like 15mins a day and see if it helped but I havent stuck to that plan :P I am hoping it will help with arm pump...I can't get over 10600, I blame it on having small hands, I can't grip the ball very well :P I struggle a bit due to the smallness of my hands aswell, although last night I got 11000, Tomm is a weakling :) I have one, but I also find it hard to hold, I always get blisters, so it puts me off using it. I suffer with this problem aswell, right now I am mainly putting up with the pain and taking it easy but the other day I found that gloves can help, just wear your riding gloves and look even more stupid powerballing with gloves on :- :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b'mouth trials Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Wooow, they look great fun. How do you slow it down when it gets too fast? Might be getting myself one of those soon then... Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoofeedude Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I had been thinking about getting a powerball, but then I wondered if you can use it with either hand? I wanted it to help strengthen my forearms and wrists, but then I thought I would only end up helping my right arm out. Those of you who have one, is it hard to do with your off hand?

Janson Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 takes a bit of practise, but it's not hard using it with either hand.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Yeah, i always start off with my left hand and get it as fast as i can, then transfer over to the right and try n beat my score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 takes a bit of practise, but it's not hard using it with either hand.. My highest with my left hand is about 1000 less that with my right hand. I just can't co-ordinate it properly <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 same here, hand keeps doing silly movements and suddenly i start doing the motion the other way around if you know what i mean. it pisses me off soo much <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-RoBBo- Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 As there are different versions of Powerballs, are different ones easier to get higher scores, or harder etc...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 The neon ones are much slower, if you're after getting big rpm scores there not the best. But i just use mine for fun and to keep my wrists from dying so the neon blue suits me fine, i still got 12625 on mine though <_< BTW has anyone seen the new world record video, over 16000!!!
