MrMonkey Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 do they actaully benifit upper body? or are they a gimmicky toy? ← Shoulders, wrist and forearm it says. I would still pick a decent set of weights over it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT!

It's just the fact that i can hold something in my hand that is spinning just under 250 times a second, quite amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the neon blue pro, I like flashing lights. Then i can run around at night making people think i'm a UFO. Edited June 23, 2005 by JT!

Phatmike Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 especialy as they have a warrenty. ← You really don't need to worry about that. "Hello Mr. Powerball man, i appear to have dropped my powerball and the case has smashed" "Oh dear, we can't be having that, what's your address so we can send you a new one. We can show you how to fit it too, it's ever so easy." Was the conversation with one of my friends a little while ago. Powerballs rule, and their warrenty's even better. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 but when youve lifted the weights so many times they become obsolete the powerball can keep going at a highger and higher rate which means you dont need new ones after you can do it easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Mine just came, it's good, but hard to get working! I've got the neon blue one and it's got a rev counter on (Y) Bloody good I tell thee :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball becomes obsolete, I just have to buy new weight disks that do MORE areas of my body than a little ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 i had a go of one one those lil felas in betws last time i was there there great fun! i really want one but dont have a spare 20quid damn it (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a eBay purchase will render the guarrenty useless. :P" Not just that it's other reasons like quick delievry etc. Yes I'm jealous of a spinning ball (Y) You're having a laugh aren't you I just spend £40 on weight disks, I could of bought 2 powerballs...... But I didn't. ← Who the hell is buying these ball to gain great upper body strengh? I agree, if you want to build your muscels up, get some weights. But i think most people on here are buying these powerballs just for the novalty (sp?) value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I am getting better, up to 9660. Been annoying everyone I've been around! Am determined to break the 10000 barrier. I think it's at least 50% technique rather than strength. And yeah, no-one is gonna buy one to work out their arms. Maybe if you wanted really strong arms/grip it would help. But it's just a cool thing to play with :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modx-lite Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) Got my 'Techno' the other day (it's shit, get a pro). But yeah I just got 11,805! And my mate just got 14,004. I'm sure it's just nackered... EDIT: OK after just watching that world record vid I've come to the conclusion that mine is indeed f**ked. Didn't make a noise anything like that!

JT! Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 After having a go on Ali C's one a while ago, shortly after, I bought one too. It's really amazing how much force it can put through your arm, and is apparently really good for ligament and muscle repair. My record's in the mid 11000's. TRA had a go on mine at koxx days, and just got like 14000. :P Definitely buy one if you can be bothered. :) Mike. ← Got my 'Techno' the other day (it's shit, get a pro). But yeah I just got 11,805!
