butcha87 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Yeh i can start mine without the string, I hold the ball in my left hand, spin the green ball thing with my right thumb. Put the powerball in my right hand and start spinning. New High Score: 11, 308 ← Cheers for that!Can do it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Little BUMPJust got mine through yesterday, went a bit mental with using it and seem to have crushed the bones in my fingers so now i can't do the top speed mode thing till they're better. Been having a play with it just trying to beat my maximum number of rpm's in one sitting (function mode 1) with each arm at a time and its really giving my forearm muscles a workout.Just wanted to know really, will this help reduce arm pump while i'm riding natty as i get arm pump quite bad and it pretty much stops my riding day.Also, first day top speed of 11,160 any good?

Tomm Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Also, first day top speed of 11,160 any good?Yeah it's ok. Better than I can do (I think my best is just under 11000) but I have small hands I've lost my Powerball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Doesn't quite beat Yeah, seen him before. Maybe with some practise... I'll try for 12,000 tomorrow, if the hand can cope.Yeah it's ok. Better than I can do (I think my best is just under 11000) but I have small hands I've lost my Powerball Yeah, i read a few topics that the search threw up before i chose to bump this one. Doesn't seem like your generally impressed with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yeah, i read a few topics that the search threw up before i chose to bump this one. Doesn't seem like your generally impressed with them Haha no I think it's great. Pointless, but great. They're marketed as some kind of physiotherapy tool which they blatently aren't. They're just cool toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Haha no I think it's great. Pointless, but great. They're marketed as some kind of physiotherapy tool which they blatently aren't. They're just cool toys I know, i saw all the adverts and videos on the web saying they were designed as a form of genuine excercise and as an aid to improve your abilities in different sports. I don't think thats what they were intentionally designed to do, but i can see how the merits would be there. After trying to get 250 on mode 1 (the one where 100 or 1000 revs is marked as 1) my arms were about dead, the forearms felt like i'd been trying to do a 4 mile long natty line with some monster arm pump going on. So i can see why they'd say that... as i clearly don't usually use those muscles so much.I've also found out i can pat my head and rub my belly every time now with both hands doing either action now. Never used to be able to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_trials Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 They're really fun, Need to get my own rather than using my mates ones Oh and the stuff about them being for sports ect is mainly rebuilding muscle after wrist or shoulder injuries, and i think they really can help with that -Charlie- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 After seeing this quite large bump i thought i tke a go at my bros and i dont even know hoe to start it off anyone care to help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 If you have the string, stick it in the hole thats located in the track in the ball. Wrap it around the track until about an inch or 2 of strong is left showing. Pull the string hard and fast and it will get the ball spinning at a couple of thousand revs.Make sure you press on though before doing it lol, just dont hold the on button or you will erase the high score. To keep it spinning once its started and in your hand, thats just practice lol. Do it by making circular motions with your wrist. big circles to start with, and as it gets faster, bring the circles in. When it gets to about 11k, your wrist is hardly rotating lol.

Krisboats Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Damn I haven't got the string, any other way? I try flicking it but not working Thats how you thumbstart. Its tricky at first but you'll soon get the hang of it. Failing that, just get something to spin the inside bit as fast as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Damn I haven't got the string, any other way? I try flicking it but not working Roll it along the floor, wall, your leg.

hypermobilty Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Big bump Just got a powerball and can't believe how effective they are my arms and hands feel like I've had a major work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Your arms and hands have probably never felt a major work out then; wanking doesn't count as exercise. *universal "I'm making a joke" smiley - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I lost my counter, you can get foot adaptors to exercise your legs with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
