Rossi Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Rotate your wrist only, not your whole b*****d arm. Most of all, jus practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Start off slower. Read the instructions though, I'm pretty sure everyone else managed to work it out on their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Rotate your wrist only, not your whole b*****d arm. Most of all, jus practice. Yeah it's all in the wrist. You hole arm shouldn't move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanie-b Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 PLEASE READI think i've messed up the powerball, The core has suddenly started to rotate when i'm winding it up, And it no longer gathers speed, I'm guessing this is due to the middle moving.Anyone else had this problem?Think I should send it back?

deanie-b Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Sure JtWhen the powerball first arrives, The core that you wind the rip cord around tends to be very nice and firm, And not move when your winding the cord around it = Nice Mine has just started becoming a bit loose probably from over-use today (first day of having it).That ok?

It moves in and out very slightly, which is normal. And it spins in two dimentions - like a standard giroscope. I know it's hard to explain. But i still don't get what you thinks wrong with yours.

Si-man Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Take it apart and have a look inside to see if anything has moved about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanie-b Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 but I am a cock.Even if you are, you shouldn't admit it I just tightened the screws on the side of the body, that seems to have made it feel a bit better Jt:I preferred it when the core didn't move as easily, That's all I know how they work, Just prefer it new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
