Si-man Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 You dont have to use the string to spin it you know. Get the powerball, and put your thumb on the outside of the spinning part, then with a quick flick across the ball, it should start spinning. Then all you need to do is keep up the momentum. The string has 2 plastic bits on either end (stick some superglue on the so they dont pull off) that fit into a hole in the ball, which you then wrap around and use it as a pull start Send us a PM if you dont understand what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Or you can roll it along the floor Managed to lose both my strings the day I got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 You could just contact the guys at powerballs.com - they send strings out for free. To be honest though, you're better off learning to finger start it, I haven't used a string for about 5/6 weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQuiT-man Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I got a powerball yesterday, but I think it might be a bit dodgy..Do all of yours make a slight grinding sound sometimes when you have started it and are trying to get it up to speed? A sorta plastic-on-plastic slipping sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
