Top-notch product.

Advantages: Helps aid in recovery of hand strength/wrist mobility, fun, addictive.
Disadvantages: Difficult to put down.

The NSD Amber Pro Screamer Powerball is indeed a great fun item when competing against your friends in a test of power and stamina, but don't let this fool you into thinking that that is its only application. A few months ago, I damaged my wrist in several places after a nasty accident and during the time it took to recover, I had lost a great deal of strength and mobility in my hand and wrist. It was a great worry to me considering my job as a ...
...money. But I began to see a physio who then recommended a very basic gyroscopic ball to aid me in my recovery and it did the job to some degree, but didn't seem to help me after a certain stage of progression. Then I came across the Pro Screamer after researching on the internet and bought it for just £10. But since using it, and having seen the results achieved through its use, I would have paid much more for it. I benefitted because the amount ...

Addicting

Advantages: Fun, Tones, good to compete with friends or family, not too expensive
Disadvantages: Easily break able, but just be careful with it and you wont have any issues.

Well, This product was a result of an over active shopping addiction moment mixed with a get fit attitude. Ive suffered lots of injured muscles due to over using the powerball and pushing myself too far, but I still cant put it down! My muscles have defiently strengthened but not grown!, so if your looking for a muscle builder Look away now!, If your looking for something to tone and strengthen then honestly its worth the money. Its fun to play ...
...to beat my score (Keep dreaming!) excellent product. but I must mention they are easily breakable, DO NOT DROP! its hard not to when its slowing down can be abit difficuly to get a good grip on it, but concentrate and you wont drop it, trick is to grab it with both hands as soon as you have a good grip when its slowing as it does shake. but due to this you also develope a good grip. Also abit of a pain to get started on your first try, think of ...

NSD Powerball

Advantages: it's fun, good muscle training, very addictive
Disadvantages: sometimes noisy, sensitive insides

I've got the NSD Powerball 250 Hz about a year ago and it's been one of the best toys I've ever had! You can buy them online or in any bigger sports or toyshop, they come in several variants, there are two major competitors - Powerball The Original and NSD Powerball, my review is about the latter. -Construction- Powerball is a ballanced wheel (a gyroscope) consisting of 2 main parts - inner ball that rotates around its axis which is set in a hollow ...
...a tight-fit rubber band with NSD Powerbal logo on it. The inner ball has a groove into which a cord's inserted, wrapped around the ball and by pulling it loose quickly you get the ball moving. It's possible and also recommended to open your powerball, to check how it's made and also to clean it once in a while. I had hard time opening it because that needs really strong arms as you're supposed to press on its sides until they fall apart, or you can ...

Powerball 250GHZ: Full arm workout in the palm of your hand!

Advantages: Strengthens your arm and is good fun
Disadvantages: Can rub on your fingers. Loud

The powerball 250ghz gyro is a great exercise tool for strengthening, toning or rehabilitating your wrist, forearms, upper arm and shoulder. The gyroscopic motion is solely decided by yourself so you can choose whether to do slow rehabilitation excercises after an injury or a muslce pumping workout with speeds of 16000rpm and higher. The high force of the gyro really causes the ball to sling some momentum from side to side so you really need to grip ...
...one of the rules not to do as the heavy motor damages the casing which is a little inconvenient considering it tends to squirm uncontrollably. When using mine for a long period of time, I have found that it really has pumped my forearm muscles, however- the motion can cause the outer casing to rub on your fingers which are like small blisters but this is down to the way you hold it and in general, the ball is quite comfy in your hand. One other downside ...

A great starter ball...

Advantages: Cheap, addictive and actually works
Disadvantages: Can break easily if dropped and is loud when spun quickly

This was the first powerball i purchased and i found it to be very good. i was a little sceptical about it but after a few days of using the product for about an hour a day, a little bit at a time, the product did what it said on the tin and improved strength in both arms. This gave more definition to both arms and improved my squash playing, climbing and guitar playing. Overall i have found this product to be very good and oddly addictive. One ...
...with has the rpm counter incorporated as this adds an extra bit of fun to the product and can also help you in tracking progress. The only problems i encountered was that after a while it started to squeak when i was spinning it at low speeds, but this went away after i sped it up a bit. One last comment, when spun quickly the powerball can become quite loud and get quite annoying as i found when doing it once in front of the tv. ...
