Manufacturer's product description
The 250Hz Amber Regular Screamer Powerball is the little brother of the 250Hz Amber Pro Screamer Powerball. This regular version of the revolutionary gyroball offers the same exacting high standards and speed performance but ships without the on board computer (rpm counter) which can be added at a later date if required. The same thorough workout is achieved on your arms and wrists therefore and at a very affordable price. The 250Hz Screamer models have the added bonus of a series of precision-drilled holes around the rotor surface to produce a satisfying whine even at lower speeds. The 250 Hz Powerballs (Pro and Regular) are the fastest in the range given they are slightly lighter as they do not have the added weight of the LED lights as with the Neon range. The 250Hz Regular Screamer Powerball Models come in either Blue or Amber Colour All Powerballs come complete with full instructions, 2 starter cords and a unique lifetime warranty Fitness-Force.com Exclusive: We also supply this Power Ball with a Free Powerball DVD & Wrist Strap worth £3.98. The Powerball DVD provides you with exercise routines, Powerball film clips, starting tutorials and the full selection of World Speed Records. The Free Wrist Strap will keep your Powerball safe and prevent the Powerball falling to the ground if you ever lose your grip. Fitness-Force Recommendation: Ideal for Rehabilitation and Fitness Workouts & Strength Building - the noise generated from the screamer version is not to everyone''s taste.
Advantages: it's fun, good muscle training, very addictive Disadvantages: sometimes noisy, sensitive insides
...I've got the NSDPowerball 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 NSDPowerball, 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 globe that misses its bottom part. The globe's made of two parts that click into eachother and the join line is hidden under 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...

Advantages: Helps aid in recovery of hand strength/wrist mobility, fun, addictive. Disadvantages: Difficult to put down.
...The NSDAmber Pro ScreamerPowerball 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 tree surgeon and my reliance on my hands to earn 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...

Advantages: Fun, Great exercise, Addictive! Disadvantages: Takes a while to get used to.
...and are looking for a rehabilitation device, because of the Powerball only being able to exert the amount of force that the user puts into it. Or it can be used by someone like me, as an addictive and fun gadget, while making you feel good for using it as you can feel it exercising your arm.
The different models
The NSDPowerball comes in an array of different model versions depending on you budget and the look or performance you want from it. As I have only tried the NSDPowerball Techno I have used some the information and features of the other models (shown below) from the official NSDPowerball website.

Well have had this gadget for a few months now and am still using it regularly. Once you have got the hang of starting it, either with your thumb or the string provided, it can be quite an enjoying workout, using it for 10 minutes you will start to feel more
