...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 globe that misses its bottom part.
