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.

The NSDpowerball
Background
The original NSDpowerball is believed to have been designed for weightless workouts in space by NASA, however I can’t verify if this is true.
Although I do know it works and it works well, it is designed for exercise, therapy and sport and can be quit addictive.

The finely tuned gyroscope within the ball creates force up to 40 kg but can be used for repetition or therapy at moderate speeds.
Therefore this ball is unique in its durability, and effects, its is also proposed and I can see why that people in certain careers such as sports like tennis badminton cricket etc plus musicians using guitars and drums would find the benefits astounding.
Where to buy and prices ...

Advantages: Addictive, fitness-orientated fun Disadvantages: Can become slippery with extended use
I was bought the NSDpowerball as a present for a birthday, unknowing of what it did I cautiously followed the instructions and began, and I haven't stopped!
This product is fun, addicitve and it helps tone your arm and coupled with the additional revolutions counter, you can show off you best score to everyone.
Although this product is great, it does have a few downfalls. initially, I picked up the rotational technique immediately, however, after experiance with others, no matter how much people try, they have not been able to get it going. Also the grip around the outside and the powerball in general can become slippery with extended use because of the palms of your hands becoming sweaty.
In conclusion, I believe anyone who sees a powerball should buy one purely to try. For a relatively cheap basic model price, so much ...
