When i first got my Powerball, i thought to myself "Its to hard" but after practicing different techniques i have realized how easy it is. Its so addictive, well worth the 15 quid i payed for it from play.com! Strengthens your wrist, and lots of fun. The score system on the Powerball neon pro makes it even more addictive, as you can compete against friends and family. After showing my Dad how to use it he couldn't put it down and he kept trying to beat my score. You don't need to be strong to get a good score with a powerball, its mainly about the technique that you use. When scores of over 10000 are reached and sustained, your whole arm gets stronger. Don't go overboard with it, i used it so much on the first day i got it that when i woke up the next day i could hardly move my arm. The power it has for the size of it is unbelievable! MUST BUY!!
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Its about the size of a tennis ball but a little bit heavier, its hard to explain the technique to use, but i just kept trying different ways until i got it perfect. One downside is that i got blisters from it, but that was probably because i was using it too much when i first got it.

Powerball is the world's most powerful hand gyroscope, generating speeds of over 16,000 ... more
rpm! Simply by starting up the Powerball in your hand and rotating your wrist faster you can develop incredible speeds and increase your strength. Powerball is seriously addictive for all ages, making it ideal for play, exercise, or fun competitions. Powerball is a dynamic and completely revolutionary new gyroscope that literally explodes with mind-numbing torque and inertia once you activate its internal rotor. It's about the same size as a tennis ball and weighs just a little more, but take a Powerball in your hand, set that rotor in motion with the cord provided (or use your finger when you get used to it) and you'll experience an extraordinary sensation. Powerball slowly comes alive with gyroscopic force - a sublime yet pleasant resistance to your movement which is transmitted directly into your wrist and arms and which provides soothing, non impact rehabilitation at these lower speeds. Bring your new Powerball up to10,000rpm, the forces are now much stronger, much more vibrant. Higher! Take it right up to an unbelievable 15,000rpm at which point it's exerting almost 40lbs of pressure on your limbs and is travelling at nearly 250 revolutions per second. No batteries, no motor, just pure gyroscopic power Not suitable for Children Under 14yrs
