Powerball is the world's most powerful handgyroscope, 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 to 10,000rpm, 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

Advantages: Simple to use, very durable, looks and feels great Disadvantages: Dont lose the string!
The Powerball 250HZ Blue is one of the most compact, simple, and fun machines I’ve used throughout most of my life. I first saw it when a friend was using it and realised after having a go that it was just so much fun!
The Powerball does not only just rotate and spin giving you a good workout, it can record the maximum number of revolutions a minute to give you a personal best to keep aiming to top, to a strength measurer!
...just put the string in, pull hard and begin rotating. But as you may know, or possibly will know, the ball does require a little bit of technique to hit the high revolutions like spinning it in the right direction at the right time and speed, but all this you work out for yourself through feel, and time. Its hard work and not for the lazy (a bit like me) but don’t give up if your non-normal arm can spin this for a maximum of 10 seconds, you ... more

Learning to use it took no time at all, just put the string in, pull hard and begin rotating. But as you may know, or possibly will know, the ball does require a little bit of technique to hit the high revolutions like spinning it in the right direction at the right time and speed, but all this you work out for yourself through feel, and time. Its hard work and not for the lazy (a bit like me) but don’t give up if your non-normal arm can spin this for a maximum of 10 seconds, you will build up your stamina.
A few little pointers I learned from experience that you should always use your string to start the ball (so don’t lose the string!) because using the floor, or clothing can get little bits caught inside the cage. Also, the rubber grip along the outside is not firmly fixed, it sits in a small crevice meaning that if your going for a long a hard workout, it does sometimes come undone, but it needs to be removable to enable the owner to get inside the cage if they need to fix it, or clean it. Its also quite quiet if your using it when watching a film, or reading a book, but I don't think it would go down all too well if your using it whilst with company.
Overall I have nothing to criticise about in the Powerball, all of its functions are outstanding, the ball itself is durable (in case one accidently loses grip of it when trying to top a high score), and it looks good especially with the lights. So if you are looking for a machine to help tone up those forearms, strengthen the wrists for sports, help you during physiotherapy, or even just to use for fun, this is great.. simply great!
Advantages: Fun, Great exercise, Addictive! Disadvantages: Takes a while to get used to.
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.
