Product Description
The ball comes alive with forces, furiously thrashing and jerking as your arm and wrist try to keep it in control, spinning it faster and faster until you have it up to almost 15,000rpm and it's exerting about 40lbs of pressure on your limbs at a speed of 250 revolutions per second - no batteries, just pure gyroscopic power - the fastest human propelled device ever created! This is a great Product for all types of martial arts especially Judo where hands on grip is required!!!

 Basic.......... September 7, 2010
Tony Mc
If your after a power ball that lights up, dont buy this one. It will do the same job as any other power ball, but it does not light up and doesent have a rotation counter. If your after the basic mechanics this is good value, but I bought this for my son, for the lights in a dark room effect and was not a happy bunny.. If you want a good one then spend the extra coin..
 powerball August 17, 2010
K. grove (pease pottage,UK)
I find the Powerball difficult to operate and would not have bought it if I had previously known how difficult it would be. This might be an age thing as my daughter and son-in-law don't have a problem with it but my friends and I do [ I am 66 ]. The price is probably about right, I know there are far more expensive ones on the market and can't see how this type of object can warrant those sort of prices.
 Very addictive and results immediately August 13, 2010
sweetnativewoman (Kent, England)
I never heard of one these until last week. We bought one on Sunday and used it right away. It was easy to get it started with the string for me. My husband can start it with his thumb. We even had my husband's parents try it as his mum has weak elbows. She could feel the difference after one use. It takes a little bit to get a technique down, but once you do, you will notice the difference.
The recommended use for each arm is 5-7 minutes, but it is very hard to limit it to that. It is very very addictive. When my husband is playing with the ball, I can't hardly wait my turn. lol I've used it everyday since Sunday and I love how it works my muscles. I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and I am hoping this will help define my arms. We definitely won't stop using it!
Can really notice the power August 8, 2010
Jennifer Marie Leighfield (Malaga, Spain)
Just got this recently for everyone in my family to use.
It's a little difficult to get it to rotate properly at first, but once you get it right, it's great and you can really feel the resistance.
The one thing I would complain about is that I find it a bit big, and I would think a lot of women will, to comfortably hold when the rotor really gets going.
Apart from that, great!
Tough work-out! August 7, 2010
D. Van Der Mijde (The Netherlands)
I have my powerball for a couple of years now. I must say it's an excellent work-out tool.
Not only that, it's low impact and you can make the excercises as mild or as tough as you like!
The LED lights keeps this thing interesting because the harder you spin it the brighter it gets.
So if you're a bit competetive you try to let it shine brighter each time you use it.
As a bonus side effect it prevents RSI or any strain injury, it does the blood circulation a world of good,
and gets the muscles really warmed up before sports. It doesn't only train your hand and arm, holding it in different angles it also trains you shoulders, deltoids, and some of the muscles indirectly in the back and side area. (best to stand up straight for that.)
While standing straight you also indirectly train your balance if you train with a stretched out arm, either sideways or infront of you. The downsides are: tough to really get it spinning the first few times, the start string gets lost easily, almost impossible to start without the string, doesn't come with a wrist strap so when you first start working the ball be sure to have a tight grip on it or you will lose a window! You can easily get it to spin to heavy if you use it for the first couple of times, making the excercise way to tough at first, for that you need to spend some time to gain control of the ball. All in all when you get the hang of it it's fun and easy to do and it only takes 5 to 10 minutes a day to get really good results. All the gear at the local gym to get those arm muscles in shape are a waste of time and money compared to this little plastic gyroscopic ball. This trains your muscles in a fraction of the costs of a gym subscription! I love my power ball and I'll buy a new one if my old one breaks!
