 What a great piece of tech! August 21, 2008
Long story short..GET ONE OF THESE
it is possibly the most amazing thing i have ever bought!
all you do is pull the ripcord after winding it up, and slowly rotate your hand, slowly speeding up while these amazing LED lights turn your living room into a club :)
once you get the hang of this, (if your persist) you will find you cannot stop...its just so addictive trying to beat other family member's highscores...we had great laughs, seeing as after we saw how great they were, we all got our own ones, so theres blue green and red lights flazing all around our living room as we compete for the highest revs!
i seriosuly advise this, i am a grade 9 drummer, so getting into quite advanced stuff, and i found that after using this for about 2 hours a day (the least i can do without wanting to go back for more!) for about 2 weeks, my drumming became much more precise, controlled and relaxed
i seriosly advise getting one of these, as once you've mastered the flow, you'll want another go!
 Not addictive August 2, 2008
I found the Powerball quite easy to put down and forget all about. It does seem to give the wrist and forearm a kind of workout, but so would squeezing a rubber ball. Or one of those springy grip things that you can find in shops selling exercise equipment.
Great for Idle Hands & Very Addictive July 3, 2008

My motivation to purchase the Power Ball was to improve muscle in my forearms for golf and help top-up my fitness whilst sat on boring audio conferences at work. This leads me to the three clear reasons why you would purchase one of these:
1. it's great for muscle tone in your arms (fingers, wrists, forearm, biceps & triceps)
2. Moreover, it's very addictive and makes you very competitive (even if only with your own previous best) and, importantly
3. It is immensely fun
There have been a couple of poor reviews suggesting that the gyroscope doesn't spin for long, but they simply haven't worked out how to use it -the gyro will spin forever so long as you are turning the Power Ball using your wrist and the correct technique. It does take a few goes to understand, but once you've succeeded it becomes intuitive and extremely fulfilling.
Power Ball is one of my better purchases that, if truth be told, was done on impulse but is now used everyday when I'm around the house or sat at my desk.
One piece of advice is to get the 'Pro' versions that come with the digital counter and functions; it is much more rewarding when you can see your progress and it's worth the few pennies extra.
Therapeutic and somewhat addictive! June 13, 2008

I had one of my fingers broken and sustained some ligament damage late last year, i had been experiencing increasing discomfort and pain in my dominant hand, i assumed that i was destined to give up on cycling and climbing, then i stumbled upon Powerball on the Amazon site.
I have been using it now for about 2 months, wow what a difference, whether it is psychosomatic or not, my hand is almost fully recovered and the overall strength improvement in both hands and forearms is very noticeable.
If you are suffering with hand problems, i would recommend you give it a try, excellent and a bit of fun! I have had to buy another for my wife, to stop her using mine all the time!!!

Top notch June 10, 2008

I would recommend these to anyone they are extremely addictive and very effective.
I dropped mine on the second day which caused an annoying clicking noise but after about 10-15 minutes of use at an ok spin rate that has gone and only comes back every now and again but it is nowhere near as loud so it isn't too bad.
I would definitely go for one that has a counter if you are planning on getting a powerball purely because it just adds to how addictive it is i have this and a standard one but i only ever use this now as i like trying to better my past high scores and just keeping track with the spin rate.
