 I love my powerball! May 11, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I originally bought the Powerball as a cheap alternative to weights, and because I have an unhealthy love of gadgets. I have not been disappointed on either score. It takes a while initially to learn how to keep the ball spinning, but the effort is worthwhile and the instructions provided with the ball are clear and easy to follow. The Powerball's cult following is very useful in this respect, and there are dozens of videos on youtube giving tutorials on everything from flick starting with your thumb to taking the ball apart for maintenance.
I play guitar, and have noticed improvements in stamina since using the Powerball. I'm also soon to be getting back into archery and looking forward to seeing how much difference the ball has made on that front. The website is excellent - there are extensive instructions on how to clean and maintain the ball, and some useful videos showing how to hold the ball in order to work specific muscle groups. I have no complaints about the support available, and this coupled with the warrenty and the build quality fully justifies the price of the product.
In short, I love the powerball and would recommend it to anyone. I'm hoping one of these + a flexi-bar will mean paying for gym membership becomes a thing of the past.

The power ball is a good arm workout but only if your injured or need light training, otherwise the better option is to actually use weights.
 Still a great product March 28, 2008

I already bought the neon signature power ball, which is my favourite power ball model so far... and i wanted to by younger bro a power ball so i picked this one, my only disappointment was that this one never lit up, it would be more attractive if it lights up for him... but thats my mistake the 'pro' models don't have the light features... apart from that it is an awesome product, i even found that the rotors on this one runs more smoother than the neon signature power ball.

Really good fun. Normally my dad is spectical about anything that seems unnecessary and seems in his eyes pointless. However, he used it for about an hour last night and now has a blister on his hand. I still can't get him to admit it was money well spent but he's addicted to using it! The highest score we can get at the moment is around 8-9k rpm but I've only had it a day.
Learning to use it takes a little while but it comes with instructions that are pretty clear. My only advice is that the movement is all in the wrist. Keep your arm totally steady and once you pull the cord rotate your wrist with the bottom of the ball pointing downwards. Keep your arm totally stationary just move your wrist in a circle slowly. Once you get the hang you'll never forget how to do it !
Really fun March 6, 2008

Just bought it and it's great. Works really well and the display showing results of using it really helps. Really good for strengthening arms muscles too.
