Gyro balls?

[cheese]

I was talking to my physio and he said that they are the best thing to build forearm strength. I found them in China for about $7.50usd. I’ve got one coming so I’ll let you know what they are like.

[cheese]

Oh no, I just realised that starting a thread with the word balls in it is likely to start all sorts of stupid comments....

I have had one since my first scaphoid break. Great things, they wear out after a while though. Mine is going that way. After my wrist breaks (3 in total) they have been great in getting some muscle tone back. They are also good in simulating the forces etc your forearms get put under when track racing/doing mx. That reminds me, I need to get mine back out and do a few rounds.

USD$7.50 seems a good deal. On TM they start at $49 and on http://www.powerballs.co.nz/ they go up to as high as $350.
Did you order more than 1 in?

I had one and used it for awhile. They sure give you mean arm pump. Mine now worn out and not so smooth.

I know a better way to improve forearm strength but it would require you to get used to wanking with your left arm.

[B0000M]

theyre probably good, but they are also annoying. wanking will do the same thing, tbh i think you're better off spending more time on the bike if you're getting muscle issues. or if you cant get on that bike get out on your mountain bike in the reserves around your house

I've found regular masturbation does the same thing. I have to use both hands. Fugg ima wanka :o

[vazza]

Can you get me one!!! :D?

ive found squeezing a tennis ball is pretty effective.

i found you get what you pay for.
i had a cheapish TM one and it wore out pretty fast then i got a good one and it has lasted real good.
just make sure you keep it clean.
to open my one you have to stand on it while the casing joins are vertical.
then i clean it with meths on cotton buds.
lasted for ages.
it took me a bit to get the thing started but now it piss easy.
it seems stupid but i found the slower i tried to make it go the faster the gyro worked.

[soundbeltfarm]

has it got a rpm meter?
they are pretty good on the piss for skulling games .

[cheese]

Yeah I've got a Powerball with rev counter. Great for RSI if you type a lot.

Thanks for the tips on cleaning your balls.
But I don't think I have the balls to stand on mine like you did.

Some guy was trying to sell them to me at Big Boys Toys... can't remember the price but they were pretty damn cheap... $24 springs to mind?

[Reckless]

Average price on Trade me was about 15 bucks I think. $7.50 was the cheapest I saw sell. Gr8-ball I think they where???

yeh i got one of those a while back. Has a little magnet in it to make it light up, but they dont glue it on very well so it getts pulled into the other bits and slows it down, gotta jam bit of wire into it every time you wanna go, string brock as well so using some transformer wiring with it now. I probly just got a less than average one, but it happens often enough that the guy knew exactly what the problem was when i emailed him.

They are pretty good for forearm exercises, get the arm-pump after a few minutes of use, and they provide a lot of force once they get going, pity im still too unco-ordidnated to get it to run in my left hand :pinch:
