Powerball!

Today my workmate (who does the exact same job i do) brought his brand new Powerball to work (we were already familiar with them as another workmate has one), after only using it for a bit I quickly realised it would help with the pains I was experiencing in my hands wrist and arm while working.

So picked one up after work from Hangdog (and met the currently ranked 4th in NZ working there!)

Many people on here have suggested these Powerballs to people who get sore wrists when they first start out riding, I always figured "yea right, not for that price" but I have to admit - they are 100% right, it will help alot!

Will do an update after I have been using it for a week or so including any effects on my riding

err what do you do for a job that gives you a sore wrist and arm.......

[Mole_C]

Cheers Wasp, i might try one of these as well. My wrists are stuffed from work this summer

[Grumpy]

I used one to help with my pyhsio when recovering from a badely broken wrist. Brilliant. Really helped with my rehab.

[Wasp]

oh yea, forgot to mention:

Current High Score:

10,432 RPM

[bobsmith]

sounds like it's just what I need... Where's the best place to get it from?

[riffer]

Dude, its not about the RPM.

To get the proper benefit, you need to go for endurance.

My physio recommended I get one when I bust my scaphoid. It's done wonders for my wrists.

Thoroughly recommended, but getting a high rpm is only going to help you wank faster.

Here's where you can get them.

[Wasp]

well i've been using it almost non stop since i got home, the reason I payed more for the rev counter version is because of my competitave nature - it will hold my attention alot more

more accurately, there is a list of SHOPS that stock them, so no buying on line with credit card; http://www.actionball.co.nz/stockists.html

oh yea, back to the endurance thing; can i hurt myself by going too hard for too long?

[Drum]

Kinda looks like power-wanking!

oh yea, forgot to mention:

Current High Score:

10,432 RPM

Pffft, 12280 was my best before someone broke the display.

Thanks Wasp, looks quite good. Might have to look at getting one of those when I'm back in New Zealand, help strengthen the old wrists up. They've never been very good, but I never get around to doing the exercises I'm supposed to. This little invention would make it easy.

[dnos]

these things look pretty cool, seen them on trademe before but never got round to checking them out properly.
Warning to all - the ones on trademe are over priced compared to that website.

Might go play with one at lunch time in the shop.

Used one at physio yesterday - brilliant little thing!

[Beemer]

I must confess I'd never seen or heard of them before but they look pretty good. I've had trouble with my wrists on and off since I became a journalist and like Deviant Esq I never remember to do the exercises the physio gives me - actually, to be truthful - I can't be arsed!

I might check one out - which ones are the best?

[bistard]

I have had a version of one of these for years now (gyroball)
I smashed my right wrist to pieces at manfeild & the surgeon said I would never get full use back,well We showed him!!
He was so impressed with amount of movement I got back he wanted to know how & when I showed him the Gyro ball,he wanted to show his staff
Needless to say they are fantastic,mine is abit clagged out now & is had to start off,should get a new one
