Powerball - Grip Trainer

The powerball is a handheld gyroscope that uses resistance to strengthen and tone muscles. As you rotate your wrist the ball inside the ball turns in the opposite direction, this creates resistance agianst the way your wrist is rotating. You must increase your speed or maintain to keep the ball moving which uses certain muscles, dependant on the position of the arm, to do this. Dependant on the model, the preices ranged from £10 to £70. I bought and in the first hour that I used it I could not get it to work at all, so I put it back in the box for two weeks. There was something about this revolutionary technology that mad me want to use it and when I did begin ...  Read the complete review

I saw the power ball on amazon.co.uk a few times and was intrigued as to what it was and what it did as it seemed to be popular. I did a bit of research and also went on their official website, www.nsdball.com and found out a lot more about the product. In the end, I decided to purchase the most basic, which wasn't expensive just so I could see what it was all about. The original power ball comes in a small box and is available in different colours including orange, green and blue. The box is bright and colourful and filled with information. 'Get faster. Stronger. Better' is on one side and they claim that the power ball is 'used by sports people across the ...  Read the complete review

The power ball is a fun little gadget that not only trains your hands and arms but also provides amusement for hours upon end. It took me a while to get used to it. You're required to hold it in your hand and rotate it in a circular motion for it to really work (this is outlined in the guide) and this can be tricky at first. Once I mastered the technique, I found that it was a delight to use. After the first day of use, my upper and lower arm muscles actually felt a little sore like I had just come back from the gym (You might not want to overdo it on the first day especially if you haven't done much exercise in a while). My wrists also felt less stiff and a ...  Read the complete review

Possibly due to prolonged computer use, possibly due to other reasons, I lack strength in my hands and wrists (and arms and... well, I lack energy in general, to be truthful!). I'm only in my late 20's, but I seem to lack the ability to open some bottles, cans and cartons. I've never been brilliant at it, but it just seems to be getting worse. I feel like a 90 year old sometimes when I'm trying to open bottles etc! So in a bid to gain some strength in my hands and wrists, I kept my eye out for something to help... Along came the Powerball - A ball-like object, about the size of a tennis ball (though a little heavier), containing a gyroscope. The ...  Read the complete review

Well i got the Powerball Neon Pro which is a mid-range model. Ill be honest im not sure what the differences between all the different powerballs, ecspecially judging that the price ranges between £10 and £70. I think its the difficulty and speed of the ball. Anyway the powerball is a sort of hand held gyroscopic ball. When you get the ball, you wrap the string given in the box around the ball, it will go round about 2 1/2 times, then you quickly pull it out like a Beyblade if anyone remembers what they are and start rotating your wrist. To initially start it you need to rotate your wrist coherently with the ball inside the powerball so ...  Read the complete review
