Powerball Neon Pro

I bought my Powerball without ever having used one before, and got it just on word of mouth from others. The concept is simple. Within the ball is a gyroscope, which is started with a length of string which you must wrap around it. Once the string is around the ball, give it a sharp pull and the gyroscope will start spinning quickly. The idea is then to have your palm around the Powerball and using only your wrist, bring the gyroscope up to much higher speeds. You move your hand and wrist in a circular motion and this helps the gyroscope accelerate. It sounds quite simple, and at lower speeds it is. But when you get it spinning at a good rate, you ...  Read the complete review

I bought this Powerball Neon Pro a while back after having a go on one at a friend's house. It is originally designed to treat Repetitive Strain Injuries and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and it can buy used to improve grip and wrist action which is great for golfers, tennis players and the like. I use it once or twice a day and it really doesn't take long. You simply wind it up and then tug on the cord to get the gyroscope spinning. Whilst holding the Powerball down by your side, the idea is to increase its revolutions as much as you can for as long as you can (which is usually about 30 - 50 seconds to start with), by rotating your wrist in a circular motion.

Ive had my powerball for just over a year now. I received it as a gift and was a little sceptical about how effective it would be at first. It is however a fantastic way of building up forearm and hand grip strength. Something which has made an incredible difference with my rock climbing. Those tiny holds that have always eluded me are no longer a problem. The small computer on the powerball alows tells you how fast you have managed to get the gyroscope to spin and the number of rotation as well as keeping track of your records. It is great for keeping you motivated as it becomes more of a game to beat your old achievements than an exercise. Definately worth paying ...  Read the complete review

I got the Powerball Neon Pro as a gift for my husband, but I've probably used it nearly as much as he has, so it's definitely suitable for everyone! The Powerball is a grip training device which can also be used to treat Repetitive Strain Injury and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. To use it, you have to get the rotations going by rotating your wrist with the Powerball in your hand, or you can use the cord provided to give it an initial spin. Once you get it going, you can start to go faster but you have to keep a good rhythm or it just stops working! The faster you go, the brighter the neon glows, and you can keep a note of your highest score and see your individual score ...  Read the complete review
