Manufacturer's Description
Powerball is the world's most powerful hand gyroscope, generating speeds of over 16,000 rpm! Simply by starting up the Powerball in your hand and rotating your wrist faster you can develop incredible speeds and increase your strength. Powerball is seriously addictive for all ages, making it ideal for play, exercise, or fun competitions.

Powerball is a dynamic and completely revolutionary new gyroscope that literally explodes with mind-numbing torque and inertia once you activate its internal rotor.

It's about the same size as a tennis ball and weighs just a little more, but take a Powerball in your hand, set that rotor in motion with the cord provided (or use your finger when you get used to it) and you'll experience an extraordinary sensation. Powerball slowly comes alive with gyroscopic force - a sublime yet pleasant resistance to your movement which is transmitted directly into your wrist and arms and which provides soothing, non impact rehabilitation at these lower speeds.

Bring your new Powerball up to 10,000rpm, the forces are now much stronger, much more vibrant. Higher! Take it right up to an unbelievable 15,000rpm at which point it's exerting almost 40lbs of pressure on your limbs and is travelling at nearly 250 revolutions per second. No batteries, no motor, just pure gyroscopic power

Not suitable for Children Under 14yrs

My 1st Power Ball...
I've heard so much about these Power Balls and actually was amazed how much people are speaking so good of them. So, I decided to get one and see what it's all about. After searching for I while I chose the Techno because it looks fun and has a neat ball-surface-display. As soon as I got it, it took me a while to get it started properly. After I did though, it was really amazing, the feeling of the resistance building up is phenomenal. I was addicted to it over night. I could feel my forearms working with the power building into the ball, the burning in your forearm muscles feels great when you're done.

Two disappointments about it though. One, the string starting thing is limiting somehow. You can lose it or break it or whatever. It should have a simpler starting technique or a built-in one. I've seen many tutorials on starting the Power Ball with your thumb, didn't work for me. Two, the score reading is tricky and takes some practice to master, currently I'm hanging the ball from the strap to properly see the reading. I'm still practicing on getting a reading with the ball in my hand.

Overall, it's a really really intersting product. Simple, effective, and soooo addictive. I might even purchase another one (different model) because it really works. Nice gadget for simple effective exercising.

Good but beware of blisters
Having read previous reviews, I decided to purchase a powerball. It took a few goes to get the hang of it, but once I got it going it does exactly what it says on the tin. The only downside so far is that after a few goes on the first day, I developed a painful blister on the inside of my little finger where I had been gripping the ball, so have not really used it since as it's still sore. Any other users had this problem?
Perhaps it should come with a pair of gloves.

Could be better?
As a powerball, this works perfectly, the mechanism etc.
However, the scoring system is tricky to work, and takes practice to get at. It looks cool, but you should buy a powerball with a computer.
