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

Fun, but choose the Neon Pro instead if you want the scoring modes
It's a neat toy and works well. You can really feel it fighting your grip. It's also a wonderful gimmick, if not so practical.

The display is hard to use. I've seen videos of people who've obviously got the knack of it and can hold it out and read off their score, but it will take some time to get this. If you score too low then you see text instead of a number. Even if/when I learn to use it, anyone I give it to would not be able to.

The ones with the LCDs will be much easier to use. They also have more modes. Techno has simple speed mode and 30 second strength mode and you switch them by spinning at the right speed (6000 rpm or one red dot spinning round) for the right time (18 seconds) and watching to try to work out which lights are showing (blue flashing). On the LCD ones it's a button press to select mode and you know you can always see the scores.

So the LCD ones are easier to use, and if you want flashing lights the Neon ones give you that. I wonder how much energy they take from the rotor and if that's significant for those trying for high scores.

Concerning the comment about letting it dangle: The instructions tell you to keep hold otherwise you'll wear it out quicker. I think it's noisier when dangling so wonder how practical this advice is.

Couldn't be easier!
I was intrigued by an Amazon email, had a look around on the web and decided to give it a try. Fortunatly I went straight for the Powerball Signature series with the led readout on the top. (The flashing light also gave it some appeal!)
Such a simple workout and already my Squash backhand is improving. With the readout on the top you are always trying to better yourself. (It also is great fun in competition with a competative son).
Particularly with racket sports this is a fun way of strenghtening your grip, through your wrists, and up to your shoulder.
Todate I've ordered 5 more for other people who are now enjoying the workout, and competition, of this amazing...toy!

Easy when you know how!
I was looking for some way to exercise while sitting in the office all day and decided to buy this little gem after reading the reviews below. It's a bit tricky when you start but you quickly get the 'feel' for it and when you do its great fun!!! Really works the arms and hand muscles which will hopefully improve my tennis game.
As the other reviewers mention, the magic readout is tricky to see BUT here is the answer!!
TIP: connect the wrist strap (included in the box) and when you finish 'spinning' let the powerball dangle freely from the cord on your wrist. Your score will now be really easy to see on the rotor!! Enjoy!
