Amazing CS, confirm email @ 11:04, despatch email @ 11:44, lets hope the courier is just as fast

Re: Powerball
 

:hyper: It's arrived :D

Later tonight I'm going to have a play with it. Need to work out where the batteries go first though :erm:

Re: Powerball
 

Finally given in, and ordered one last night...

Re: Powerball
 

I couldn't wait :D

I can see it's going to take some effort - I can't get my wrist to move in sync with the ball, so it just knocks a great deal and stops. That said, my wrist is aching after two attempts :dozey: Can't for the life of me get the finger flick thing to make it start - have to use the cord. I managed 19 :blush:

Re: Powerball
 

they seem borked to me too... if i go to 'page info' then 'media' i can save them though

i'd hazard a guess that you're trying to move it too fast... at cord starting speed you should be moving in pretty slow circles, less than twice a second

you can feel yourself 'pushing' it round f youre doing it right!

Re: Powerball
 

Slower wrist action huh. I'll be an ickle angel and not post something filthy :angel: There's a change in the Force that suggests a mod is nearby :erm: :D I can see this is going to take some doing. It took me ages to learn how to turn a steering wheel :mis: I'm one of those that needs instant results.

Re: Powerball
 

...after i was sooooo careful to avoid innuendo :p: some people eh ;)

Re: Powerball
 

Take your time, build up to it gently, you'll get there in the end.

Just don't try to run before you can walk.

When you do get there don't be too eager to give yourself a pat on the back, wait until you've really mastered it before telling yourself well done.....

After all, there's nothing worse than premature congratulations.....

Re: Powerball
 

:rolleyes: :D


I might chuck it in the washer on spin only and post the result. Give Rammy a challenge :devsmoke:

Re: Powerball
 

It's more technique than anything, you need to get the wrist action right if you want to acieve the desired results. Starting slow as already stated will help build your endurance up so that you can achieve a better output :D

Re: Powerball
 

I've now read the back page of the instuction sheet :dozey: And discovered that 19 is actually 1900, so I feel happier :) 3rd attempt I managed to wrapped the starter cord round the motor and LEDs - nearly ripped an LED off :disturbd: Trust me to break the damn thing before I've started. Managed to free it though and it still works. Now upto 2850. It's tries to move elliptically - bit of a struggle to keep a fluid, circular wrist action. Is it supposed to do that or is it off-balance?

Re: Powerball
 

that means youve done 1900 revolutions so far. fress 'fcn' twice to get it to display your max speed.
ts probably ok, just youre getting used to it!

Re: Powerball
 

Ah :dozey:

Bloody wrist aches :cry:

Re: Powerball
 

then its working! ;)
