Powerball
 

I am suffering from Tennis/golfers elbow.

I spoke to Ramrod who recommended one of these

Got it today ....

You can really feel it working, but for those others out there that have them, what is the highest spin you have recorded.

I have just got 9989, and my arms are aching ... LOL

need to increase your wrist strength/stamina do u? ;)

Re: Powerball
 

Apparently so ....

Must admit though .... it really seems to hit the "Tennis Elbow" spot ...

I'm sure there are others who have suffered with this ... it's bloody painful. :(

Re: Powerball
 

my left wrist is quite sore, due to excessive 'mousing' - I try to use my right hand at work & the left at home, in order to spread the load, but the left has been working harder, lately - it might be worth giving one of those a go, it certainly looks good - thanks for the info Si (and Ramrod ) :tu:

Re: Powerball
 

I used to find that my wrist got quite sore (waits for Nugget to join the thread.. :) ) what with all the mousing I did, but then I moved over to a tracker ball, which has helped no end - I've been using one for about 4 years now, and don't have any dull aches in my wrist anymore

Re: Powerball
 

I have thought about that - however the thing I liked about the description of the powerball, was that as well as being therapeutic, it also strengthens the joints, etc, thereby helping to prevent re-occurance.

Thanks, though :tu:

About 75% of the posts in this thread were off topic. I have therefore done some serious pruning. Can we try to keep our threads on topic please, everybody is free to start a new thread to discuss ... well, whatever you want really. There's no need to hijack existing ones. :)

Re: Powerball
 

Do you have to exercise both hands? Well you wouldn't want to end up looking like a fiddler crab, would you? Or is it just the affected limb that needs exersice? :shrug:

Re: Powerball
 

75% :erm: Personal opinion over rules peoples enjoyment? why not prune post 2 then?

Re: Powerball
 

Just ordered 2 neon jobbies, one for me and one for my brother... I'm hoping to improve strength for basketball, whereas my brother is into rock climbing and mountain biking both of which would be prime targets for this product... I'll let you lot know how we get on.

Obviously, competing against my brother for a highscore will be a vastly secondary reason for buying these ;) :D

Re: Powerball
 

its worth using both hands, will probably improve coordination too!

Re: Powerball
 

You may as well excersise both........

Re: Powerball
 

Hehe, I can see a challenge emerging here... looks like my target is 13,000 in the first week of ownership... watch this space ;)

I certainly hope this doesn't get as obsessive as the arcade for me, I might end up in casualty :D

Re: Powerball
 

I found that breaking the 12000 barrier was difficult enough.........13000 is a little optimistic, especially in the first week!

Who do you sue if it rips your arm off?
