How hard do you grip you powerball?

[Installed]

Yes its some kind of grip substance that makes some white sticky substance on the ball. Lots of other powerballers use it too, ones that I can think of would be Bjorn Helte and Jarkko Pietelia. I have some pine tar spray that works well, but it smells awful!

Well as for me,I don't use any substance to help with my grip. I juat make sure that my Powerball are clean from any oil or sweat from the previous session. I grip pretty strong as I am physically smaller from you westerners(I am Malaysian). The more faster it spin, the stronger I will grip..hehe...by the way I just got my Metal Powerball a couple days ago & it was amazing, much more heavier and smooth than my previous 250Hz Blue Pro...Good job NSD!!!!!

When i first started (earlier today :P), i couldnt keep hold of the ball even gripping it as hard as possible, but now, i grip it just as hard, and can control it, but im guessing that at 15000rpm, even holding onto it for your life isnt enough to keep control of it???

I grip my powerball as hard as possible most times, thats probably the main reason for the majority of my blisters!

I've never tried surgrip what is it? Like a spray that enables more grip Is it white in colour because i saw on "Wild Thunders" ball that it was all white at the bottom.

Yes Pete, I bought one of this a few weeks ago and I improve a lot my scores..., I improve like 400 rvs with my 250Hz (13.400 most of time to 13.8**) that liquid put your hands more dry and for that reason your scores improves a lot ( the P.b. and hands turns a little white).

I do not use any grip material. And most of the times I even do not clean my hands nor the powerball. Most of the times I use a towel or just my pants to wipe of the sweat (because my hands tend to be quite sweaty during powerballing). Just wondering how much difference all that would make if I would clean the powerball and my hands better.

HUGE difference, trust me. I can't believe you are struggling with sweaty hands.

I think I am not catching what you are saying. You can't believe that I have sweaty hands or you can't believe that I did not find proper ways to handle them? If so, what do you suggest (I never see you using magnesium powder or some other grip material).

Or maybe I do not understand all this is because it's Sunday, 10:37pm and I am just tired?

Most people get sweaty hands, this is not hard to believe. But just wiping them on your pants won't do any good. Sometimes I have to wash my hands every two runs to ensure a flawless grip. Grip material may be helpful but I try to avoid it as it causes blisters more easily and the powerball becomes a mess.

Mmm...now that we have reached Monday evening I do understand your point. I think I should seriously consider taking up your advice as there is nothing I would like more than beating Adrenaline's scores .
