pain in thumb

[phil_biker]

just got my powerball today and so far my highest score is 9040 when the ball gets to higher revs (anyting over 8k for me) i gip harder and harder and my thumb kind of slips gradualy upwards, i then have to stop and re ajust my grip. also my thumb is hurtung on the muscles on the palm sideof my hand, is this a sign i am not using the correct grip and can you recomend me something that will stop it from sliping

thanks, phil

The thumb wandering of, is can be because of a "week" muscle in your hand. This will stop, when you get used to use the PB, and your muscles are getting stronger. The pain is normal at this time, you have to let your hand get used to this kind of "work".

a tip to first time powerballers is to wash ur hands when they get sweaty, which is often for me, it will remove any grease and enhance grip

another one if u have any blister plasters they really help with grip and comfort

Moral: Do not use the powerball if you have your hand hurt

That's right!

It is better to spend several weeks of rest... that's what I did, and on my return I smashed my Metal record very easily.

REST is a MUST!


Pako.
