    Nicely done, I only managed to get just over 6000 with right hand on maybe 3 or 4 occasions, left hand still sucks - can barely get it over 5000 in 30s

    Because my left hand is a bit weak compared to my right, I can always score considerably more in 30s with my right hand only. In fact my 30s record with one changeover is only just a bit better than my 30s record with my left hand, because of losing quite a few revs during the changeover.

    I always reckoned Akis could do better one-handed. His 7253 record was with a single changeover. (Still miles ahead of anyone else! Bjorn's managed 6811...a full 884 rpm average less.)

    Thank you, hopefully I'll be doing more 6k 30s runs when I get back from Denmark.

    I can manage about 5400 with my left on 30s when I'm running hot.

    Have managed over 15k single handed with each hand on 90s during better sessions before now.

    Will be looking to see if I can get over 17k @90s soon....

    Hey One-Eye

    I think that endurance is the key to any speed record.
    If you do an endurance run, 90s, your arms will be so 'pumped' and
    you'll probably get records thereafter.

    Most people ignore endurance completely But I think good
    endurance is the key to being one of the top powerballers
    there are.

    Well done on breaking 6K 30s. You can chase my endurance records
    if you like, 6229 and 17209, there well in reach for someone with
    such power as you have

    Good luck on your scores

    Pete

    15k on each hand 90s is not bad! I can only do that on my right and look at my endurance score. You should have no problem with 17k once you get a good session going.

    Cheers for the encouragement chaps.

    Still resting for now, but will be going for it after my little Danish break.

    I just tried single hand 90's runs and can only get about 14800 each. So i'm expecting some big things from you in the 90's league. Extractus digitalis from your fundamental orifice

    Like I said, I'm off to Denmark next week and I got loads to do this weekend to get ready plus it's Mother's day this Sunday (don't forget to buy your mom a pressie peeps ).

    So, proper Powerballing will be on ice for a week, although I will be taking a spare PB for my mate in Denmark to get him hooked.

    I reckon he could do good things with it as, although he is a couple of inches shorter than me, he is about twice as wide and his arms are like my legs....

    I'll be back a week Saturday and I'll see about a mini-session sometime over that weekend.

    Will also let you know how my mate in Denmark gets on.

    Can't wait to hear how this guy reacts. It feels good to get other people hooked.
