Installed's Scores

I was trying your two handed technique on the metal the other day. I'm kind of getting the hang of it got up to 9500 the it "bit" me twice once left hand once right damn those thing pack a punch. Kind of scared me off for a while. I still can't hellp but feel that one hand is doing most of the work while the other just tags along for the ride.

I just noticed "9500 on the metal", thats really pretty good using that technique - almost the best I've heard of anyone else doing. (Edouard got upper 12k on the 250hz with it) But you definitely want to watch those fingers. The way I hold it kind of locks my fingers mostly on the far side of the ball(with the rotor facing upwards).

I would say that my right hand does 60-70% of the work... it actually feels like my left is just tagging along for the ride, but it definitely does much more than that.

I had a very interesting session last night. I had originally planned to do no powerballing at all that day since my arms and fingers hurt after 3 days straight of record attempts. So I decided to just lift weights to work my body and upper arms, and go easy on the forearms and hands. After maybe a half hour of pretty hard work, I went to go cool down at low speeds with the metal. But that felt suprisingly easy, so I tried a few speed runs. Although they werent that great, I was amazed that I had the strength to even get over 11k. (the best was 11700+)

Then I decided to give the plastic a try. First thing I got was this. Using both hands and actually no Ed Tech at all! (I'm coming for you Pete!)


Afterwards, I did a TON of speed runs, switching speed and dual run because I found that right after doing a really high speed run with both hands, my coordination for dual run was much better.
Eventually, I managed an awesome 26k! And the 13514 is actually a new right-handed speed score!


Well unfortunately thats all the records I achieved... the reason I say unfortunately is because this is seriously the the hottest hot mode I have ever had. So where are my 14k speed scores you might ask? Out of all FOUR of them... not one registered.

Hey Installed

Nice session you had their. Amazingly exactly the same thing happened to me when I had two days in a row breaking records I was going to rest the next day but picked up the powerball and broke speed 30s 90s

Worryingly close to my 30s I'm going to have to do some more of them to get away from you abit

Nice Dual Hand btw 26K is an awesome score as only 16 people have done it in the Dual League so far

Keep up the powerballing

Installed, do you have a video in which you use your two handed technique, im quite intrigued by how it might look.

You can't really see all that much. If anyone is interested, I could make a video showing in-depth how to do it.

Yes that would be nice if you could bide some of your time to make one. I've tried to do the two handed technique but as LTLFTC described it feels like just one hand is doing 100% of the work

Well done on the dual. There goes my 9 rev lead.
With the two handed are your fingers locked over the top of the rotor??

Good dual score, will be looking to get a bit more space between us on that leaderboard after my break.

Well done

Good scores. Looking to post my first dual score over the week-end. Murdered my arms last night, woke up nice and stiff in the arms this morning, so expect me to be close on all the 250Hz scores...

Got 10402 using your tech Installed.

good fun!
