    Default Another ball bites the dust

    What is with my balls breaking GRRRRR. Second one now where the one of the metal supports has snapped off. Also second one with cracks in rotor. So thats now 4 rotors i've gone throughj in about 5 months, GRRRRR. I really look after them aswell, must be my technique.

    At the scores you're up to, that's not a very high number of rotors to break I think. Also, your technique is indeed quite violent, which I'm sure is also a contributor to the problem.

    I wonder if Jez has broken many? I'm sure he's had to have replacements, but he's got one of the most violent techniques I think. His transistion from gentle to max-power is amazing though.

    That's a pain Tstering, perhaps you should take up knitting or something less agressive!?

    HEHE. No way i'm going to take up knitting lol. I guess my technique is quite aggressive, maybe its just the English way If it works for Jez then its good enough for me

    Post a link to one of your video's if you don't mind. I would like to see this violent technique and compare it to my own.

    Man, you really let it rip!! Quick question, I see that you also sit down when going for it. Don't you find any benefit in doing speed runs standing?

    With my RH i can only get 14.5K, and generally only low 14Ks, to get my big scores I have to be sitting down. Annoyingly with my LH it is the other way round. Sitting i can barealy get 12K but standing can get 12.6K (currently). This leaves me in an interesting situaution, should I stand or sit when doing a dual run?
