    Default Jarkko kills 19k on endurance(ed Tech)

    I don't know if I should feel happy or sad

    Awesome level to reach well done dude that is just massive skill and control.

    but wrench's at my heart that you made the move to Ed

    Just read your thread on Gyrotek and I'm with you if you can't get a separate listing leave your 18.5 gripper that's way more impressive IMHO

    I don't think he's made the move. He, like me, is just curious to test the technique I think, and both of us are proving it's easier to get higher scores with the technique.

    I think this highlights the need for separate scoreboards
    If I put myself in Jarkko's shoes I would be proud as hell of getting 19k but I wouldn't post it as I would be more impressed with my 18504

    That's exactly what I am thinking.

    I think too that there should be separate scoreboards for gripper and ed tech, but if not then I prefer gripper.

    Top man Jarkko

    Like you l agree, hell of a score but both techniques are so different and your gripper score to me is far more impressive than your Ed!!

    Big respect though

    I agree. I would think if Jarkko continues, and gets his technique perfected, he should be able to do nearer 19.5k, or more. Even with 19002 his Percentage of Maximum Potential is still lower than me. 19.5k would give him a similar Percentage as Obiw4n. 19.7k would bring him in line with Installed.

    For me, 1000 revs difference between the techniques is about right. So only when Jarkko hits 19505+ will I be impressed!

    This talk about the seperate scoreboards is a heart-wrencher. If they made the change now, there would only be a couple of people on the scoreboard anyway, and it would drag all us ed-techers out of the picture after being up top for so long. Although it is a fair idea though thats worth considering.... T

    hats one truly amazing score Jarkko, big congratulations. Whether you used ed tech or not makes no difference to me!

    P.S. I think Alistair's post sums it up... http://www.powerballs.com/forum/show...?t=1000&page=5

    Nice one Jarkko. 19k looks very unexplored in 90s

    I think he did a good choice by putting one record here (gripper), and the other one on gyrotek scoreboards (Ed tech)...

    I did the same, but in opposite

    That way both techniques can be a motivation to climb up the scoreboards...
