squeeking/ratteling sound

[rae]

hi im new to powerball today and i have a pretty good technique. my top score so far is 9648 lol.but when im powerballing when the rotar is slowing down it make a squeeking/ratteling sound, is this natural or is it something im doing wrong? thanks

Its normal, its happened to most of mine, just don't put oil in there!

ok thanks is it normal for it to rattel when starting sometimes aswel?

[Killjoy]

yeah, the rotor has some free play from side to side, and up and down, it the rattle is like a slapping sound, it means your not moving your hand in flow with the rotor, and not in sync. Practise usually fixes this.

Something I forgot to add was to hold your ball tighter, really try and crush the thing while playing.

As Killjoy said, it is perfectly normal for your Powerball to screech a little when spinning - it may or may not happen, but only occurs with some Powerballs.

As you continue to use the Powerball, you will wear it in somewhat and then should find that the screeching sound disappears... it will be replaced by a satisfying whine as you reach those higher speeds!

Enda
