Ultimate Powerball Challenge

[.AM]

Well that's good to hear then, you're not a complete disbeliever.

That's not the point; I mentioned this occurence mainly because private correspondence can often tell more about people than what they say in public (if 24h powerballing is "extremely stupid", I wonder what he would say of people who upload their videos).

(But then you couldn't really expect someone to prove their 24-hour score to you now could you! )

Technically it should be possible (more or less): set up the webcam and broadcast yourself during the entire run for anyone to connect at any time to see how you're getting along and have a chat.

Anyway, for me it's not exactly a question of belief or disbelief. My analysis of powerball videos suggests that certain balls are mechanically different in aspects that matter (some appear to have thinner axle, some appear to have lower moment of inertia). That's my interpretation of what I'm seeing, and in case anyone strongly disagrees or would like to discuss it, we certainly can (moving to another topic). My interpretation can be wrong indeed, hence I'm still interested in seeing at least one of you powerball champions show what you can do on a standard untweaked ball (and thus making your own proposal happen, by the way).

PS weighed my ball on another scale: rotor assy 182 g, total 257 g.

So if someone videoed a run, then dismantled the ball showed a close up of the rotor to the camera, weighed it and put a vernier calliper over the shaft diameter and length, would that help??

Good point. I don't have a Vernier Calliper, and I can't take my Old Skool Ball apart anyway, but there's that test of spinning 100 on the Total Revolutions mode and counting how many times you spin your arm...should be something like 330 shouldn't it? I could show that on video. (I think that might possibly be why Andy wants to see my or Ben's UPC scores on video, as it might show whether we're spinning our arms less times than normal during the Strength Runs. To score 18,000 in 90s you'd have to spin your arm nearly 600 times, or thereabouts.)

I'm not asking for such a proof as I wouldn't consider videos of this sort as one in the first place, so no need to do that guys, thanks.

50k+ UPC video from bman would be certainly more interesting to see as long as this topic is concerned.

Hahahaahahahaha!!!

I've only been doing 30 second gaps between runs instead of 60. Whoops!

I wouldn't mind seeing it myself...and if I ever do get back to form I'll video my own.

Noob!

Do you mean you wouldn't consider it as proof in improving the validity of the score

If that's the case I'll be expecting 40k

[Koman]

Lol guys what's up with the hassle. Settle down a bit will ya' chill!

well you will be waiting along time seeing as i have no plastics and i haven't sent my older balls back yet
