ARZG scores

[ARZG]

well, I cleaned the ball - opened it up- wiped it clean from dust and dirt and did everything. So I wash my hand ready for a spin and I get 8600 lol- I mean I have had my highs and lows but 8600!!! it is practically impossible for me! after 5 mins I gave it everything I got to get 89** damn so close to 9,000! damn if only my ball was working properly, I swear I could of hit 11k -was in a hot mode too!

but to be serious It has become apparent that ball is 10x louder and rustier and the opposite of smooth! I just can't believe I have broken my power ball I suppose I will just have to send it back?

[ARZG]

Ok, a lot has happened since then- but it has been quite a busy time over these weeks to Christmas but anyway since my ball broke and had sent the counter and it had been received by them was about 3 weeks and I had only been powerballing 2 months before. When my new rotor and counter had been sent, it sounded so quite I thought something was wrong with it lol and it seemed a lot difficult too; within about 20mins my highest score I had achieved was a mere 9,7**. Also I must say that I had lost the addiction lol that I had but nevertheless I continued not as often as I used too though. About an hour on my first day I had reached 10,4** which I was pleased about, however little did I know that would be the last time I would see a score like that again until a long time. After, I think I had a week where my scores were unbelievable low going down a low as 8300 lol but on average about 95**.

However, in the following the weeks I began to get much better and I had gotten up to 107** (with my left) about a few weeks from Christmas but struggled to get anything higher. My left had defiantly a better technique and felt a lot more conformable which my right didn't- back then my right couldn't get past 10,000. So I changed my technique on my right hand and turned the ball upside down for a try on that, and to my astonishment, my scores began to improve but not that quickly.

Anyway, I can’t say I Powerballed much on the way to Christmas, but on Christmas day I was shocked. I began playing and straight away with my left I achieved 10,300 cold. From then on, I knew I might get some good scores coming in. within about an hour I was in an ultra hot mood (first time in ages) and out of nowhere I just felt really strong in my left arm- I can’t explain the feeling but you just know- so I when for a spin and reached 11,011!! Best score with my new Powerball . My right wasn't doing to badly either but not as good as my left at the time. A few hours later I began to spin again, but this time I focused more on my right after my left gave some lower scores about 10,200 on average. After about 30mins I span 10,8** which was very pleasing but I knew I could get higher and later on I when into an ultra hot mode too and I span 11,169!!

lol something about Christmas just makes you spin faster

Great news there. Glad to hear you are getting back into it. I record should be on its way soon.

[ARZG]

New Record!! 11,456 R had an amazing session today- began with my right and managed to get about 10,500 cold and I kept on do speed runs never at any point did I do a endurance run with my right, instead I did loads of speed runs about 12 altogether and i had approximately 3-8 mins break when I powerballed with my left during that time. Every next speed run was an improvement. I improve about 8 times until I reached that score. However, once I managed to get into the 11,000 I never got out- I managed to get quite a few 11,000s until I got 11456 to 11385 to 11182 where I stop for the day

Very nice session ARZG Congrats for your new score

[ARZG]

A long time since I last posted (sadly i have been quite busy) but I still haven't achieve any higher scores I wonder what I am doing wrong- any suggestions/advice?- it has been almost 2 and 1/2 months now.

Also, I havn't been powerballing for the last couple of days as there is a crack in my rotor again so I am requesting for a new one- hopefully that will help with my scores...

[ESL]

Hi there ARZG,
Maybe you don't powerball as frequently as you should. Or maybe the opposite, you don't rest enoughor maybe it's just the ball.Don't really know!

I got a metal Powerball as of late. I'm very impressed with it so far. First time I used it, I was already fatigued within 5mins but it wasn't before long until I got used to it.

Scored 9901 with left hand, however I am having problems with the technique of the right hand (with rotor facing palm) the technique is fine with the plastic but somehow just doesn't work for the metal - maybe it's the grip. I tried turning it the other way (with counter facing palm) but I have a huge issue on the grip that way and feels like it's literally about to slip out of my hand. So for the right I can only get around 8500 consistently.
anyway, it just doesn't feel right so I guess my technique needs to change somehow...

Hey there, well done for getting a Heavy Metal...it's a beast, isn't it? I couldn't hold onto mine at all when I first got it, and really struggled to achieve decent scores. With the use of a grip-enhancer, (I used SurGrip), I was able to cling on better, but it was still a long time before I could really tame the thing. Now I don't use a grip-enhancer at all, and am able to hold onto it pretty easily. It'll happen to you too I'm sure.

Keep it up, and go for 10k.

[ARZG]

heh, I used to have little grip for the plastic - now that's very easy to hold on to (very low resistance compared to the metal) – you’re right; it’ll just take time. I usually wash my hands with soap in cold water for better grip but I don’t think I’ll use grip enhancers; I’ll go the hard way and develop the grip naturally .

Also the metal is a bit bigger but I guess that's no excuse
