Learning Curve

I just reviewed the video here guys and the actual score is something around 10k.

We're going to send a new counter off to Dave and we'll look forward to the new set of scores.

Regards

I also ran it through powerballyzer and just about managed to get a reading. It seems to peak just over 11K from what i can tell. Though i think my setting are a bit off as i just did an 11K run and it regirtered near 12K on the powerballyzer.

Darn it! (mumble mumble made in China mumble mumble).

Sorry Scouse, no beast status... yet.

Still staying positive.
Convinced I'm a beast, will keep you all posted. I can understand the naysayers, I'm only reporting what my ball tells me! As a scientist, the noise analyser does not convince-only another ball will convince me!

It was a counter error, that sounds was not more than 10k..., sorry

checked with friends ball today and am gutted. Found out that ours balls were totally different. My older model is about 40g lighter and I could still get it to high 15k. I struggled to get his ball up to 11900ish but felt tired- was certainly harder though. The dream is over for me though!!
Oddly enough my friend couldn't beat his best on my ball- we decided that my old, light and distinctly clunky ball required a slightly different technique.
P.S just got this ball to over 16K (Akis- get in touch if you want to use this one, I won't tell!!)

Well a score of close to 12K after only 3 days use is still very impressive. Certainly have the potential with practice to be getting some very high scores.

There's quite a big discussion on -- http://ukbouldering.com/board/index....ic,7489.0.html

Seems where all these guys live.

C'mon, c'mon, do keep up! I gave you our forum URL eons ago!

They seem mostly quite weak at it, neophytes etc.. but there are a few who use the forum with particularly good pinching skills and I have high hopes for them. The only problem is, powerballing wouldn't be an end in itself, perhaps just a way of gaining extra forearm mass for stronger bouldering. Time will tell. Salut!

Poor Scouse eh? Dude thought he was a god for a moment there

Mmmm....40g lighter? That sounds to me like your powerball is not an official NSD powerball, but a counterfeit one. You'd better buy the real stuff dude, as all cheap knock-offs I have had in my hands were all crap, no exceptions (and believe me I have tried many of them).

The Force
P.S. Maybe Enda wants to wait before sending a new counter and first establish that this guy bought a real one?
