    Name: Ken N.

    Nickname: Weee

    Country: USA

    Age: 24

    Job: Electrical Engineer

    Powerball experience: Coming Soon

    Sense of humor: Sarcastic

    Current speed record: I had A ball, but no computer, so no incentive to take it really fast

    Further hobbies: Tennis, Swimming, Cycling, Running (Training for first triathlon) Weightlifting, inline skating, golf, bowling

    I had another gyro exerciser, i never took it fast at all just light rotations. I'm trying to build my left side up to match my right as most of my sports have made me decidedly imbalanced. Also, sitting at a computer all day at work has lead me to just start having wrist pains recently which I am trying to alleviate!

    I think his endurance is pretty good compared to his speed records. Maybe you're just unusually good Donkopone, lol.

    yeah i'm working on improving it, as i said ive only started using the powerball again after about 10-12 months of not using it so i kind of have to re-adjust to the powerball. and already since yesterday ive improved my score to 13514, by my calculations if i can keep up this rate of improvement 1 year from now my 90s endurance score will be 155864, so thats my goal ;oP

    ive been using the powerball alot in the last few days and ive increased my endurance record to 14275 and my highscore to 11665, so donkapone i reckon that u shud be able to beat ur endurance record, what i do is change hands every 20 seconds for the 1st minute then after 15 seconds for the last half minute, i feel it gives me the best chance to rest each hand before going again, give it a try and let me know if u can beat ur personal best. my goal is to get into the top100 before the end of the month
