Akis's sessions

[bman]

well after reading through every page of Jez's scores once again(I think that I have read every single user score page)I started to wonder what kind of scores Akis has achieved in his last sessions? dont worry guys this isn't a Andy prove your self type thread I am just intrigued because as I progress with my sessions I am constantly reading old/new user threads to see what kind changes/routines help them to improve their own scores.

Also I like to compare my scores to others so that I can set targets for my future spins e.g once I started to get near 15k I began reading through the other 15ks spinners threads to see what kind of 30s/90s they were scoring so that I could make sure I was keeping up.

so Akis I ask that if you dont mind could you please post a few scores because even though I still have a long way to go I am always trying to find out more about how others spin but sadly Jez seems to be the only 15k8 spinner that provided detailed session round ups.

Edit: sadly the only thing I have noticed so far is that I still need to really work on my metal heavy/light scores

Hi Ben

Congratulations again for your performance, you are on a great trajectory. Don’t worry about the metal scores; they will come out in time.

Unfortunately I don’t have any good sessions lately. I try to train as regularly as I can of course and keep in a fairly good condition, I can easily do 15k+ scores cold, but I am nowhere near the performance I was during the good days. The good 16.5k+ scores were made after exhaustive long sessions, which could take over 6 hours sometimes (11 hours is my longest) and would give me super hot modes but this is not possible for me now.

In any case, I will return here and post some scores when I get the time for a decent session.

Keep pushing; take advantage of your momentum and you’ll get over the barrier. Don’t ever be disappointed if your performance lowers; just rest completely for a few days and you’ll get back stronger!

Regards

Akis

Hello Akis!

A six hour session sounds very agonizing. What does it consist of if I may ask?

Best regards, Tuomas

Thank you for your reply akis and I will try to stay as motivated as I can plus 6+ hours that is just pure dedication

I was talking about powerballl marathon sessions for record attempts. So, apart from the warm-up, it's repeated speed sessions.

It definitely takes total dedication. You may feel exhausted after 3 hours but you have to keep pushing to get a super hot mode!

Once again thank you for your response, since I keep to just one session a week I may give a long session a try maybe 3+ hours will be the key for me to move up to the 16k club

Greetings to all.

I decided to have a session yesterday and try with the Autostart.

(Not so smart idea actually... I intended to spin only with right hand however I was tempted and got a few runs with my left as well and screwed it up... Elbow is now in worse condition and it pains more than even before I began treatment...)

It seems certain that the Autostart runs faster. I can't really explain why, it is built like the other plastic models and it would be logic to assume that the built-in startup mechanism would burden the rotor spin and make it a bit slower than the "light-built" 250 Hz. However this does not happen.

I used one Autostart and one 250 Hz, both brand new. After some run-in with mild spins on both balls, I got a very good warm up and then tried some spins. In two comparable runs, where both balls were run-in at about the same level and I was at a proper hot mode (but not such much as to be "adapted" to a certain ball type or even a specific ball) I had a 16475 at the Autostart while only 15911 at the 250 Hz, both right hand. After a few efforts, I only managed to get the 250 Hz at 16.1k and ended the session with a few Autostart runs with maximum a 16676 rpm.

After that my left arm got like having a knife inside my elbow and now I now can't even lift a napkin let alone spin a Powerball! I should definitely let it heal now and never be tempted again until then.

Keep spinning and kind regards to all

Wow, akis akis is really very impressive. I hope the pain will leave quickly. Whaou you were not very far from your record, in my opinion after treatment and recovery may take you a few more rotations. Takes care of your health, I know that is not easy not to crack and make the powerball (I am well placed). Good luck and congratulations for this 16k6 +.

That is quite a difference between the balls. Looks like 17k is very plausible with autostart once you have fully healed.

Seems like the autostart is a bit faster than the regular 250hz to every spinner (:
Good work on 16k6 make sure to heal properly and go for 16k8 (:
