i got a friend who is in the 15k barrier now.. he will update with a video soon.. and well.. the rotor of his powerballs last about a month or two.. then the rotor starts to vibrate.. its weird.He's just sent a video to Scoreadmin...very impressive, I'll try and get a screenshot and upload the video for all to see today. All I can say is, watch out Jaco, Mark and Bjorn! :cool:

I've had many Powerballs, and have only had one rotor got all vibratey on me...but it wasn't right from the start. It was always a bit rough, and as time went on it got worse, to the point at which it actually hurt when I used it. I never dropped it or anything.

The weird thing was, I could get it going at around 8000 rpm, and as long as I kept the motion as minimal as possible, it would suddenly go very smooth for a while. (It felt lovely...like driving fast along a really rough road, and then suddenly getting onto a smooth, quiet and comfortable bit.) With the Powerball, if I tried to speed it up, it would vibrate badly again until I maintained the speed and motion and slowly it would go smooth again. Could never quite get my head around why it was doing it.

But it was only the one, as I say, and I've had many Powerballs.

Now to go and approve Carlos's Top 5 score!!

EDIT: Carlos's score now live. Any chance of getting him to come to these forums Sayex?
