New metal. Any tips for long life?

[daveee1]

Hey all:D
Ive been persuaded to buy a metal and im looking foward to it. Firstly, does anyone have any pointers on what to do, or not to do with it as soon as i get it to enhance its life . I read that the 250hz pro shouldnt be used for very high speeds until a couple of days of 'breaking it in'. Also what exactly does the lifetime guarantee cover. For instance say if the powerball seems to be old and slow could I request a new one, with a no quibble service, or does it have to smash into a million pieces for you to claim? Is there a limit to how many times you can get a replacement in the lifetime you have it?

Cheers guyes you lot are the most helpful and commited forum people i know. Thanks alot:)

The main pointers are:

Try not to drop your Powerball if at all possible as this is the most common cause of damage</li>

Use it at low/moderate speeds until your muscles have become used to the unique manner in which Powerball exercises them. Try to keep it to 10-15 mins once or twice a day for the first month.</li>

We don't replace the Powerball outright, but will send the part(s) you require to effect a repair at any stage. If you are not happy doing the repair yourself, or if the Powerball remains unfixed after attempts at repair, contact us and you can then send your Powerball to us for repair/replacement.

I would definitely recommend using the wrist-cord the first time you try the Metal. It's slightly larger, more slippery, and generates three or four times more torque than a 250Hz.

I know people say that a 250Hz at 12000 revs is trying to wrench itself out of your grip. I've never had that problem, but at 10000 rpm the Metal really is trying to do that. Would be awful for you to drop it on your first go, so the wrist-strap will prevent that.

Does that apply to the Metal? I damadged mine recently and sent an email to Liz direct, she told me to send the damdged parts to you guys :confused:

Because of the inherent strength in the Metals, and the significantly higher costs of parts, we do require that all damaged parts are returned to us prior to replacement.

Parts are still covered under warranty.
