I got a tecnho powerball a 8 days ago. But I was experiencing a problem with the fast spins, the leds on the ball would shut off completely, which was very frustatingg because I was unable to read the RPM's. I came to the conclusion that this would happen when the ball was spined over the 13K RPM's, because the fastest score I had without the leds shuting off was 12,800. I also had a 15274 spin, but can explain how it happened, it was a hard spin but not my best effort, in fact I was expecting the leds to shut off, but instead i got the 15274 reading. Never had another reading above 12800 without the leds shuting off.
All 7 leds on the ball would light and blink while spining, but once I stoped spinning the lead would shut off.
I haven't been able to get a score over 12253 in the last 5 days (since I dropped the ball. I 've opened it and cleaned the plastic band, but the balls seems to have lost something, it no longer gives the force which allows you to spin it harder. The ball no longer catchs up to my wrist like it did before I dropped it. Normally the ball goes faster than you can spin and is impossible to keep up with it. In this case is the opposite. I arm was sore the first three days I used the powerball, for the constant use and force the ball genereted. After I droped the ball, my arms are no longer sore, my shoulder is, because I have to put so much effort to try to get to the 12k, my forearms receive no impact from the ball anymore.
I dont remember having play on the ball when spining at 11+ RPM's before, well my ball has play now even on those 12K spins I've managed to get after I droped it.
What can I do to get my ball back to where it was. I read the FAQ, cleaned the plastic band which was black; I've been spining the ball for about an hour a day since the day I dropped it, with most spins over 10 RPMS. Is still hear a noise, it has play, and won't spin as fast as when it was new.
If I manage to fix this with your help, I'd be left with the led problem I had in the beginning.
Thanks
