A marginal increase to 14660 but look at the graph. Sure it should have registered a higher score.

Yes! It seems like you held it abve 14660 for over a second.
I would have said that was 14900+

Good score anyway - at this rate 15k wont be out of reach.

You could try and swap the counter of the 250Hz with another one. If you have a 350Hz (sig) you could try that one.
Another thing you could try first is keeping it steady at 10k rpm and take a look at the graph, or maybe 11k or 12k if you can keep it at those speeds.
Other than that I don't know what else you can do.

Keep doing what your doing, the counter is going to record an amazing score at some point! mine did the same.

Hi Tstering,

As I said after you reached the #20 with 14640, you have the potential of hitting 15K right now or very very soon if you get everything right.

If you are still in a hot-mode, you should keep spinning with a little greater intensity, being sure to hold it longer at the peak of the spin. Then maybe the of 15K or at least 14.9k should register for you on the counter.

I think you are almost there! :)

Hi Tstering,
Looks like there is nothing stopping you right now.
I think you gonna hit 15K any day and the graph is also confirming that.
I guess that you just need to keep the peak just a little longer in order to get the counter to register the score.

Unfortunantly Jez and Duane and won't be giving it a little extra intensity as I've strained my wrist tonight. I was already giving it big intensity. I took Thu-Sat totally off then Sunday i did 3 hours, yesterday did 3 hours and then today did about 2 hours till my writst 'went'. It kind of 'pinged' and it now has quite a sharp pain. I'll be taking total rest till it sorts itself out, hopefully not to long, but who knows, I'll have a better idea in the morning i guess.

That's too bad, but you should be okay. Yes, definitely take a rest from the Powerballing for a day, or two, or three if you need it. I had take a 3 day weekend off because of my thumb. My wrist was also having an issue too, and it may have been the same as you are experiencing, but my thumb the worst of the two.

I received my Powerball prize from the monthly top score yesterday, and even though I wanted to give it spin, I refrained from even taking it out of the box until my thumb felt better.

I woke up this morning, and I felt that my thumb was better, and also my wrist was much better after the 3 days off. So I decide to take the new Powerball out for a spin, and after 2 short warm-up attempts, I got a score of 15035 on my brand new Powerball. Now I have 4 Powerballs that show 15K+ scores. And a I now have Signature Series that is seriously close too. :)

I think I will be okay for now. The healing will continue on my thumb and soon my hands will be clean. I'm beginning to get the opinion that when I do a 15K run, nothing bad at all happens to my fingers if I am holding it right.

I got my finger injuries when my record was around 14500 or so, and it took the injuries for me to readjust my grip to get the higher scores. But Tstering, it sounds like you have find a good grip for a 15k, so I wouldn't change much for now.

The bottom line is to take the rest you need. 15K will definitely come easier when you are 100% ready for it. You already have a technique worked out. You have nearly hit the score already. You just need that extra burst that will come right after a rest.

You'll make 15K soon. :)

That was not good at all, especially now when you were in a hot zone performing great scores.
Let's hope the rest will do you good and that you recover quickly to be back and smash that 15k barrier.

The wrist isn't as bad this morning, so hopefully 2-3 days rest will do the trick, though the thumb hurts aswell this morning, but again not to badly.
Heres hopeing for a new record in about 4 days time.

That's good news, I guess you need the rest anyway after going hard for 3 days. ;)

... thumb hurts aswell this morning, but again not to badly.

Well my thumb hurts more or less all the time when I do hard PB sessions.
It seems that this is a very common problem by reading posts in this forum.
