I scored 15463 this morning 6/4/07

[wetdude]

I was wizzing my Powerball, but this time I could not hear it too much, as I had the radio on.

I had good steady arm and tense wrist action.
When I loked at the numbers flashing, To my amazement I scored 15463.

My best was 12177 before that.
This would rank me as 4th in the world,:D but for one problem.
I did not film it and I only took a photo of the ball score when still.:eek:

No one will believe me.:(
I know I did it and that is what matters.:)

you're not 4th, maybe not even 500th if we count every people who claimed to have achieved 15k even if they never went over the 13k barrier before....

how can people be so self confident and think they achieve world record when the real people train so hard to achieve such scores...

Sorry guy, but you're not superman, someone had to tell you... :rolleyes:

Hi Wetdude,

I'm afraid that Obw4n is right, but don't let that discourage you.

When my record was just above 14K, I did something similar. I was Powerballing after a 5 day absence from training, and I decided to change my technique. I had just watched some of Bjorn's and Akis's videod, and decided to change my grip and put my feet into motion. Somehow it worked. Powerball whizzed like never before. I looked at the counter and flashing at me was a score of 16437 (look closely at my avatar).

At first I experienced delight, because even now I know that it was one of my best runs. The sound was right, and the vibration was right. I think the feet movement had a lot to do with it too. But soon this dismay was replaced by disappointment because, like yourself, I did not record this wonderful session on video. I tried a few more times to repeat what I did. I even had a new record, but it was not quite like that incredible 16437 run. This happened back in December of 2006.

I had to accept, for the time being, that since I had no video proof, I would have to accept the distinct reality that it would be considered a counter glitch.

Nevertheless, I continued over the next month to repeat the technique (even without the added foot movement) that I did to get the "miraculous" score I achieved that one December day. It worked enough to get me to 15241, and now currently #4 in the world after only one month of further training.

And though I have narrowed the gap by over 1000 rpm, I am still attempting to repeat that same score that I achieved that one December day. The main thing I have learned from then, is that recording every single attempt is absolutely vital. With a video, one will be able to analyze the sound and find out what rpm the Powerball is really spinning at.

Believe me, I understand your sense of excitement. I did basically the same thing. Honestly, I still do not think that my 16437 was much of a counter glitch as it seemed to many at the time, but without the video evidence, your new score, like mine, will have to remain categorized as counter glitches until there is video proof to show otherwise.

Don't be discouraged though, 15k is not really that hard. ;) Keep training!

Always Powerballing,

I totally agree with what you're saying but there are limits to what can be considered plausible. Having an average of 12k and then suddenly managing a world record run is very unlikely, unless this guy has the perfect technique and simply hasn't used it till that score I can't believe that someone could jump up almost 3,000 rpm on their personal best.

Im sorry man but I'm going to have to agree with obiwan on this. That has got to be a counter glitch.A pitty because from what you're saying the run was better than your previous ones and felt good so maybe if the counter hadn't glitched may have gotten a new more plausible record.

But counter glitch or not, keep at it and keep practicing, you'll get there in the end. :)

It was a glich on the counter, simple as that. I recorded a 15k+ score when i could only do 13.5K and i knew that is was a glitch, you just don't make those kind of improvements.

Keep on powerballing though as one day you may well get to those amazing scores.

Thanks to you all for responding and your honesty. I am also aware thet it was a strange event so no expectations from me. It is a great story to tell everyone anyway.

I will send the ball back to get it reved up higher :)
