11k and beyond. Garys ascent to glory (I hope)

[Sanders83]

New record 11205!! Left handed too. My left is officially the hand I will be using in my attempts over the summer to get my name on the glory board.

Odd really seeing as I haven't actually been Powerballing that much recently. Arm pulsing now though.

:)

Congratulations! That pulsing thing actually can happen at lower speeds than 14k, just not quite as fast. It feels cool doesnt it?

Are you left or right handed?

[Sanders83]

I'm a left handed writer but do everything else right handed. My forearm feels so tight I'm actually having trouble typing.

Ouch!!

wow someone else whos ambidextrous! I also wright with my left hand but do most other tasks with my right even though I can do them with either. All though im only 2days into Powerball, ive noticed I'm just as good on either hand although my right hand holds my personal best which is in my signature below. I tend to swap hands alot too. While spinning up, normally start in my left get to a high speed with my right, then bring the speed down just enough to pass over to my left again to get as fast as I can before I rest.

Lol's at signature :D

New records set today after workout on the weights.

Left 11370 just before whacking out 11422 on the right.

The right's back in the lead but left going very strong too. Now broken 11k with both hands.

Haven't got vids though and flaming thing won't let me upload pic as it's too big.

Keep you all posted..........

[One-Eye]

Well done, new record feeling is goood!!

;):D

[Sanders83]

Thanks, hope I can keep this rate of improvement up.

[Sanders83]

Thought it had been a while since a had a serious go at the Powerball so I gave the left arm a serious caning.

Scores 11,634, 11,850 and breaking my record for the 3rd time in one session 12,172. Very pleased at breaking the 12k barrier and now settling down to watch Red Dwarf. Blister clearly on the way.....

Will do right arm tomorrow.

I write and use a fork with my left hand, but I do most everything else with my right hand, like bowling, golfing, and throwing. Some things I can just switch hands if one gets tired. When Powerballing, I naturally tend to favor the right but I do work on the left from time to time.

Some people think I am right-handed, and some people think I am left-handed. :)


Always Powerballing,

[Sanders83]

New record on the right now. 11,946. Getting there.......

[Sanders83]

Broken all records today. Hit 10514 with the metal and with my arm still pulsing a 13007 on the 250hz. That metal really does wonders. My arms never has the technique control like that before. Really optimistic about getting myself up on that board at long last.

Now I have to try and put it down for 2 days.....

[Tstering]

Woot, 13K is always a great barrier to hit. Congratulations. Hope to see you on the main score boards soon.

[ESL]

Very nice score:) Iremember when i first got 13k...IT FELT FANTASTIC;) :D
Go for the scoreboards;)

[Sanders83]

Thanks guys. I will do. The ball was alot louder at that speed too. Nice whine to it. You just know when you've hit a record.

[Sanders83]

More records with the metal. Nice little tip I've discovered is to Powerball after having a shower. There's so much grip.

I have a session on the weights or with the balls or both, have a shower and then go for it with the balls. Got 10849 with the metal with the right and 10747 with the left. Quick rest and another session in a bit. :)

[Sanders83]

Currently having massive sessions with the metal. Taken left hand up from 10747 to 10823, 10961, 11012 and just now 11142.

That's a major jump and all my scores are consistent. And just to think the left was my bad arm......

[ESL]

Hehe:DGreat scores Sanders;)I also tend to find left very good with the metal and sometimes better than right.
Anyway, congrats for ur scores.Go for 11.5k!:D;)

[Sanders83]

Thanks.

Hopefully when I get my new 250hz rotor I'll absolutely trash my old record as I've been using the metal loads :)

[Sanders83]

Now up to 11233 on the metal slowly getting there. Now on the scoreboard :D

[Tstering]

With such a good score on the metal I'd expect 13K+ scores on the plastic aswell soon. Usually plastic scores are about 2,000rpm more than metal scores.

[ESL]

Good one there Sanders83;) Agrre with Tstering- 13k should be easy for you;):DGo for it!

[Sanders83]

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to be able to hit 14k soon. Getting some good momentum at the mo. Better keep my video cam on standby though.
