View Full Version : Killjoy's Scores
Okay my scores are...
--Neon Blue Pro--
Speed: LH:11023, RH:11978,
--250hz Orange Pro--
Speed: LH:11015, RH:11702,
--350hz Metal Pro-
Speed: LH:9662, RH:12055,
Thing is I can smash 12k with my metal powerball, but cant with the pastics...
Very strange I know, I just went for a smash with the Neon blue pro and got 11938rpm
I seem to enjoy thrashing my 350Hz then jumping onto a 250Hz after, I am giving my arms a quick rest to type this then I am going on the metal for a few mins then swap to the plastic and il see if I can kiss 11k pastic good bye once and for all!:cool:

and it was just on 10k because I always reset the thing and was training then i thought id get my sis to video it.
Just been reading Akis's past comments.
Whats HOT mode?!? and il try it.
Tell you what lets combine our metal and plastic scores and we'll both be happy. Then again given your metal scores I don't think it will be long until I'm wanting your plastic score as well.:rolleyes:

Whats HOT mode?!?
It's when everything goes right and you add big chunks to your records.
Hot Mode ftw!!!
;):D:cool:
Well im not sure if I know how to hit hot mode, but I have been in it before,
Can hit 11500+ from the first time picking up the ball.
Did some heavy powerballing yesterday and my little finger has three areas with no skin, very sore, but as they say... No pain, no gain!
Just actually looked on the metal scoreboard and im good enough to be on it, My Goal is to be able to get over 13.5k by the Uk champs, and over 12.5k metal by the Uk champs!

That shouldn't be a problem for you, though I think you'll probably find 13.5k Plastic easier than 12.5k Metal...that latter is harder I think. ;)
work on your 250Hz technique, if you can get 12k with the metal then you definitely have the ability to get much better plastic scores but I think your technique is preventing this for now. I Wish I could get 12k on the metal and my current plastic highscore is 14,218 ;) :D :cool:
Good luck

I can hold the 350Hz firmer, the weight and force make me too!
I know for fact I have a problem with the 250Hz as when I hold it tight it "slaps" so I just hold the ball and do my thing, and I get 12k, If I can use the ball so I am trying to break it with my grip I am sure I will pass well beyond 12k.
Just submitted my video for the metal scoreboard.

You've got great potential for some awesome 250hz scores, you'll just need to work on technique. It also could be possible that your plastic isnt working properly. Anyhow, your 350hz record is great. I was thinking maybe no one had done a sound test on it, so I did, and it's legit! In fact, I compared it with my old 12055rpm metal record.

yeah I figured something like that was happening to you, the main thing with powerballing is a good balance of power and technique, if your technique isn't good enough you won't have the ability to use your power and vice versa.
My main problem with the metal and my right hand is that I have a rather weak thumb joint (double jointed/loose) and that is limiting my grip power of the ball. So I can't use all my power on it without it slipping out of my hand quite quickly most of the time. This doesn't really affect my Plastic scores but I think if I had the same grip power on my right as with my left I would be getting much better metal scores.
Keep practicing though and i'm sure you will get some much better scores with the plastic soon.

I think It's time for a gripper Linus ;)
Thanks for all the comments guys, I think I will go get my bike gloves and move them into my room, not sure if it will help with grip or not but its worth a shot!
If I can grab my plastic (when i do it slaps) so if I can... and reteach myself powerball (1 year of wrong!!!) then I will hopfully improve.
Thing is, look at the size of Akis, Cazes, Duane etc! they are all big chaps, so I am guessing when I get that big! I can stick all that force in the ball!
I have the arms, and the tummy, just not the shoulders ;)
just desided to go crazy!
and my little finger is running with blood to prove it, but I got a 12036rpm on the Blue Neon Pro!
Going to quickly get the screamer and see what I can get on that!

Nice dude. I've never used a screamer, but I would think they would run faster than a neon - since theyre so freaking slow. :rolleyes:
The screamer is still slower than the normal 250Hz,
After some practise with the plastic I have improved without much effort, as you can see by the scores in my sig, I think il use it more on my left hand as I can only spin it one way.
People say clockwise and anti clockwise but those descriptions are incorrect. (depending on how you hold the ball, and where your arm is)
So I would describe it as spinning the ball towards you, and away from you.
I can do away in both hands, and towards using my right, but with the left, it feels so hard, and its like going back to basics.
So that is what I am going to work on,
In other news my sister can get 8739rpm on the 350Hz and my mum just got 8393rpm, When I see my sister this weekend hopefully! Il give her it and im sure she can get 9k+ due to the fact shel have had all week off.

Admittedly one needs to give more information when they say they spin clockwise. My original direction, with my right hand, palm facing down towards the floor, was clockwise as I looked at it. Anti-clockwise with my left hand. I now go the other way.
However, saying "away from you" or "towards you", you also need to elaborate on that. Whichever direction, if your hand move towards you at any point then it's bound to be moving away from you at the other side of the circle. If you hold you arm out straight infront of you then the circle isn't actually going to be moving towards you at all!
The best description, which always works, is either "Wax On, Wax Off", or "Sand-a Floor"! ;)
I think It's time for a gripper Linus ;)
indeed haha :D a gripper... or 4 ;):P
unfortunately they don't really work the thumbs all that well, other than that weakness my grip is pretty ok I think. But i'm sure a tighter grip will help especially with the metal.
nice improvement on your scores KillJoy, get that technique refined and you'll do better still methinks :)
