Scores of Armitage

[Armitage]

Hi, I registered here today, Im powerballing since 3.8.2007(thats about 1 and half month) and I improved from 12 233rpm(i made that third day i had my first PB) to the actual 13532 rpm, when i first time tried 90 sec run i did about 14400 now im at 16286 and i guess it won't take me long to improve it after my blisters and fingers will heal, because now i can't even handle the PB at high rpm. Last time i tried to break some personal records (that was yesterday) i did 2 times above 16100 in 90 sec run and 2 times above 13400 i was close :D only about 60 rpms left to record so i think ill break that after my fingers heal. I tape now almost all my record attempts with my mobile phone, but I dont have any good program to edit/cut the video so i can't post it now on youtube and my last record attempt on youtube is 13309 (its because it's damn 3gp format)

I will do my best to catch up to you guys!

[petemayhew]

Hey!

Welcome to the forum and the nice nice community here. :):p

Haha, nice reading about how you got into powerball! You were exactly like me a few months back so you will definitely be improving in the coming months. :D

Good Luck and post your improvements in!

Pete.

[Armitage]

Very very nice record for just a few weeks:) , indeed you make more RPM than me :( :eek: and I'm powerballing since 11 months... xD

Anyway, congratulation and see my new Metal Record! ;)

Javier

[petemayhew]

Try and burst with your arm down by your side rather then up in the air. I think if you get used to it you could get a much better score.

Thanks for comment on youtube, 17k will come to you in due course. :)

[Armitage]

Thanks guys !

xaverr: ill check it out :D

pete: thanks for tip, ill try it out ;)

[Armitage]

lol!!! 13666:mad: 3 stupid rpm's from my record :confused:

[xaverr]

Man when did you rest??? :eek: :p , you make high scores every day... It's very difficult for me but I try to rest al least 2 days after a hard session...

Monday I will tell you my records, I hope it will be a 13.7k :D :rolleyes:

Regards

Javier

[Armitage]

rest? whats that :D today i did another hard training (still at it) but no good speed recors, no wonder :D, just did 16200 and 16010 on 90s and UPC on left hand 40637, ill do hard training today and tomorow ill rest and after tomorow ill try to break 13.7 :D

[Armitage]

xaverr:

well, the 13.7 isnt my goal :D this month i want to achieve 14k !!

GL ;)

[petemayhew]

this month i want to achieve 14k !!

I went from 13.6K to 14K in a a week or two. So I believe that you can definitely break into the 14K bracket this month if your focused and you plan your important sessions wisely i.e. rest over the weekend then have a session when your in best condition, plan the session at the best point in your day where you can utilize your chance of getting higher scores.

If you can get a metal. The two balls compliment each other well as Akis has said and it's a worthwhile investment. For one your scores will probably go up. Another thing is that while you get accustomed to the weight of the metal you'll find the changeover to plastic relatively easy and it'll feel like a crappy little ball you can pound the hell out off. :D

Anyway saying all this I hope 14K will come to you soon. Don't forget to work on your endurance scores i.e. 30s, 90s. If used in your sessions these will help to get you in the best hot mode for your speed scores, never mind helping your endurance as well. I made 17K endurance well before 14K speed so it's well within your reach. So if your focus on 90s as well your overall game will improve and it will give you a sturdier bridge to your success.

Good Luck.

Pete. :)

[Armitage]

thanks for tips, at the moment i can't make 17 k on 90s because of my left arm :D it's rather weak i can make only 12500 rpm on it, you know im not powerballing for long time so i didnt have the chance to improve both arms efficently :D but im working on it. well as for planned sessions i do hard training for few days then a day rest and then i try to make some record after that i do hard training again and so on. About the metal I'm now out of money so when the money comes I'll buy it definetly.

Tim

[Armitage]

Thats not good :D seems my powerballs are out of order, needs to get repaired :(

Anyway I need some serious rest althought It's broken i could make 13311 today(still not good, not enought rest, i was feeling shooting pain in hands and arms when i took my powerball and started spining), I think after this "big" rest I'll break the record and of course after the change of balls.

I can't belive it my signature rotor is cracked my neon rotor is cracked and even rotor from amber is cracked WTF?:mad: Nevermind the smaller half of amber, the place where the metal thing that goes trought rotor slides is cracked all over it's like it was left in siberia and cracked all over i can't belive I powerballed on this thing so far omg.. im pissed off totaly..

sorry, but I'm not good in English on technical level so words like "thing" is normal ...

I'll go meet the dealer in Czech Rep. They are such nice people, I hate to come there every time to change the balls.

I Always keep Firm Grip on My powerballs even when tired.. My powerball have never fell down... :confused::(

[Armitage]

Soo, I'm gonna have new balls! I ordered Metal and another 250Hz amber pro:D, now I'm still resting so when they come I'll make a record ( i hope..) :D

[xaverr]

Hi Armitage, congratus for your new order..., I know that you will love Metal after a few minutes :D

I agree with you about always gripping firmly...except of my Warm up Powerball..., it have the new rotor ( with thicker fins) so I can make a little of Ed tech or something like that... :p

PS: Tomorrow Saturday I will make body exercises and then try to catch a new record. :cool:
PS2: Let's see on Tuesday your sessions...


Regards!

Javier

[Armitage]

yeah well I love metal even If I don't have It at home now :D i was at dealers place yesterday (to repair some stuff) and i tried the metal :D

I'm looking forward to my session next week aswell :D Good luck with your session today.

[xaverr]

When will arrive your new order??:p , today my Hand greep of IronMind arrived..., I was like a kid with his new toy in Christmas:D , but I thought that It will be more heavy ( I bought one of 60 lbs). Maybe in November I will buy the 140 lbs... :rolleyes:

Javier

[Armitage]

maybe tomorrow but i think on wednesday :D ironmind? we don't have such stuff in CZ :D

[xaverr]

Hehehehe, do you think that we have it in Chile too???:p No..., I buy it from ironmind.com (2 weeks travelling):D

Let's see on Wednesday...

PS: My fingers are better, maybe some of this day I will make a new session...( I will wait until all my blister and holes skins will Perfects);)

Javier

[Armitage]

finally the metal arrived :D i managed to get 11224 rpm 11201 11199 and so on .. i think i can do more, like 11.5 but my hands gave up :D my thumbs feel like they were riden over by a car :D COOL I LOVE IT :D:)

unfortunately last week i lost my speed in right hand *no idea why*

i wrote about it on

http://www.nsdball.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24844&postcount=15

if anyone knows why does this happened to me please answer :( i can really use some help :confused:

[xaverr]

Don't worry about that, that happens to the most of people who improves in one week from 12k to 13.5k, just keep training to improve your technique and to make it always, that's very important and the only way to do that is spinning a lot... ;)

Regards!

[Armitage]

i did that .. i was imrpoving every few days like 12924 then 12954 ... 13042... 13107...13142.....13206...13309...13424....13532

i was getting about fifteen 13+ scores per session :( now its really disaster


maybe its befcause of balls they are all brand new -> i dont have a regular that have been spined more than 1mil revolutions.. but i really think its my right arm that sucks... because now i do similar scores with plastic with my left and right :confused:

[Armitage]

I was playing with metal today aswell as yesterday :D Still can't put it down :D

i improved my left from 10432 to 10819 but i think 11 k is not a problem because i did get a lot of scores near 10800 so i think in few days i'll get here :D

right was an improvment aswell... i did 11261 11236 11239 11330 11357 11389. ill get more sooner :D

I would continue and i might break both LH and RH records, but my hands couldn't stand the high speed.. just too much pain :D thats because my hands have torn up skin all over the worst is thumb i can't move with him without pain :D (nothing serious just skin problems..painful but not damaging the inside of thumb)


happy spinning :D


*sorry for mistakes..

[xaverr]

That are very nice Metal Score..., indeed you shuld make like 2000 rpm more with the Plastic (Like 13.3k with the regular), so Maybe is the Powerball, maybe it's a little still new...;)

[Armitage]

yeah i guess so... now i have 3 brand new/changed parts regulars :D so i guess i'll just continue spinning :D when i did metal scores i felt i could do more :D

[Adrena1in]

Nice scores there 4rm1t4g3! ;)

When I first got my Metal I could only manage about 3000 less than I could with the Plastic. Once I started to get used to it I was around 2000 to 2500 slower. There have been times where I can get around 1200 less with the Metal, but generally I'm around 1800 revs slower with it.

Keep practising and you'll see your scores quickly ride to around 12k. It's really not that difficult, and it's not all about strength...just rhythm and technique.

[Armitage]

thanks :D I sure will do my best :D

[Armitage]

hmm metal without warmup 11276 100 rpm less then my record so i think ill make 11500 today :D or more who knows, but my biceps feels like its going to tear auch...i feel that in high speed and few second after that too :D guess little warmup before metal will be good :D

[ESL]

I don't know why but i like using the metal for warm-up rather than the plastic

PS:very nice scores;)

[xaverr]

In the past I made the same, now I preffer the 30-60 sec with my plastic than the Metal, because that one makes me a lot of blisters...:rolleyes:

[Armitage]

wow.. i was right...

:D


I really improved today with my metal !!!

it was about 2 hours non stop session of speed runs

as a warmup i used 90 sec plastic

ok now the RH scores they are written as i did them i even have few vids of 11.8** and 11.7** scores

11422 11357 11383 11375 11448 11429 11313 11443 11254 11194 11225 11319 11257 11297 11402 11311 11384 11381 i was losing my hope at these times.. and than 11570 wow? but no i felt i could do much more so next one was 11868 now frickin way i said i tried again 11668 11677 11866 11786 then i took my mobile and tape it next one was 11889 got it on tape . 11871 close again 11668 then a few 1.7 tries and then 1.3 and 1.6 and than i gave up because my arm was too tired to continue this... :eek:


the LH scores werent so good because my elft got tired in half of session so i used it only to start the PB..

10904 11121 10996 10801 11104 11046 11245 11016 and a ton of 11 -+ tries and it got tired.. the LH isnt so important so i dont have records of all tries... :)


well after few weeks of powerballing i get callus on my pinky finger 2 on each finger... one of the callus was just torn off today i guess its normal but now i have 1 cm of open meat :confused: i hope i can powerball tomorow or at saturday :D



this was one amazing Metal session i dont really know but it was third or fourth serious session with metal and i like it much more than plastic yes i have metal from monday yesterday was no hard session so this was third session i think im getting a grip of this metal :D

Tim you were right... my scores now are near 12 k im certain that in next session ill make 12 k :D i just hope my hand and arms will survive until then :d


Happy spinning to allll!!!!! :cool::cool:

PS: sorry for mistakes im in no shape to write correctly :rolleyes:

[xaverr]

Hehe, congrats Armitage!!, you pass my Metal record...:eek: I think that my Metal Scores are going down, because my Plastic Records are improving a lot. I hope to catch 11.5k again very soon.:rolleyes:

Anyway Today I did 13.850 with my Plastic :) ,35 rpm less than my record.

[ESL]

Hi,
Congrats Armitage.:D :D :D Very nice score you have if you pass 12k it means that youi'll be able to pass 14k with plastic.So after metal give it a go with the plastic i'm sure you'll get some new records;)

[Armitage]

ESL:well all of my balls (plastic) are new so i dont think i can do it right away :confused:

you should add about 500 revs to your metal score as i see :D


Javier: thanks, your plastic scores are very nice i hope ill get some of these soon too :)

[Adrena1in]

ESL:well all of my balls (plastic) are new so i dont think i can do it right away :confused:

No reason why not. I got a couple of new 250Hz balls ages ago, but didn't use them as I was doing well with my old Powerball, and I assumed they'd be slower. I got to 14694 with my old one before it started to slow down, and I found 14200 a problem. So I broke out my new ones and within 10 or 20 speed runs I was back up to over 14600 again. Sometimes they're at top speed almost straight out of the box.

When I first did 12k Metal, (12012), that same evening I went on to break 14k Plastic for the first time too, (14076). In 12 days it'll be exactly a year ago! ;)

[Armitage]

then i mut be stupid or i just didnt try enought times :D

when i manage to do 12 k metal ill try to make a record with plastic till my hands fall down thats a promise :D


Thanks Tim :D

[Armitage]

we have a new speedy guy pro in Czech!!!! 2 weeks ago he was doing 13420 or so i had more than him .d

now hes at 14602 RH and LH only 11500 or so but his hands are extremely good in endurance he made 18+k 90 sec!! using left and right, hes doing baseball. hes 30 years old, wow i have to try harder to keep up with him :eek:

[Installed]

Awesome scores Armitage!

This other guy must not submit scores to the scoreboard, I don't see him on there...

[Armitage]

He isn't very good in english so that's the reason why he isn't on this forum, he will submit the score when the time is right :D


his last submission on strenght was this guy did 16305 and week after 17221 or so ...:eek: week after that 18 k! thats what i call awesome. And he has only one powerball! one Amber pro!

36 17221 Martin Klíma (CZ) (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:;) 18/09/2007 Baseball


Thanks, today i did 11276 rpm on metal without warming..(i guess as tim said that means i can get much higher with warmup i dont remember exact number) it was few hours ago i just had to try now after all work in garden is done i'll try to make 12 k with metal and if i do i'll try to break my plastic scores.

:D

[Armitage]

:D

today i did one test run it was 11276 rpm on metal. i said good in the evening after i do my chores i'll give it a try :)

so today i decided to do metal/plastic speed runs

i started with plastic doing a 90 sec 16198 but i wasn't really trying for a record

after that a few speed runs with 250Hz they were RH about 12600 and LH about 12k

then i took my metal and first score i did was 11880 RH Only 9 rpm from my record..

after that i did a serie of RH scores and the Second metal Speed run was !

12062 !!!!! i tried a few more : 11883 11735 11813 11885 and Again 12031 11962 and Again 12059 11936 11909

then i took my new 250Hz amber pro and scores were 13183 13059 13221 13138 13222 13105 12843 12940 12892

no near my record but at least im back in 13k+ ...:)

during this i did One 90 sec run (second in this session) and it was a record one 16405 i guess i was to tired to do more and i always had a firm grip so that means i lost some revs when changing PB from left to right hand .. nevermind its a record!

in the end i tried one 30 s and also a record for me 5959 i could do more but in the end i was spinning to slowly .. too tired :(

LH scores on 350 Hz were all about 11 k but not more then 11134 i really didnt concentrate on that hand this session

250 Hz were from 12k to 12559 rpm also not bad for my weak stupidl left arm :D


Sorry Tim i didn't break my 250Hz record but at least i did get some 13 + scores :D


anyway im happy for hitting 12 k Three times! i think in next session ill add +100 rpm to the metal record.:cool:

the session was about 90 minutes long.

happy spinnign

Tim :D

[xaverr]

Congrats Tim, that are a very good scores, I hope to make that some day..., catch 12k for me now is very difficult because I don't practice to much with my metal. ( a few weeks ago I made Metal sessions and I must rest like 3-4 days, now without metal just 1-2 days, that's why I don't spin it to much).

Anyway 12K is an excellent score, Congrats!! :)

PS: Any video??? ;)

[Armitage]

thanks :D at least you wrote:D, rest for 1 day is enought for me, but i dont think ill rest tomorow :p

yeah tons of vids about 30 of them. total of 50 tries half metal hlaf plastic :D


edit1: OH damn i hate this im running the vids trought powerballyzer i have big number of scores like 11500 11250 11770 and powerballyzer shows about 11900-12100 damn it.

ill post the highest 12 k vid on youtube in couple of minutes..

edit2: metal vid : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pG2UifBFMc

[xaverr]

Nice Video Tim..., In a week you made more than I did in a few months... lol :D :eek:
Anyway, today my scores were very nice... (Metal I try just 2 time: 11.150-11.220)

My best score today was 13.764, and I rested yesterday..., maybe I should rest until Tuesday because my fingers are very bad now... :o

Now try to make some improve with your plastic Powerball, if you made 12.000 with the Metal, you should make like 14k or so with the Plastic.;)

[Armitage]

thanks, ill continue same way i dont want to lose my speed with metal i will try to have good speed with metal and plastic :D and 12062 is not my maximum i guess thats a few hundreds revs more . because when i do my maximum i can never get near it so easily and yesterday i was 3 and 31 rpm from it. and today i did one speed run just for fun and it was 11.599 rpm! so i guess with proper warmup i could beat the 12 k today :D i wont go wild like yesterday :D and your birthday is tomorow will you try to make a record? :P

[ESL]

Congratulations Armitage,:D :D :D
Hitting 12k with metal must felt pretty well:)
Now go for 13k;)

[Armitage]

well it felt the same as 11.9 :D did you say 13k?:confused: i would be happy to get 12.1 or 12.2 :rolleyes::D

[xaverr]

Heheh, I agree with you Tim, 13k is a very high score. Don't loose training with your Plastic, give it a chance to improve too.., now you are doing only Metal:D , indeed if you just practice with the 350Hz, your Plastic score will keep going down (different technique)...

Let's see a 13.5 with your plastic:D ;)

[Armitage]

yeah i know that, thats why todays session was mainly plastic i did only 7 RH runs with metal highest was 11868 only 1 with left 11127.

i improved my left i guess... 12880 and 12892 from 7 tries.
my right didnt improve but i did get tone of 13+ scores. i did about 35 tries with my RH about half of it were 13 k + but highest were 13245 13240 13226 that sucks... but i didnt rest even a day so i didnt expect much of it :D

i did improve in 90s first try was 16467 second 16422 and in the end of session 16224

Im still trying to find the right technique for RH plastic but i can't reach it i know i have the strenght to do it but even from 35 tries i couldn't figure it out.. well ill rest tomorow and in Tuesday i will see what i can do.

and I wont do Only plastic or Only metal session. I want to keep my metal scores high and find the way to do in the same time hight scores with plastic.


Tim

[xaverr]

Nice scores with your Metal, I wish to have that kind of numbers... :D

Let's see on Tuesday if you improve a little more with your plastic, anyway now you are doing almost all your scores over 13k, so It's a improve...;)

PS: I was/am celebrating my birthday since Friday...:D , Monday will be a family lunch and next weekend a little party with friends.:cool: ;)

[Armitage]

I did another session(about 40 tries 250Hz RH).... 13320 and 13287 were highest.. each session i do a little more rpm then previous.. i hope this "comeback" won't take too long .. i decided to rest a day and do the same session again until i break my record.

with my left i get several 12.7+ scores and im fine with it for now :D

only few tries with metal all of them were 11.5+ one 11.623 but i felt pain and i did not feel the strenght needed to get 11.8+. but i will keep my metal scores in shape becuase i dont wanna lose the speed :D

[xaverr]

Very nice session Tim, your score with Metal are pretty good, maybe is the support ring of my metal the reason why I can't make a nice score.
Keep training with your Plastic to improve a little more.;)

[ESL]

Hi all,
Very nice scores Armitage:) Did you try some enduarance too i find that extremely helpful:) I think with some practise your scores on the plastic will be improved cause maybe your still used to the metal's techinque:)
Although i think if you stayed with the metal you could get a score like 12.5k and more this month:D

[Armitage]

Hi, of course I did a lot of endurance, now I have the energy only for speed runs and few 90s tries :D

I see that you are faster then me now :D in plastic.
And about the metal, I could get higher thats right but I don't want to have good metal scores and poor plastic so now im working on plastic :D after i catch 14-14.5 i'll get to the metal. But do use metal every session its not like I dont touch it :D im trying to keep my speed with metal in shape too (so far its fine i can do 11.6 to 11.8 depends on my condition).

My fingers are in really bad shape the skin is torn up and its really painful (blisters are nothing i dont count them) and it has no time to heal because i do a session (hard one) then i rest a day and hard session again :D

Keep powerballing, you are good now let's see when you hit 14 k i think it will be soon if you keep this up :D

[ESL]

Hi Armitage,:D

Maybe i'm faster than you in plastic but you're far faster than me in metal;)
Hope your prediction will become true:p
Good luck with your scores too:) :) :)

[xaverr]

Hehe..., that's true, spin both balls, if you just try with the Metal, your Plastic score will fall...:)

You must rest a few days Tim, you spin a lot your balls, specially the monster ball (Metal):p

Regards!;)

[Armitage]

I'm afraid to rest more than 1 day :D

[ESL]

How much do you rest per week Armitage? If 2-3 days i think it's enough:D

[Armitage]

2 days but not one after another :D aim afraid to rest 2 days straight :D

[ESL]

aim afraid to rest 2 days straight

I've got the same fear Armitage:p

[Armitage]

I did a slight session today, highest was 13420..

[Bigzebra]

Not bad compared to your record, but the most important is you seem to retrieve your (good) level!
Also it's cool you passed 12k metal cause this one is symbolic, isn't it?

[Armitage]

I didnt understand the part with symbolic :D, anyway now im on my way to 14 k and i wont stop until i get there :D every session i improve abotu 100 revs.. not much but better than a decrease :D I know I have the strenght for 14 k, now it depends only on technique :D

[Bigzebra]

IMO between technique and strength, technique is much more difficult to get...

What i mean about 12k metal is that it's a bit like 14k plastic... When you break this score you can say you're really good...

[Armitage]

ah, yeah thats why im heding for 14 k and i wont stop until im there :D

[ESL]

Hi Armitage,
Good luck on your not-so-far-as-you-think way to 14k:D :D :D

[xaverr]

Hi Armitage, I was out a few days for my elbow problem and for my birthday..., yesterday I celebrated with my friends(like 20) in a Pub, it was really fun:D (Tomorrow a BBQ with all my cousins a family:p ) A full week of celebrating.

Did you make some session those days?, any improve?, I keep spining my balls, but relaxed and with my left:D

Regards!

[Armitage]

Hi, well I did only 10-15 mins sessions just a few spins nothing much but they were 13+ best was 13375, i did short session because i was in fitness doing some weight lifting and so on.. tomorrow i must rest so i will make "hard" session at monday and it will be 1.5-3 hours session depends on how much strenght will i have, it will be mainly plastic session (90%) and no endurance only speed!.. i hope to make a record or at least be near my old one.


Good luck with your injury i hope it will get better ! (i was thinking it was same as mine but it wasnt.. )

[xaverr]

Good luck on your Monday's session..., and My elbow is a little better. Now a have a little lesspain. I hope to recover in 10 days or so.

PS: My left workd for the 2 hands now... :D ;)

Hi, although i wanted to rest today, i just had to try and NON-warmup 12956 new left hand record, and my first spin was RH 13+(i did about 5 of them and all were 13+) ! that didn'T happen to me for a long time guess im back in the game...i wont do a session today, lets see in monday.

[ESL]

Well done Armitage:D
I'm sure soon we'll see some really nice scores from you;)

[xaverr]

Congrats Tim!, I told you..., just spin it every week and you will come back to those 13.5k+

Regards!

[Armitage]

Todays session was nothing impressive... i was thinking i could go for 2 or more hours but about 100 minutes was my maximum...:confused: the worst score was 12993 the best was 13310 almost all runs were 13+ (strange thing was i did get 13187 then 13185 and then 13186 :rolleyes: lol )

I seem to lack the extra spin that i need to make scores near my record. Any advice? There was about 40-50 spins RH plastic.. ( i had only 1 day rest is it enough?..im getting depressed abotu this again :D)

LH was not impressive too 12.6+ few times other were 12.5+..
I did one spin with metal RH 11551 and one with LH 10889..

[ESL]

Hi Armitage:)

I think your session was fine:) If you consider that a few days back you couldn't even reach 13k;)
Maybe a few days resting won't do any harm;)
Also a 100-minute session is quite a lot, i think maximum 60-70min. would be fine.:D

[Armitage]

if i rest 2 days straight i can go for 3 hours. if you read the reply i wrote on your thread you will reconsider this... :(

[xaverr]

I agree with ESL, a few days ago you can't make 13k+, 13.3k is a nice record indeed, just keep training.

PS1: My elbow is better now, I made 1 spin with that arm and was 12.1k:D , it's recovering very well..., i think that on Friday or Saturday, I will make a normal session again (I hope so)

PS2: Remember that when you rest 4 days like your friend, your scores were going down:D , maybe next time 12k will be difficult:p hehe (joke),
rest 2 days, it's always better have a break.;)

[Armitage]

i rested 4 days and lost my speed :D not my friend :D I guess ill try rest 2 days straight, maybe it helps :o

[xaverr]

hehe, i agree with you Tim, get rest 2 days..;)

[Armitage]

nothing interesting came out from resting, tons of 13+ k scores but nothing interesting :confused:

[xaverr]

M..., remember to make some endurance session. I don't recoment you to make Metal and plastic session..., maybe a little warm up with the 350Hz, but both speed technique are different, so one of both will go down...

PS: Don't worry Tim, just keep spinning, you can do more than that...;) :)

Regards!

[Armitage]

i know.. i did an endurance session at thursday but my speed is always from 13 to 13.3 k :confused:

[xaverr]

Remember that you start just a few weeks ago. 13.3k is a very good score, considering that almost all of us takes months or a year take that scores...:)

[ESL]

Hi,
I think if u continue like this your scores will begin to rise slowly, slowly:)

[Armitage]

Thanks both i hope so :D

Todays session was mainly endurance i did about 7-8 90s runs which were nice but no new record th best was 1638* other were above 16k :D ( my fastest PB seems to be in bad shape the plastic circle is cracked in 1cm place.. and it does similar sound like when you drop the ball .. i never dropped it)

I did several 30s BH few of them were like 5932 5956 not bad for me near record :d next time i make 6k+ for sure :D

but MANILY New LEFT HAND record! 13108 :D i did this AFTER left handed UPC!!! lol :eek: and i have one more 13 k on my left 13051.. my left is totally different technique comapred to right hand and its way faster i think my faster hand will be left when the time is right :D

Speed runs on RH were as usually 13+ but nothing interesting as always..:confused:

i did one UPC on each hand

LH 5246+9784+14156+13108 = 42294 new LH UPC record (last was 40637)
RH 5405+10198+14668+13022 = 43293

I see my left hand is cathing the right not only in speed but in strenght also.

No metal this session.

Maybe the sudden loss in RH speed was because of my LH speed. who knows.. no i have to make LH catch 13.5 and RH 14.. thats the goal :D

[xaverr]

Congrats for your score Tim!:D , 13k with left hand is a very nice record. A few weeks ago I made all my left score over 13.2k (13.425 is my record), but now is very difficult for me pass 13k again, I loose the technique. I think that left hand technique is not for ever (or for me)..., because my record of January I did with my left (13.192), after a few days, I didn't catch 12k. now, a few months later, I recover the technique but I lost it again, so I think that is momentarily... :( ( for me at least)

Regards!;)

[ESL]

Congratulations Armitage:D Who knows,maybe soon you'll pass 14k with the left hand rather the right:D

[Armitage]

thanks :D
I will try to make 13 k normal for left:D

[Armitage]

Todays session was endurance/LH speed im still at it i think i will last till i go sleep :D rested for two days so i have a lot of strenght

i got some LH 13004 13006 13052 13059 and a new record 13182 Whoa :D

some endurance 16194 16250 90s and some 5.8 and 5.9 30s but no record

tried a few metal runs LH 11.1 RH 11.4 nevermind that :D i did my first 30s metal run and it was 4953i guess i can get 5k+ but today is not a metal day so i wont try :)

my RH scores were not great( 12.9 and abotu five 13+) but considering that my left is making progress its fine..

i think i can make my left even higher but im not sure my thumb is going to survive it :d its burning all over..(inside the thumb)


Note: My speedy ball is vibrating ... rotor is " f i n e " but the plastic circle on which rotor moves is craced all over!!! Why??? anyone knows? Any advice?


sorry for my english im too lazy to write corectly :D

If i make some more progress today i will edit this reply :cool:

[Tstering]

Some nice scores there. Certainly very nice LH scores. It is a good idea to keep your LH and RH fairly balanced (unlike me lol).

[Armitage]

You can always change that :D few weeks ago i was happy to do 12.2 with left :( but it seems that my LH progress delayed my RH progress :D but im still happy

[xaverr]

Heheh, congrats for your record Tim!!, I hope that you can catch 13.5k again with your left or Right hand:D, keep spinning, we must have to improve a little more this year :p ;)

Regards!

[Armitage]

Yeah goddamn :D i just hope that this was last barrier (13 k LH) before my RH makes final step to 14 k :D

did a 13163 today aswell (LH)

[xaverr]

I hope that your Left score won't go down..., now my best left score is like 12.9k and a few days before was 13.4k (13.2k was very easy at that moment)

What was your best RH 250Hz score in this few days?

[Armitage]

best ... 13.2 13.3 maybe? not sure :D

[Tstering]

You can always change that :D few weeks ago i was happy to do 12.2 with left :(

I'm constantly trying to inprove my left, but much over 13K is a total struggle for me.

[petemayhew]

I'm the same as you, my left can't go over 13K very easily unless i concentrate on it the whole session and I think thats just a boring session for me. I'd rather be concentrating on my right and getting new records for the leader board. But I suppose it would help in the long run with endurance and dual. :rolleyes:

[Tstering]

Totally know what you mean Pete. I just find it boring using my LH. I really should concentrate on it and get it nearer 14K but just can't bring myself to do it.

[ESL]

Hi Tstering and petemayhew:D
How about doing dual runs so you'll use both your left and right hand:D ;)

[Tstering]

Exactly what i was doing the other night. Really struggle to co-ordinate thoughas my arms are different speeds. I sometimes hit near 13K LH but RH will be rubbish (low 13ks). And others i'll get my RH working well and get 14K but LH will be only in the 11Ks. Hopeully with practice i can get both to work at the same time.

[xaverr]

Hehe, I try with Dual Run too. Best score were: 13250(Left)--13.150(right)...:)

[Armitage]

Hi, i didn't write here for some time :). I was doing some endurance sessions and i tried few dual runs and they look fine i was near my previous record (just few rpm) i need more coordination and i need to get my scores to 13 k in both hans at same time, though need some practise :p i'll keep you posted :D

My right hand is not hitting any high scores lately but i think that is because my left improved to 13k+ :rolleyes:.. it's getting anoying i want to make some damn new record with my right :(.

Any tips how to improve speed? lot of 30s maybe?(both handed or only R handed?) i have no idea but now i want to concentrate on breaking 14 k with my right !! but i dont know where to start! All tips are appreciated :D

[ESL]

Hi Armitage:)
Very nice score you got:D ;) Congrats!:D I'm not an expert on this but i think that 30s will help speed:D

[Armitage]

:D:D just bought some PBs!!!!!!!! :eek::D

Unfortunately I'm not going to use them :D (except those 2 under siggy and all those which are not in boxes) I'm going to sell them :o


Wish me luck :rolleyes::D

[xaverr]

LoL, a lot of Powerballs..., you were lost for a few days :D, i hope that you can catch 13.5k again very soon, was were your last scores???

Regards!

[Armitage]

last session was 12956 best :rolleyes: with left hand :D right was a little under ... session before left was few times 13+ and right was 13+ too. well i want to train my right now... no idea how :D

[xaverr]

13k+ is always nice... ;)

Today I made a few runs, 11.6k best with Metal (like 6 runs) and 13.3k best with my Regular..., my elbow is not completely heal yet...:( :confused:

[ESL]

Hi everyone:D
xaverr,I really think that you should rest a bit more although you it's difficult after some high scores;) By keep powerballing you'll do more damage than you think:)

Anyway,Armitage you've got a huge collection if we considered the date you started:D I only got 3 :( (Neon,regular,metal) and started a few weeks before you.Though maybe i'll get one for Christmas:D

PS: What's that balck ball infront of the metal box? a techno? a signature's edition?:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Armitage]

that's a metal :D

As i said unfortunately im not going to use these balls :D just sell them.

[ESL]

Ooohhh, just read the full sentence:o It's a pitty you can't keep them:(
But how can that ball be a metal?:confused: it's so black, i thought metals were only silver:confused:

[Installed]

Nice collection! ESL, the metal in the picture is only reflecting the black color from its surroundings. Brand new, it is every bit as reflective as a mirror.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :D

[xaverr]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :D

LOL..... :p

[Armitage]

I had a few days rest (because i had no time for proper powerballing) yesterday i made proper session and it seems that my fastest ball is broken, its vibrating a lot and i cant go 13 k with it...

I did few metal runs and the scores were LH 11165 and 11539 RH

and two 30s runs 4998 and 4931

with the platic the best 30s was 5902 and 90s was best around 16.2 k

speed runs.. LH was around 12.9 and RH was about the same... just a little higher.

when i found out that my fast ball sucks i picked one of new balls (that i reserved for myself from the bunch of balls for selling) and i did 1 spin RH and it was 13124....

Now im wondering when i start using this ball in todays session how should i run it? should i start doing speed runs right ahead? or i should do some endurance on it ??? I would really Appreciate any tips ON that!!! because i want this one to be as fast as possible and i want it to last long :D

[ESL]

Hi Armitage:D
What i say is just use it.:D I don't think that the ball is effected differently when you use it for endurance or speed run, it just spins:D
I've had my 250Hz pro for 2 months.At the beginning i was using it only for high scores but later on i started using it as a warm up ball too and till now it's very good (i think):D

[Armitage]

erm.. the ball that is broken,.... it was new i bought it with metal! and i donw know if its my technique or what the circle plastic thing on which powerball slides is getting cracked after a month using by me :D:(

[ESL]

Ooops:o :D Thought you were talking about the new one:o :D As for that i think since it's vibrating you can't do anything than replacing the rotor.:)

[xaverr]

Hi Armitage!!:) , about your new Ball..., try to spin it at 10k or so for a few minutes (like 10 min) and then try to make records, when you use it for first time, is much slower than after a few minutes of spin.

Regards!;)

[Armitage]

ok xaver i will do it like that :) in this evening session!

im going to run a webpage about powerballs with e-shop :D wish me luck :)

[ESL]

Hi,:D
How much do you sell them? Do you sell a screamer?:confused: :D

[Installed]

Gimme a discount!!! :D

:rolleyes:

[Armitage]

I have 3 different prices :D one for e-shop one for shop in my office and the last is for personal delivering :D


Ok now about my session today i broke four records, unfortunately no RH speed record :'(

30s new record 6034!!! Finally broke the 6 k barrier :cool: (Gripper)

90s new record 16569 and i used older ball and i got 16648 next goal is 17 k :D (It's gripper score ofc)

I broke my left speed record by about 200 rpm, and i had really nice and much of 13+ scores

12899 12717 12844 12949 13061 13338 13163 13205 13206 13053 13252 13192 13237 13250 13094 13140 13138 13125 13236 and then i stopped not because i felt tired i had a lot of strenght left but my left hand thumb was in great pain i couldnt touch the PB :(

Right hand scores were ehm lower but alsot around 13 k
13170 was highest.. i seem to lack the technique with my right !!! dont know how to repair it :(

I made veery nice dual hand scores.

i hade nicely synchronized 12856 and 12852! :eek:

12877 13037 = 25914 -- i have video of this one :D
13118 12839 = 25957 new record! dont have it on tape thought.. :D
13059 12851 = 25910

[ESL]

:D Many congratulations Armitage:D , it must be really nice to break many records in just one session:D ;)

[LTLFTC]

Nice work on the 30's very satisfying to crack 6k the first time

[ronasor]

Great scores, personally im impressed, although youve sayed you lack technique with your right hand, try working out more with your left hand because some people say that your undominate hand will provide better scores, I find it true and thats why im sorry for not keep raising scores with my right hand... also im shooked up you've reached 6k, congratulations :D

[Armitage]

Thanks guys :D

Next session i will try to coordinate my hands in dual and i will try to improve left again.

I have just noticed that my speed runs are only about wrist rotation... no pulses with arm.. Is that wrong? maybe its the reason why my right hand doesnt improve??

[ronasor]

Im not sure about the wrist rotations and the pulses because I havnt mastered my technique yet...
but Ill advice you to have many dual-endurance runs so youll get better grip with bouth of your hands and eventually improve your right hand as it used to be, Ive done half of this (many runs with the techno only on my right hand) and im almost catching up with my right hand highscore, im having about 10800 with it so im quite close :)
and also use your right hand at low speeds and try some counter wrist movements than the ones your using... it will get you speeded up in no time

Good luck mate :D!

Ron

[Armitage]

Thanks, I've never tried dual endurance before. I tried counter-clockwise on my right but i get score about 9 k and it feel unnatural i dont like it. :D

[ronasor]

you better start liking it, it will improve your hands mobility :D.
guaranteed :P.

[xaverr]

Nice Session Armitage, maybe my new technique will help you, my last tech was very similar that the one you use in your videos..., try to make a sess with Pako's tech. in his video of 14.6 (screamer), my tech is very similar... :p

Regards!

[Armitage]

yeah i saw it.. well my left handed technique is while i sit in my computer chair :rolleyes: but as for right hand im now trying to make it do the same technique as left because i want my hands to be synchronized so far 12.9-13.1 on right with this technique... who knows maybe Pakos technique will work for my right :)

[xaverr]

Try some speed runs with that, when I try it, my first was 13.3k then 13.5k and finally 13.8k... ;), pulsing is much more confortable (or at least for me)

[Armitage]

Hi, todays session was about 150 mins long some endurance and some speed runs + few duals

90s ..... 16354 16136 16459 16438 16432 no ed tech.
30s ..... 5923 5994 6101 6120 6069 5895(in last min of session). no ed tech

Speed runs LH : 12906 COLD RUN 13057 12714 12765 12907 12794 12821 13117 13075 13062 13011 13229 13152 13309 13086 12963 13289 13350 13022 13282 13083 13025 13104

i think that my left is being better and better every session :D

Speed runs RH: i tried four different techniques (yes Pakos technique too) : 12778 12870 12767 12729 13097(akis technique) 13119 13017 13013 12986 13034 12933 12968 13062 12961 13020 .... ehm i know i have the damn strenght to dom 500 revs more without much struggling but i dont knwo wheres the prob.

tried a dual in akis style :D i did get one nice score both 12.9 + but i couldnt make it again it was unbalanced because of the balls one is new and one is old and they rotates differently :D

i will do a lot of endurance this week and then i will do a "peak" runs marathon for as long as i can survive and we will see if i can do a new record :D

new record on 30s is really nice for me But... i lose a lot of speed while changing ball from left to right...:o

[xaverr]

Congrats Tim!, my actual record in 30 sec. is like 6.250 rpm...

I know that you can make much more, but considering just the few weeks since you started, 13k every session is not so bad.:)

Regards!

[Armitage]

Thanks, then you should update your signature :D

[Adrena1in]

new record on 30s is really nice for me But... i lose a lot of speed while changing ball from left to right...:o

Your scores are very balanced between your left and right hand, but what can you score in 30s if you don't change hands? I never do on 30s, but that's probably because my left hand is, in comparison to my right, really slow. :o

[Armitage]

hmm actually i dont know if my righ would last 30 sec in 12+ :o

but when i run it with powerballyzer, left was from 11.9 to 12.2 and right was 12+ to 12.6 so my right is definetely stronger.

I know you wrote somewhere that you rather dont change your hands during the 30s (but thats for you) im not the powerball enduracne champion :D:D
And when i read that Akis is having 10 hours sessions my eyes almost popped out :D. There is a lot work for me to do.

Tim do you have any idea why my right speed decreased so much? month and half ago i could do 13 k while cold (and it wasnt just once i did it whenever i wanted even at school and all my sessions were 13+ with my right, left was 12.2 at best that time)

[Tstering]

Nice session there Armitage.

I'd also recommend not changing during a 30s run. You may be surprised how well you do.

[Armitage]

I will surely try one handed 30s :D but i want to make 17 k gripper in 90s i think im capable of it i just need to perform it rigtly and i cant mess up the hand changes ( i start with left rotor pointed to hand lh-20s rh-30s lh-20s rh-20s)

[Adrena1in]

...but i want to make 17 k gripper in 90s i think im capable of it

I think you are capable of it too. When I first did 17k 90s my speed scores were about the same as yours, but I was generally only managing about 13k with either hand.

[ESL]

Very nice session Armitage:D Though i don't think that you'll do better with one-handed endurance:) But try it it may work...;)

[Armitage]

Thanks all for comments, i will do a lot of endurance this week i hope more endurance -> more speed rule will work :D

[xaverr]

Congrats for your Scores Armitage, I know that 13k+ will come soon, just don't give up and keep spinning that little ball :p
Today I made a seesion and Made 6070 rpm 30 sec, with one hand..., it's very difficult :D

Regards!

[Installed]

Some endurance would do ya good.

[Armitage]

yeah, but im not allowed to spin because im ill :o

[Armitage]

although im not allowed to spin i did 2 cold runs with my left first was 12927 and second was 13216 :eek: cooold!!

[xaverr]

Congrats Tim, 13.2k in Cold, is very very nice..., indeed I have a few 13.8k the other day, so I thought that 15k will be easy :p :D , but I can't pass that cold score (when I was in a hot or semi hot mode), I hope that this don't happen to you..;)

[Armitage]

Yeah, about that you wrote at esl thread: I certainly lost my technique with my right hand. no doubt it :( i just don't know how to spin it i can sustain the 12.4 speed for 15+ seconds but i dont know how to accerelate to 13+ the best i did with my right lately was 13.1 :(. I will just have to try more and sustain One or two techniques tops... now i have abotu four of them and the results are all the same.

I'm still not allowed to spin (and after that cold run with left yesterday ehm something is now wrong in my arm its painful when i for example lift my briefcase) stupid me :D

[Armitage]

So far nothing interesting happening here :D
I think i found the right technique for my RH i will stick with it and i hope it will bring some kind of RH "comeback" :D

[xaverr]

Let see the score of that new tech soon...;) , don't give up

PS: Jihmmie catch 14k today:( :D

[Armitage]

Yeah I know some talent he is :D, still I'm a young powerballer I have plently of time I think I will get very nice scores in a year :D:D. Give up? Never :D

what do you think about my new signature? Took me while to do it :D

[xaverr]

Nice signature, I see that you like Dragon Ball, I liked it too...;)

Regards!!

[Armitage]

:D I'm an anime freak (otaku). I like lot of anime :D, but DBZ/GT reminds me of my childhood so I like it the most :D. Also I made a new avatar ( I like making stuff like this :D)

Nice avatar and signature Armitage:D Though here in my country Dragon Ball isn't much popular.

[Armitage]

Nice scores

Dbz is the reason why my points dropped badly in high school :D it was the best !!!!!!


I know what you mean :D now i have all episodes of DB DBZ DBGT and all DBZ Movies :o wathed all about 10 times (DB 100 series DBZ 276 DBGT 64 and 14 movies with some specials too :D )

ESL: Same here, I watched it on RTL7 (poland televison) or cartoon network :D

[BigPoppaPump]

wish i had all that episodes,your lucky :D

i have only seen a couple of gt like 2 or so episodes

Vegeta freak :o

[Armitage]

I downloaded it all from torrents. My connection is very slow (1mb/s) so it took me few weeks :D

[ESL]

My connection is very slow (1mb/s)

You call that slow????? Mine is 46kbps:D :p

[Armitage]

lol :D I used to have 8 mb/s and download was 1200 kb/s so yes i call it slow :D

[Armitage]

I had a proper session today :D

I did a lot of 30s runs like Jihmmie said to do(about 10 the best was 5995). And it paid off.

I had some really nice scores for my LH : 13336 13354 13219 13303 13125 13352 13071 13124. My record is 13388 on LH so i was really close few times! i think i can do 13.5 but i need the extra push :D when i did these 13.3+ i was in my hot mode for LH i guess :D because half a hour before LH scores were just 12.9-13.1

RH was bad when i tried with one ball scores were 12700+ to 13049
BUT when i did a dual i did get 13100 RH!!!! and with left 13122 OMG! All other Duals were one hand 13+ other 12.8 or 12.9 Finally i broke the 26k dual [26222] Nice score EH?:D:D:D! unfortunately no vid i hope the 25957 is enought to prove it. I've got couple of 25.9 vids.

I've got a little motivated :D So for now i will do a lot of 30s per session, to hell with all other i need to finally get some speed records :( and i dont care if it's going to be RH or LH!

[leg51]

well done !!


go to break the 26k5

leg51 :) :)

[xaverr]

Congrats Armitage, 13.3k is a nice score, and you pass that a few times..., I also did a session today and it was great too!!

PS: Nice..., 26k in Dual is a nice Record, I want to see a video of that. :)

Keep training my friend. ;)

Regards!

[Armitage]

go to break the 26k5

Thanks but, it's
impossible :D the highest score these days with RH was about 13.2
It would be a miracle to get 13.3 left and 13.2 right :( Im satisfied with the score for now (i just want to make a vid of 26k)

next session will be called : "How many 30s can you withstand?" :D:D

I guess twenty will be my limit who knows :D it surely will be a killer session.


Javier: Some nice scores you have :) I will keep trying to catch up to you :D After seeing your 30s i must say you are in very good form and on a higher level than me (plastic) :D. I'm thinking if i should buy that gripper you use :p
I will try to make a vid of 26 next session between the 30s and of course i will train hardly for the next upcoming year! i want to be in next championship, i mean participating this time i'm just coming to see it. I'm still a newbie here i can't imagine where will i be if i spin long as you :D


Sorry for mistakes i'm too lazy to read it again and correct them :D

[xaverr]

lol, the gripper? hhehe:D :p I recommend you One, a lot of people here have that ones (from ironmind, indeed, now I'll buy the N°1.5)

PS: I think that I can more than 26.5k in Dual. Yesterday my left score were like 13.3, so I think that I can do a 13.2(L) and 13.5(R)

Regards!!

[jihmmie]

Its good to hear you had a nice session yesterday Armitage!

[ESL]

Very nice session Armitage:D keep going and your scores will improve ;)

[Armitage]

thanks for comments :)

I rested one day and did that finger killing session however they don't hurt so much but my arms are exhausted.

No interesting scores were made so i will just post numbers of them.

15 BH 30s from which 4 were 5.9+ the best was 5970 5965 5962
3 BH 90s from which the best was 16365
30 LH speed runs from which the best was 13171
20 RH speed runs from which the best was only 12925
5 dual runs... erm none of them were good i couldn't get them synchronized well. (the best was 12735/12891)
and just tried few metal runs 4 LH 10750 10946 10773 10821 and 4 RH 11076 11205 11047 10826 :o

erm... as i said no good scores but i think as a training it's good session :D
it was 2 and half hours long.

[xaverr]

A LOTT of endurance there!!!, I'll be dead after that..., your Metal score are goind down too..., or that score were after all, so your muscles were so much tired??(I think so;) )

Keep training like that, and take a few days of rest after this monster session:p . Now I think that I'll spin like 2 days per week. 3 times per week is to much, maybe I'll try 3 times, 2 very intense, and 1 little endurance:D

Regards!

[Armitage]

I didn't use metal for a month so no wonder and yes i tried it after cca 10 30s runs so i was tired :D. I'll make the same session tomorow.

[ESL]

Hi:D
I think you had a nice session there:) Though i don't like mixing up metal and plastic in one session:o :D

[Armitage]

I've had another session..

several of 30s best of them was 5961
few 90s the best was 16249
lots of LH speed runs the best was 13251
lots of RH speed runs the best was 12943 (got few more 12.9 and lots of 12.8) this damn hand is getting slow..
I did lots of dual hand but when left was 13+ right was 200 revs under.. erm lots of 12.8 or 12.9 on both hands scores... but no 13k and 13k scores:(

in the end i tried some metal runs
11237 rpm on LH so close to record but i was too tired
one 30s which was 4967..

after this session my skin on fingers is hurting a lot :D:D

[ESL]

Don't worry Armitage:D Keep trying and soon you'll be back to those 13.5+ scores;)

[Armitage]

yeah im doing so about 2 months now :(

[Armitage]

I had a short session about 20 mins long. I was vacuuming and after that i made few spins, LH 12.8 12.8 13231, 13207, 13284, 13110, 13163, 13146 then 16248 90s and 5891 30s a few metal spins (lh 11007) RH was weaker at speed runs with plastic as always...

[ESL]

Nice session Armitage:)
Don't worry about your right hand. Maybe you're a true left-hander:D ;)
Is your right hand better than the left at endurance:confused:
Keep going;)

[Armitage]

:D yeah RH is much stronger but left is faster :D anyway i did not powerball for a WEEK! it was my longest break (i had no time for powerballing).

[ESL]

Armitage, my case is exactly the same though with opposite hands:D My right is faster and (as i have realised during my UPCs) left is better at endurance:D

[xaverr]

Congrats Tim!, nice session there..., a few 13.2k+ in nice indeed. Anyway I think that you can do much more than 13.5k. Try watching your videos of youtube, maybe that will help. I remember a month ago, when I can't pass 13.4k, I change my tech that day and catch 13.820..., the problem was that this tech was in my hand just a few days... :D

Regards!

[Armitage]

Hi, I was playing with my junk ball (no counter) Actually I was playing with ED tech on it...i thought i could try a 90s ED with this junk ball... so i was watching TV and without clock i just started and ehm 16853 :eek: then i washed my hands and with thought that i can do 17 k if i try i tried :D (tape too ofc) and w00t 17419 ! a rested 1-2 minutes and i tried to use more left hand and w00t 17698!!! after that i rested about 3 minutes and i said myself now or never :D and 17 821 !!! With my JUNK ball!!! after that i resed few minutes and next one 17505 i was tired... i tried speed run and 13.1 with left was no problem.. (strange junk ball isnt it? i never clean it i play with ed tech with it i stop it on clothes ?!?) what does this mean?! :Di tried few dual runs 12.5/12.5 i did not put the balls down then 12.6/12.6 still not puting down the balls 12.7/12.7 stil not puting the balls down 12.8/12.8 auch my hands hurts too much i stop video and rest a min... then i take balls and do my last dual and LH was 13043 and RH slipped only 12.5 :'(

Anyway this Burst technique rulez even thought my ball could be damaged i don't care it's just a junk ball, anyway huge jump for me :eek:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcXgQBylN2M

[ESL]

Wow :eek: Well done Armitage:D ;) You surely can get 18k with a little more try;) Though don't forget that grip technique exercises you better:D ;)

[Armitage]

I agree that i may try to get 18k! But i think the ED tech might help increase my speed.

Thanks for the comment (at least you noticed my hapiness ^_^)

[Armitage]

I AM AN IDIOT :D

Just deleted my score on one 250hz..

so i decided that i might try to hit 13 k with left at least (the ball is good..one of my best)

unfortunately i had a session today and 12.9 was max :(


now without warmup 12960 13123 and 13196 :D no warmup just 3 spins

i see that you need good motivation to get a higher scores :D

[ESL]

Nice scores Armitage:D ;)
As for the score, don't worry i'm sure you'll beat it soon;)

[xaverr]

Nice scores Armitage. 13.2k in a cold mode is a NICE score. Indeed I got very similar scores in cold. (Maybe you should have to improve more your tech, or make a few 30 sec. with the same tech of your Speed runs...):)

Regards!

[ronasor]

well, i can tell you that when i had my 11200~ at my signature and my cousin erased it, i was bummed, but later on i catched out with 11300~ , so somtimes it even more motivative to delete your score ;) (you know, just to see the score blinks :D)

[Armitage]

I did a short about 30 min session with fresh memories from the championship :D


The scores are written the way i did them.. the speed scores are ALL with my LEFT hand

no warmup....13163 13076 13329 13079 12938 12904 13082 13136 12867 17587(90s ed tech) 13155 13362 13151 13381(w00t so close) 13279 13044 6114(so close.. :D) 13094 12860 13104 13155 13076 12968 16625 (90s gripper) 12850


for my left hand it was great session also i was very close to my 30s record, 90s record and few rpms from speed record for my left..


I'll make another session soon :)

[ESL]

Very nice scores Armitage;) :D
keep going;) :)

[xaverr]

Congrats for your score Armitage, your scores are improving too, just like ESL.

PS: Try to make a 90 sec. and 30 sec. when you start, not in the end...
PS2: My 90 sec. grip is very similar to your 90 sec. Ed, I will try to make a session with a BAD rotor to see if I can make 18 k... :rolleyes:

Regards!

[Armitage]

are you kidding me if you CAN make 18 k? im sure you can make 18.5

and thanks for the comments i will concentrate on left hand now :D

[Tstering]

Nice session you had there Armitage. Some nice consistent scoring close to your record. I'm sure It won't be that long now until you reach 14K.

[xaverr]

Hehe, thanks Armitage, maybe tomorrow I will try a Ed 90 sec, but just to see what can I do, indeed I want to improve my 90 sec. Grip, because that's the only way to improves my speed scores, more than Ed's scores... :rolleyes: ;)

PS: When will be your next session?? :p

Regards!!

[Armitage]

Nice session you had there Armitage. Some nice consistent scoring close to your record. I'm sure It won't be that long now until you reach 14K.


Thanks but, no record breaking before new year :( i catched a flu, everything hurts so i can't powerball.(not speaking about huge blister on my left thumb) But i will have time to upload the vids, do you know a good site?! where videos can be seen and downloaded (lenght of videos more then 10 mins)

Seems like i can put some of the isometric training, its my first time i was ill since i started powerballing so it will be my longest break :eek:.

Javier, no session.. go for it you can do a very good score i know it! And break the 14 k im sure you can do it and look at Paul he broke his 13.7 to 14.1, and on a neon!!! You can do it too :)

[jihmmie]

Google video has unlimited length for uploads, but it is limited to 100 MB...and you can download the original video anytime, but not any of the visitors/viewers.

[xaverr]

Thanks Armitage, maybe I will try other session on Saturday and I hope to catch at least 13.8k!!, is my Fu***ng tech!!, the same tech, but pulsing a little more, or holding it 1 sec. more, I improve like 400 rpms...! (Friday is my Graduation Party) get better of your flu Tim, nice video you upload there! ;)

Regards!

[Armitage]

have fun on your party :D
try to practise that pulsing technique, when i try speed runs it depends on how much willpower i put in it :D

[Armitage]

I cant spin much since im ill but i got techno for christmas and i want to report that it has fault rotor or im a new 15 k + powerballer :D i guess not... i remember somebody posted a way to get hight score on techno,... when i spin and the blue neon lights as i spin more than 12 k i stop and then its 14 k or 15 k :( so i actually do not know how much can i spin it i did get some 12 13 14 and one 15 k score lol ^^

[xaverr]

I have a techno for Xcris too!! (and a Screamer, bought from myself:p ), today in the night I will open it. I don't know very much about techno too, so probably I will check the old threads about that Powerball..., put Powerball techno in Youtube and you will see that video of 15k :p

Regards!;)

[Pako]

Feliz Navidad, Xaverr.

disfruta de tu Techno ;) Y no despiertes a los vecinos con la soundball :D

Pako.

[xaverr]

Gracias Pako!, me siento un poco raro hablando Español en este foro..., no creo que hayan quejas, ya que hago pesas y Powerball en una casa que arrendamos al lado de la nuestra, y siempre pongo mucha musica... ( De hecho mi familia me mando a hacer Powerball alla por el ruido)

Feliz Navidad y Prospero año nuevo para ti tambien... ;)

Translate: :rolleyes: :p

Thanks Pako, blabla... :D ,I don't think that my neighbour will said something bad about the noise of my Screamer... blabla :p

Merry Xris and a Happy New YEar... ;) :D ( To all indeed)

[ESL]

Too bad Armitage:( Does it always give wrong results? or rarely:confused:
PS:xaverr, you speak Spanish:eek: :D ;)

[Armitage]

not always, only if i go 12 k + and in the peak moment i let go of grip :rolleyes: :D

[xaverr]

Yes, my natal lenguage is the Spanish...:p , that's why my english is not very good... About my new Powerballs, are great!!, the techno is very cool, but I can't read my scores.. :confused: :) hehe, I need to read a little about how to use it (and about the lines and all that things), the screamer hehe LOL, the noise is like an ambulance, but there was a mystake, I bought a Pro Screamer, and they sent me a regular Screamer...:( , I will send a mail to Powerballs to send me the Counter. Happy Xris to all!!

What Santa Claus wring to you??:D

Regards!

[Armitage]

[ESL]

Nice session Armitage:D Though don't let 10 days pass to make a new session, you need to practise;) very good left hand scores all over 13k;) :)
Keep going;) :D

[Tstering]

NIce session there Armitage. It shouldn't be to long till you hit 14K i would say.

[Installed]

so 10 days without session, today i made one :D i started with UPC RH speed was as always crappy under 13 k..
I have not yet had a good speed session after a UPC.

Your LH scores are great! And I was just noticing your 17.8k Ed Tech score... you remind me of myself about a year ago, except your speed is a bit higher.

[xaverr]

Nice Left Score Armitage, I agree with ESL about your session..., try to make at least 2 per week ;) :)

[Armitage]

Javier&ESL: I was ill !!! i couldnt spin :D + the huge blister on my lef thumb.

Stephen: I must say that this burst technique imressed me :D i always start my sessions with 90s or few 30s (gripper) this time because of the big 10 days rest i started with upc i thought i need some extra spin to wake up the arms :D the 13199 was speed in LH UPC. i cant count the upc it was 437xx because in the end of 90s i could hold the ball so so i entered ed tech for few secs..

James: If you think so then i will have to add few revs :D

I will make same session tomorrow (exept the UPC ill start with something easier..)

[ESL]

Javier&ESL: I was ill !!! i couldnt spin :D + the huge blister on my lef thumb

Oooh.Then you are excused.Though i won't accept this again!Do i make myself clear?:p :p :D :D ;)

[xaverr]

Heheh, I forgot that Armitage..., you were ill!! :p ,sorry! ;)

Take care of you and let see tomorrow's session... :D

Regards!

[Armitage]

[Tstering]

Nice session there Armitage.
I can't seem to find anywhere selling SurGrip at the moment. Once i find an internet site that is selling it though I'll post you the link.

[ESL]

Very nice session Armitage:) It seems you're catching me up;) I also see better results when i wash my hands with cold water, ifind i can grip better the ball;) :D

[xaverr]

Nice Left score Armitage, my liquid magnesium helps me a lot!,if you watch my videos, you can see that the first few sec. I touch a plastic chair(a little of liquid magnesium, a little of watter and then touching the plastic chair, my hands are VERY nice to make Powerball) I recommend that to all, probably someone will improve a few hundreds their score... ;) :)

PS: Try searching in Internet for: "Liquid Magnesium..." ;)

Regards!

[Pako]

Long before I used liquid magnesium. It really helped me.

But after that, that stuff was worse. It looked like the powerball had more chance to slip from my hands. I don't know why.

It happened the same when I tried at Telford. When I talked to Dennis, he said the same. Akis recommended to put some alcohol afterwards.

Does anybody know why that happens? maybe too much magnesium on the surface of the hand, make it more slippery?

I've also tried some stuff which is more like resine, and believe me, you don't want to try it with the Metal... it rips off the skin, and even the counter cover, very easily :D :D

Pako.

[Armitage]

Thanks all :D

This surgrip is something more like silicone gel then magnesium liquid or am i wrong?

[xaverr]

About your Post Pako, I put the solution,in spanish is like... luego de que se seque el magnesio, mojate un poco las manos con un paño humedo y despues toca algo de plastico, te va a dar un agarre increible!! ;)

About your question Armitage, I don't have a surgrip, so I can't compare them...:o

[ESL]

Pako, maybe you put too much of it and it takes a lot of time to dry. Don't really know:confused:
Do these things really work?:confused: Do they prevent your hands from swetting?:confused:
I'd also wanted to try it one day.I'll search and see;) :D
To be honest, you're good promoters:p :D ;)

[xaverr]

Buy a handgrip and that liquid magnesium, you will see the results for yourself... ;)

PS: I put some bandage? (here is a picture (http://www.usumacinta.com.mx/Contenido/Articulos%20y%20reportajes/R%20Sierra/Curita.jpg)), that prevent me of the blisters...(I put it before I have some blister..., helps me a lot, the day of resting went down a lot :p ;) )

Regards!

[Armitage]

I have hundreds of those :p but i use them only when i train, when i make speed sessions i cant use them because ball is slipping away.

[xaverr]

I have the same problem..., indeed that picture was not the best, It's more like this (http://www.rcjuampa.com.ar/images/3M-Hinge.jpg).... :p ;)

[Armitage]

I dont have this but i saw Paco using something similar.

[Pako]

Pako, not Paco :p

These are exactly the ones I use:


http://mevesur.com/tienda/nfoscomm/catalog/images/Esparadrapo_papel_leukopor_10.10.jpg

http://mevesur.com/tienda/nfoscomm/catalog/images/Omniplast.jpg

You can have them in several widths.

The first one is very thin, like paper, and can tore while powerballing, in which case I put more over it. The second one is stronger, and using the powerball for some minutes, leaves the ball sticky... and I prefer a sticky powerball than having my hands sticky ;)

Pako.

[Armitage]

I remember those people on airport said the right is "Paco" so i've been using that since that post :D.

[Armitage]

I had a 40 mins session today. I didn't have time to powerball, because of exams. I came out with lots of left hand 13+ best was 13359.

[xaverr]

Heheh, exams??, In my country we are in Summer, in holidays until 10 of March :p ;)

nice Left score anyway Armitage! :) ;)

[ESL]

Nice there Armitage:) Keep trying and u'll be to 13.6k+ again soon;) :)

[Armitage]

Yeah exams half of school year here soon ^^. I need to close all marks. So far good :p. btw session was full of 13+

I have high expectations but i need to make more sessions and i dont have much free time :(
