View Full Version : ESL's scores and progress
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
I thought it was about time to start my thread here before i forget when and what my scores were (not that now i'm totaly sure for the information beneath:p )
I know that on a thread i told you that i have a nephew who is 13 years old and i asked you if it's fine for him to use the metal,though the truth is i'm that "nephew" and i wanted advices.So i apologise for that lie.:o :o :o
So i'm a 13 years old boy(don't let my avatar confuse you,I'm not that old:D )who started powerballing in the middle of this July,i think on the 17th, a few days before that date i didin't even now what a powerball is and then my uncle gave me one for a present.I was fascinated, it was ultimate product and since then i've never put it down:D
In 2 weeks i managed to reach a score about 12.3k.
In the middle my powerball started to vibrate and sent it for repairing.
At the begginig of September i bought a 250Hz pro blue(my other one was Neon Green) and a metal then it was when signed up in this forum.
Then i improved my score to 12.6k and then to 12.8.On the 17th of sept.(i think:p ) i past through the 13k club with 13089.Meanwhile my Neon came back and i managed with that 13026. Though unfortunately i cleared my highest score (accidentaly of course:) ) and i was left with 13026 after that i got 130174,to into 1303**,to13504,to 13543 last Monday.:D
Now for the metal, i don't really remmber my scores though my highest is 11033.Though right now i focus onthe plastic and my scores are 10.2 k or something.
Now my goals are of course 14k with plastic and later on i''l see what ican do with the metal.
At the moment i'm resting,though this is hardest part of the session:D
Lets see what i can do tomorrow;)
Anyway this is me :)

Very nice progress for your age!!! But you should not forget about your other hand and try to make them even or at least close to that :D. Anyway Nice job..!! Keep it up.
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
I know i should rest today though the temptation was high.:o
I gave it a go and after a good warm up i got lots of good scores.
I didn't got a new record though i was fairly close. i got lots of scores of 13.3k+ and the highest was 13470(just 74rpm more and i could break my record:mad: )
Anyway maybe tromorrow;)

Hey
13.5k and you're 13! WoW!:eek: you sound like a future world champ!
Keep going and as armitage said, don't forget about your other hand or you could regret it later!
Hi Armitage and thanks for the comments,
But you should not forget about your other hand and try to make them even or at least close to that :D.
My left hand score is 120** i know it's not very good though when i practise i train also that one.
Anyway right now i want to pass 14k and then i'll focus on it.:)
13.5k and you're 13! WoW!
If you first look at me you won't think i'm 13.:p
Congrats ESL, 13.5k is a very high score...,specially if you are 13 ;)
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
I've read somewhere that high-rpm powerballers think that it's all about grip,so i just wondered what can i use to improve my grip?
Any advices will be welcomed :D
Try cleaning your Powerball and your hand, or if you want a better grip and hands dry..., buy liquid magnesium or Surgrip..., works veryyyy well ;)
Hi,:) :) :)
I do wash my hands every 10 min. though i want to go for the Surgrip.;)
I just wanted to ask if it dries your hands till you wash them or does it make your hands dry and rough for ever 'cause my hands are quite soft and i don't wnt them to become rough.:D
And another thing where did you buy your Surgrip?From the internet?:confused:
Hi,
Just to inform you about today's session,
First of all i want to say that i'm a big stupid donkey:p ,i cleared my score (accidentely of course) and now it's 13419.:( Anyway never mind maybe soon i'll pass my old one:D ;)
I got some scores over 13k and quite alot under that like 12.7,12.5 or 12.8 i think this is because yesterday that i was supposed to rest i didn't(i need to get my daily dose:p :D :p )
Any way maybe i'll get a new score tomorrow(:D hopefully:D )
Hi..., I bought it from Internet (CHile), from here... http://www.andesgear.cl/default.asp?prodtypelist=&prodstock=100160293
search in internet or ask for someone of the forum that is from the same country as you.
The Liquid magnesium dry your hands for a few minutes, like 20 minute or so, not for ever, if you wash your hands, they will be soft like ever:D ;) , don't worry...
---edit---
I made the same mystake a months ago..., then I passed my record the same day :) ,anyway 13.4k is a nice score ;)
Regards!
Thanks xaverr,
I don't understand a word from the link:p but i'll search and buy one. :D
Now, i'm from Cyprus is there anyone who's from there too and owns a Surgrip and tell my where he bought it from:confused: :confused: :confused:
Heheh, the link was to show you what's the magneiusm liquid is like... :p
Heheh, the link was to show you what's the magneiusm liquid is like... :p
Aaaaahhhhh:D :p :D :p :D
look this post, here are some web over the word, maybe one is from your country...
http://www.powerballs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2196&highlight=suregrip
Bye!
Thanks,
I found a spray in one of the links though not Surgrip or liquid magnesium i'll see if i'll buy it.Thanks:D
Ok, if you buy it tell me if it's works for you...;)
Try putting this in google: Beal Pure Grip 250 ml (http://www.dakosports.cl/final/product_info.php?products_id=391&osCsid=20a8d5468b6e8df3e47e4141529ebe1c) or liquid magnesium Mammut 200 ml
I found this for you http://www.cham3s.com/pure-grip-250-ml,2098,p.html ( you can send it to a lot of countrys)
Regards!
Hi everybody,:) :) :)
Todays session wasn't very good but wasn't too bad either.:D I started with my metal and then back to plastic.These days my scores on metal were about 10.2k but today i managed about 10.7k:) Though with the plastic i only got a couple of times over 13k and lots of 12.5-13k scores. Anyway they weren't very bad.:) Tomorrow i'll rest and hopefully don't touch the ball till Sunday when i'll get 14k:p
Armitage
05-10-2007, 18:49
not bad considered your age dude :D
I think the metal training really gives your arm firm grip and plastic the speed :D so i guess tomorow ill traing both :D you should do the same :)
Yes but don't over practise with the metal because your scores on the plastic will go down although your scores on the metal will improve:D That's what happened to me.:)
Armitage
05-10-2007, 19:10
my plastic scores were down even before i get metal so i will make them go UP now and so the Metal ones! :D
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
Here's today's session although i'm planning to do another one later.
I've sent my ball which i use for warming-up for repair so i decided to practise with the metal.:)
After a warm-up i got 2 scores over 11k(11 008+11 006) and some scores 10.7+ then i had a rest for a minute,though afterwards the counter wasn't working (couldn't turn it on) so i opened it and closed it again it was working normally again although it was reset so i lost my scores.:(
Anyway i tried again and got lots of scores 10.8+ though my highest was 10 906.
Anyway maybe afterwards i can do something with it:D :D :D
PS:Good luck with your scores Armitage;)

Hi ESL, am I correct in that you are 13 years old? These scores are outstanding for someone of that age. If I were you I'd post pictures of your scores to make sure we all believe you :p ... and I'd love to see a video.
Hi Installed,
Yes, i am 13 though as i said before my body has an adult's shape so i don't think my scores are so outstanding:)
As for the video my internet connection is far lower than 1Mb so i can't upload a video on youtube although i have my highest record recorded:)
As for the pictures here's one,though it's not my highest score because i've accidentely cleared it from the speedometer.:o
i wanna see a video lol, 14k by the age of 13 ??? 14k and 14 years old ???
GILPI :)
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
Here's today's session scores.Today was a "metal" day and a pretty good one:D
Firstly a UPC,then 11022 a new recorded (on the speedometer) record then 10939,10895,10822,10768,10981,10891,11090(new record),10407,
10201,10770,10862,10827 and lots of 9.7-10.3k with the left.:) and all rcorded on video:)
I didn't improved much but i really enjoy when a new made record flashes infront of me.:D :D :D
Lets see how about tomorrow;)
PS:Hopefully soon you'll see a video GILPI
petemayhew
07-10-2007, 18:22
Wow very impressive scores. :eek:
Just upload the video to youtube and leave your comp on overnight then should be done, I'm just interested in your technique and how you manage such a score at 13! :cool:
I'm uploading the 13543 video with plastic right now:)
Considering my calculations it'll take a couple of hours:p
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
Unfortunately there was an error and didn't uplaod it but as soon as iget a higher score i'll definately have to find a way to post it.
send the video via email to someone, then that way someone can put it on youtube for you or this website...
GILPI :)
I can't even email it ,it refuses to send such size:)
Bigzebra

How big is it:confused:
It can be compressed you know...
Hi everyone,
It's about 20Mb.
I know it can be compressed but just by a Mb or 2.:)
Hi all,:) :) :)
Here's today session,it wasn't very good but it was OK:D
Started with the metal and got lots of scores between 10.2-10.5k with the highest 10.7**k.:)
Then with the plastic i got 1327* and a few scores between 12.5-12.8:)
Well, it was a fine session though now i feel exhausted.
Anyway, maybe tomorrow:D ;) :D ;)
Hi all,:) :) :) :)
I'm really excited from today's session:D
But let's take it from the beginning...
Firstly i did some UPCs with the metal and tried some metal speed runs, got lots of 10.5-10.6k scores then desperate for some good score i tried with the plastic and got 132** so i concluded that i'd better leave the metal and go for the plastic.And i'm glad i thought like this:D
I did some warm up again (with the plastic this time) and then i tried a speed run.I knew that the sound ment a new record and when i turned towards me i saw 13729 flashing at me.Wooohooo!!! I was jumping like a kid (not that i'm not:p )
Then i didn't tried anything else i was too exhausted:o
Anyway tomorrow i'm supposed to rest and i hope i won't touch the ball cause i really need a day off, i've been powerballing since last Monday:)
congrats for the new score :D
using stress ball to excercise grip is very important :D (for me that is)
hope youll score the 14k even sooner :P.
Keep powerballing.
Kindest Regards,
Ron
Thanks ronasor:D
I also use the stressball though not as much as the real powerball:D
Hope your hope become true:p
Good luck with your scores too :D :) :D :) :D :)
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
Today it's resting day(the really hard part of the trainig) with the hope that i'll do something tomorrow.
Anyway, today i got someone into powerballing, i think soon he'll have one. What do you suggest for a beginner, a Neon maybe?:confused:
Armitage
10-10-2007, 17:13
First thing first :) Congrats now you are faster than me with plastic :D
About the friend.. Well yes I think neon is best for start :) and if he likes it he can buy the regular for records anytime :D
Thanks Armitage,:)
I'm just a few rev.s ahead so don't make it a big deal:D
As about my friend i thought maybe a techno would be nice.:) Can someone with a techno tell me if it's a good ball for a beginner:)
Hi everyone,:) :) :)
Today's session went pretty well...:D
Firstly some warm up with the metal then some speed runs not very impressive scores there just under 10k:p
Anyway, then gone for the plastic got some scores over 13.2k like 1334*,13410 and the highest 135**:)
Didn't got a new record but i was satisfied with my scores:D
Anyway lets see what tomorrow will bring to us;)
Armitage
11-10-2007, 17:06
Nice scores there :D 200 rpm from record isnt bad :P actualyl it's good :D keep it up and you are going to be youngest to 14 k i guess (if am wrong just correct me..):D
Thanks Armitage,:D
I don't know if i'll be the youngest but if i hit 14k(hopefully:) )I'll sure be the heaviest:p (i'm 95Kg):o
95 kgs??,13 years??, 1.90 cms or not??:p :eek: , congrats for your scores... hehe;)
Armitage
12-10-2007, 13:46
Im about same weight as you (im 189-190 cm tall)
Thanks xaverr,:D
I'm just 185cm not 190:p
PS:Armitage have you also got abit of tammy like my?:p
Armitage
12-10-2007, 15:27
Of course :D, but i'll get rid of it in next months :p
Good luck with both...the scores and the tammy:p
Hi eaverone,:D
Just to inform you about today's session.
After a warm up i got some scores over 13.2 with the highest 13 49* and some scores under 13k with the lowest 12 6**.:) today i started recording my left hand's records.Today got 12090(i know it needs practise:o )
Anyway it was quite a good session:)
Tomorrow i'm supposed to rest but i don't think so:D
Bigzebra
12-10-2007, 20:16
Indeed, quite good session.
Keep practising with your left hand!!
And try not to forget to rest, i mean this is really important (at least it is for me)
Hi everyone,:)
Bigzebra,
I know my left hand it needs practise though these's days improvement diddn't leave me.If i bring it at the same level with my right i'll sure get a good dual run score, i estimate 26k (not 30k but it will be good:D )
I TRY to rest about 2 days per week do you think is enough? :confused:
Hi all,:)
Just did a short session only with my left hand:)
After a less-than-5-minutes warm up and a few speed runs got a new record of 12304 (not very good but it's a beginning:o )
Anyway later on i'm planning to do a proper session with both my left and right hand:D
Lets see what'll do :)
Armitage
13-10-2007, 10:14
nice, you should update your signature :D
Hi all,
I was just playing with my powerball and got a new LH record 12381:D
I don't know if i'll do a long session today cause i want to be ready for a new score tomorrow;)
PS: just updated my signature :)
Hehe, 12.381 is a nice record for your slow arm... but if you make 13.7** with your right, probably you can improve your left too;) . For me it takes a few weeks, like 2 months. When I start a new session, I try to practise with both hands, not only right..., then your left's improvements will come soon ;)

Thanks xaverr:)
When i was practising i used train both arms though i did speed runs only with the right (for a record:) ) so i guess both are trained but the one needs a little more practise;)
Hi everyone,:)
Just to inform you about today's session...not very good i'm afraid:(
Started with the metal and then the plastic.Got most of the scores over 13k and a few just under(like 12 9**,12 889 etc.)with the highest 13 3**:(
Oh, i also did a new left hand record 12525 (not very good either but it's OK :) )
Tomorrow i'm sending my warm up ball for repairing so it's agood chance to focus on my not-so-good scores on metal for a copuple of weeks:)
Anyway hopefully i'll do something tomorrow:)
Armitage
14-10-2007, 16:20
nice session anyway, and your left is cathing up to the right i can say you have very fast increase. How many tries do you usually have RH?
I do about 7 :)cause if i do a new record it would be on the first(at least that's how it's been so far)
Armitage
14-10-2007, 18:07
man 7?.. try more.. if you have the strenght (my speed tries are from 30 to 50) RH only. for example my best last session was on 19 run.
I do a lot of warm up (30 minutes or something) so usally i'm quite tired:o
Anyway i'll try and some more speed runs next time but surely not 50:D
PS: Do you do them continously?:confused:
Armitage
14-10-2007, 20:24
try not to be tired after warming up! well i have breaks from 15 seconds to 1 minute between them and i usually do some 90s in the middle of session. And i do some metal in between, my scores always get higher after a few metal runs its like a boost.
Hi everyone,
Just to inform you about today's session which was not very good but not very bad either:)
Firstly a good warm up and then some speed runs got lots of scores like 13 1**with the highest 13393.Anyway maybe next time arm will be faster:D (hopefully ofcourse):o
The good news of this session was a new LH record 12741:)
Didn't get a new record (RH i mean) but i was satisfied with my results:)
PS:Armitage, i didn't try some more speed runs nor som,e of your advices cause i was pretty tired:o Though i'll try them tomorrow and lets hope it'll work;)
Armitage
15-10-2007, 18:53
nice LH soon you will catch mine :D your RH scores are just like mine..:D
Hi Armitage:)
Yes i know,i know...soon my LH will hit 14k and my right will be 13 333:D (no i don't think so:p )
Just wondered when did you started powerballing?:confused:
PS: so if my RH scores are like yours then maybe you'll catch first 14k;)
Armitage
15-10-2007, 19:13
if you read my signature i have it there, you know what really sucks?
I just watched video i taped on 14.9.2007 (1 month ago..) and its 3 minutes long first score was 13539 right after that something around 13500(counter showed 13113 but powerballyzer like 400 revs more) few second after that 13273 and after that 13133... and that was exactly month ago but with different powerball (it broke so they changed rotor and lower part of powerball.. and i couldnt do 12500 with it.. and i still cant do 13 k with this one.. nevermind)
after the change of powerball i seems to forgot the right technique or what i really dont know.. if my powerball didnt broke i guess now i would had 14 k :(
so take care of your PB :D (well i did take really good care but it didnt help anyway..)
Hi Armitage,
if you read my signature i have it there
Sorry, haven't seen that.:D
Don't worry about the ball maybe it needs to be a little bit more used:)
I think if you use it for 3 days even at low speeds for an hour it'll be fine again;)
Armitage
15-10-2007, 20:04
erm... i did several hours sessions with the ball.. i just cant make 13 k with it.. and my second regular is i dont know why too smooth and i cant speed up. well now i have only one normal PB for speed runs which im using i guess ill buy few more regulars and i will hop they will be fast :D
petemayhew
15-10-2007, 20:54
erm... i did several hours sessions with the ball.. i just cant make 13 k with it..
You can achieve higher scores on a smoother ball with a smoother technique. Build it up slowly and smoothly and you should be able to get around 13K with it, on the other hand, breaking it in should only take 2-3 sessions on a normal ball. :rolleyes:
Hi everyone,:)
Just to inform you about today's session:) Today i used some of your advices Armitage:D
Started with my usual warm up and then some speed runs,got about 12.9k:o Then tried a bit more and increased my scores to over 13k.Then some 90s and a go with the metal.
Anyway my highest score was 13424 and left hand about 12 500(can't get a new record everyday with it:D )
Tomorrow i'm resting and hopefully i'll see a new record soon:D
Armitage
16-10-2007, 19:25
nice session considering you did session yesterday :D
Hi there, I'm back now!!:D , after a week of rest, my right arm is much better (I have a little of pain yet after runs speeds but it's much less than a few days).
Anyway I try 7-8 Right Run Speed: 12.900-13.055-13.211-13.120-12.990-13.060-13.010..., so I think that are nice records considering 1 week of rest and a not perfect arm. I hope to make a normal session on Weekend...:rolleyes:
Keep training : )
PS: Nice scores ESL...;)
Regards!
Hi all,:)
Today's resting day so i have to stay calm and just don't touch:p
Anyway,just to inform you that my friend bought his powerball(a signature) and he's really excited:D
Anyway lets see what tomorrow will bring;)
PS: Xaverr, very nice come-back:D
Hehe, he must be very excited...:D, try to rest all the day, when I need to rest, I make a little session or spin it very slow, it's very difficult for me not touch it for all the day...
PS: I think that my elbow is not cured yet:o , I have a little pain after the session of yesterday:( ,and i'm so stupid, I'm still spin it... :mad:
Hi everyone,:)
Just to inform u about today's session.Whch wasn't very good i'm afraid :o :)
Anyway, did some warm up and then gone for the metal not very good scores there either:o
Then for the plastic, got max. 1299* and 125** LH.
Anyway, my scores weren't very good today but i'm fine:)
Tomorrow (hopefully) might be my lucky day:) ;) :D
Hi ESL, 12.9k is a nice score anyway. I hope that you don't have the same problem as Armitage(and some many of us), and your scores will go down. Keep training to don't have this problem...;)
Regards!
Hi everyone,:)
Just came from a party and i'm really tired so i'm going to tell u briefly how today's session was.
Warm up/plastic/highest 13528/lowest ???? :D :D :D
Lets see tomorrow;)
So, good night,
good morning or
good evening
(depends where u are):D
Wow... now Ive just seen your 13.. Pete you have a huge competition with this though, he has a big future :)
Also you weight almost half of me :| probably your hell of a strong and could lift me up in secs... like my class mate does any time he sees me :o
which starting to get little bit annoying :(
also I got a quick summary about the the stress ball, if you use it and your hands are hellish aching while squishing it... it means you have to take a rest since your muscles are really sprained up ;)
mybe use energy drinks... I dont have any idea if they effect on somthing but I would like to have a comment about it...
Good Luck with your scores and never give up...
Kindest Regards,
Ron
13 and you go to partys??:p, in my country 13 years old guys are sleeping at 9PM :D heheh, joke... :rolleyes:
13528??, I agree wit Ronasor, Pete have competence now..., maybe this year you will hit 14k, your improves are very quick...;)
Regards!
I thought it you guys 13 year olds were sleeping at 9 RPM....wow I'm getting tired!
maybe this year you will hit 14k!
Hope so:)
Ronasor, i used to drink an energy drink but my mum forbidden me to cause i've already got some fat on me and if i exercise and also drink energy then it's like doing nothing:D Though i think it helps alot if u have long sessions (about an hour).:)
Hi everyone,
Just to inform you about today's session::)
I did nothing at all:D :p :D I know,i know i am being naughty but it's not just that i also missed Sutarday's session.:)
Anyway from tomorrow i'll only practise on metal till i send and get back my warm up ball :D
Anyway,hope this helps,but we won't know till next month:D ;) :)
Don't worry..., resting a few days won't take your technique away...:D (I hope so)
PS: And here I'm, just reading post and seeing scores of all..., this is very frustrating:( (anyway I made a few runs with left yesterday: 12.800 was the best:) )
Regards!
Hi everyone, :)
Unfortunately i haven't done a proper session today:(
Just playing around for less thana few minutes with the highest score 130**:)
Anyway for the next three days i hope i'll catch up with my sessions by practising over 2 hours per day:D :p :D
Anyway lets see tomorrow:) ;)
PS: Don't worry xaverr, i'm sure when you have fully recovered you'll come back with a new record over 14k;) :) ;)
Hehe, when I start again, I will be glad if I can do 13.7k those week...:D, let's see tomorrow what your wrist will wring...;)
Hi everyone,
Here how today's session went,:)
I first did a cold run and got about 12.8k then after a warm up my scores seemed to go down rather that increase.Why does this happened and how can i stop it?:confused: :confused: :confused: So my highest score was that of the cold run:)
Anway,i'm thinking of having another session later on.lets see if i'll pass 13k then:) ;) :o
Hi all,:)
Just finished my 2nd session for today which wasn't very good,:o but it doesn't really matters:) :D
Anyway some details,highest score was 12 5**RH and 118**LH:o :)
To be honest i shouldn't make this session cause i'm planning to powerball tomorrow again.
Anyway, lets see tomorrow;)
Armitage
25-10-2007, 18:44
Hi, don't worry it will be fine soon :)
I also have difficulties to make 13 k but thats because my LH is making 12.9 and i seem to not be able to do the 13 k on right because of the different technique :rolleyes:.:D
Edit1: did 13006 with left and few 130** with right still at it :D
Thanks Armitage:)
Hope i won't have any difficulties but we won't know till tomorrow:D ;)
Good luck with your scores;) :)
Don't worry ESL, it's normal to have some problems a few times per month, you should be Ok in a few days... (if you'll still spinning);)
Regards!
Hi everyone,:D
Here's how today's session went::)
After a warm up tried some 30s(best 5450 RH) :o
Then some speed runs: best RH 12702 and best LH 12411
Average RH:12125
Average LH:11773
Not very good scores but hopefully i'll get back to my form soon:D
Anyway tomorrow i'm resting, lets see how'll do on Sunday (hope over 13k:D ;) )
Hi,:D
Aminute ago i was just playing around with my metal and got 10600:eek: a score that i used to get only after warm up:eek:
So on Sunday i'll have a metal session hoping for a new record;)

Wooo. Nice work, fingures crossed for Sunday then.
Congrats ESL!!, today I improve again my Left Metal score, yesterday I made 10.300 and today 10.885!!:D
Let's see on Sunday what will happen...
Regards!!;)
Hi all,:D
Just did the first part of today's session(only plastic),I'm planning to do another one (only metal);)
It wasn't very good i'm afraid.:(
Speed runs: Highest RH-12534(after warm up) and 12600(before warm up)
Highest LH-12457
Average:RH-12057
LH-12160
I've created a new thread at "user's scores" so any advices will be very appreciated:D
Hope i'll get to my form soon;)
PS: COngrats for your new record xaverr.:D 11k isn't far now.GO!:D ;)
Hi ESL, that's true..., 12.5k is not a very nice score if you made 13.5k normaly a few days ago. Maybe Jezz is right, you need to rest a few days, and probably then 12k will be your best:D (joke), I hope that you can improve quickly again, just make less sessions... (you make 1 every day?)
Regards!;)
Hi xaverr and thanks,:D
Today i was supposed to do a metal session score but i didn't:)
Usually i do a session every day except Wednesday and Saturday:D
Maybe that's the reason..., just take a rest and start again with a little or less intense sessions.
Regards!;)

Hi, ESL how are your scores doing?
Hi Armitage,:D
I've been resting for a week but tomorrow we'll now;)
I think your resting too much hehe... I cant have 2 days off without the powerball because if it is more my scores drop very dramaticly =/
hope your different than me... good luck when you recover for an highscore :P
Ron
Thanks ronasor:D Hope all this resting will finally do something:)
LOL, first next run speed, 11.5k :p , best 12k :D hehe.., I don't think that your score will go down, I rest a few days ago like 4-5 days and my score were very similar...;)
Hi everyone:D
Back to the usuall sessions but unfortunately not to the usuall scores :(
I think i'll work on my UPC and 30s and hopefully i'll get good scores again:)
Today got RH UPC 39877 (bad)
LH UPC 37894 (very bad):p
Highest 30s R was 5431 and L 5124 (didn't try with both hands)
Let's see tomorrow;)
PS: oh and something else: highest speed run was 12667:)
Hi everyone:D
That's how yesterday's session went(today i'm reasting):)
New UPC records RH:41378 LH:39189:D
And a new 90s record both hands withou using E/B tech.
16297:D
Best speed run was 12667:(
As you can see i'm planning to concentrate on 30,60,90s with a hope that my score will rise again.What do you think about this?:confused:
Hope i'll get pass 12.8k tomorrow:D :o
Hi everyone:D
Today i was naughty i was supposed to powerball but didn't make it.
Anyway, i wrote down my results of yesterday's session but unfortunately i forgot where i did:o :o :o
Now, as far as i remember got a new 90s record 163** (have a feeling it was 16310) and my average speed of that session was 103** (pretty bad:o ) Oh and the highest speed run was 124**.
Oh and another thing, in a week all of my school will run a cross-country and i have to run 3km what do you think is a reasonable time for a 13-year old? :confused: :confused: :confused: I do it in 20 min.(i know i really suck:o ) :D
Armitage
11-11-2007, 19:17
Good session !!!!
you say oh... it sounds like you don't care :D
but this was certainly good session 13.4 and a new 90s record!
keep it up :D
Ooooopppppssssss:o :o:o I meant 12.4 .Sorry. :o corrected it:o :D :D :D
Though i'll keep it up. Thanks:D
Armitage
11-11-2007, 20:05
:D
now it makes more sense :D
Hi there ESL!, now I can see that both of you suffered the same problem as me a few months ago, I thought that you won't have this problem but I was wrong...
When I started Powerballing, I make a record of 13.5k after 3-4 months of spinning this ball, and after a few weeks, it was very hard to make 13k. I think that it's very usual to have this Problem with Powerballers..., a lot of people make good score after few weeks or 2 months but almost all of them have a big problem to improve again his score, or make a similar record..., maybe because the technique is not very strong...:rolleyes:
The point is: Don't worry, I think that it's normal..., you will improve in a few weeks more, or in a few months more, just remember to keep spinning or no new record will come. :D ;)
Thanks for the encouraging words xaverr:D hope i'll get back in form soon:D Tomorrow i'm planning to do a long session since i don't have school;) :D
Oh and another thing today i ran the 3km in 19min. :D (1 min. improvement but still not a very good time:o )
Hey ESL,
I had a similar problem last week and this week. Last Tuesday I made a new record of 13.626 and then I kept trying for Wednesday and Thursday. After Thursday's session my RPM dropped to 12.5 average. I thought I wasn't warm enough so had some longer speed run sessions, but ended up tiring myself out. I put it to rest, and didn't powerbal much for the next 4 days.
Tonight, I whipped out a proper warm up session and washed my hands with dish soap and walked away with 13 901 RPM!!!
Rest your hand, if it is sore it probably means your arm muscles will also be sore. When you're better rested you'll make new records! When you're fully rested you'll make incredible new records!
Hi jihmmie:D
Thanks for thge advice and congrats for the score:D ;)
I don't think my problem is that i'm exhausted i think i lost my technique:o
Though i hope i'll be gaining it back in a few weeks:D ;)
Hi everyone:D
Here's today's session:
First run and a new record (Not the 13.7k one but my latest record) with a 12755:D Slowly slowly to 13k again;)
UPC scores: 41035 R and 38783 L:)
Then some speed runs with the highest: 12709 R and 12225L
Almost all of my speed runs were over 12.4k(except one) which is a very good sign since a few days back 12.3k was my highest:D ;) :D
At 90s didn't do much just 15701:o
And today i didn't run the 3km(but maybe tomorrow):D ;)
Lets hope i'll be back in form before my screamer arrives;) :D (in about 2 weeks):D
DOn't give up ESL, keep spinning, in a few days more, your 13k score will come again, don't worry... ;) anyway 12.7k is a nice record:)
Regards!

Wow, it seems you've fallen back into the usual cold-mode. Its happed to me too, believe me! When my record was 13928, there was a time when I could barely make 12.5k!
Hi Installed:D
May i ask how you passed that cold mode?:confused: Just kept spinning:confused: :D
Installed
14-11-2007, 17:39
Pretty much. :D Since trying speed runs was absolutely pointless, I opted to lots of endurance. Then after a few weeks break, it all started coming back again. I dont think you should go out of your way to take a break though, theres got to be a better way.
I know a couple other guys have been through the same thing, could anyone offer their suggestions?
P.S. I don't think I've ever asked before, but you do seem to be quite the Star Wars fan. I've got a humongous action-figure and playing-cards collection. I used to be a big fan. Its still cool, but its gotten old lol.
Armitage
14-11-2007, 18:15
I opted to lots of endurance.
I think there are 3 types of spinners
1. The ones who rule in speed but lack endurance.
2. The ones who rule in endurance but their speed could be better
3. The ones who rule in both speed and endurance
and there is extra one type : me which sucks at both :D
As Tim said before too much endurance may not help but it could worse your technique. I still don't know how to maintain good speed and endurance at the same time. maybe the only way is to suck at one of these and then try to catch up (if you understand me). I mean now if ESL is doing enduracne he will be better in enduracne and he could make endrurance record. awww, I don't know how to explain it hope you caught the idea.
My state now is bad Im improving my endurance and speed on left hand (because it sucked month ago) but my Right hand Speed decreased about 700 rpm i can do 12.8 no problem but i really struggle to do 13-13.1 k! And its with different technique than before i kind of lost technique and i cant regain it, trying all but seems my right hand just cant move fast.( lately i broke 6k on 30s mainly with right) I have no problem to do 13 k with left 10-20 times in session but when i do 30s or 90s i feel the great difference in strenght right is much more stronger, and i did 13.5 no problem 2 months ago now i really dont know.
Im being desparate and frustrated with my right at this moment. :(
I know i have the energy to spin today, but i don't know how to make myself spin because i have been getting suckish record on right for whole 2 months and it's getting on my mind. But i think i will do a session because i have to make new record at least with left.
Seems that almost all of 13kers are having the same problem.
Hi everyone:D
Yes, Installed i'm proud to call my self a Star Wars fan although the first episode was created a long time before i was born:D I know these days most of the people got bored with Star Wars and get on with The Lord of the Rings which is more recent and on the same (if not higher) level as Star Wars, but to be honest i prefer Star Wars between these 2 :D
Now, Here how today's session went::D
First thing i did was a speed run, i quite good speed run:D Broke my score with 12960:D VERY close to 13K again:D
Then did a UPC on both arms: RH-40721 (in which again i got a score of 12.9):D LH-38957:)
Then 90s which was awful with a 15162 score:o
And finally some 30s av. 5100R 4900L
Did some speed runs which were all over 12.3k:D
I think it was a nice session:D Let's hope for more;)
Armitage,:D Try and focus on 30,60,90s and you'll improve:D
Hi everyone:D
Here's how today's session went:
A metal UPC R-32445 L-32351 and then a speed run with plastic and got 12857:D (it was the highest of the session):D
Then a plastic UPC R-40864 L-39494
30s were about 5300 and 90s about 15283
As you can see it seems that on metal endurance my left is better but in speed my right is better by 400 rpm:eek: :D
I think it was a good session though i'll do sessions which are so long about once a week :D
I think there are 3 types of spinners
1. The ones who rule in speed but lack endurance.
2. The ones who rule in endurance but their speed could be better
3. The ones who rule in both speed and endurance
Hmmm, I'd have to say I'm the first kind of spinner...though I'm slowly getting better with my (incredibly bad) endurance. My endurance is around 5K: slightly higher for both hands, slightly lower for one hand. I only grip though, I'd probably be able to hit 6K or higher if I Ed'd the runs. The 60s and 90s are extremely bad, and have been working on my 30s in hopes to improve the 60s and 90s to a decent acceptable level...
ill say im some sort of a wannabe ruler of endurance and lacking speed :)

Star Wars is definitely the more classic, although I like them both equally I would say. :D
Keep at it, you'll break the cold mode sooner or later. I certainly know the feeling of not being able to move any faster! I've had times where 12.5k felt rediculously fast... :o (when my record was well above 13k)
Thanks Installed:D
Don't worry i won't give up and hopefully i'll be back in form soon;) :)
Hi everyone :D
Yesterday's session was quite good and here are some details about it:)
UPC R: 39924 UPC L:39580
As you can see my left starts to overule my right hand in endurance and this difference between these 2 UPCs was made with the big difference at the 2 speed runs. Without calculating the speed runs my left is better by 607:eek:
Best speed run of the day was at the very morning before i even went to school (12887) and the best of the session was the last one (12784):)
And here's a question which may sound a bit silly::o
How do i know if i'm using Ed-tech?:confused: I've read somewhere that if change hands many times during a 90s lets say you'll be consisted as an Ed-techer. Is this true?:confused: :confused:
PS: tomorrow morning i'll be going at a field trip with friends at the mountains:D Although i'll lose weekend's session i hope that fresh air will refresh me and give me the power to pass 13k again:p :D :D
Congrats ESL!!, that are great scores...;):D
About the Ed tech, if you change of hands a lot of time, but always spinning the ball fast, is not Ed tech. Now if you change a lot of time, and you don't grip to much the Powerball,keeping the speed of the rotor, but without doing force for 3 sec... (like the videos), that is Ed technique...
(If I'm wrong please correct me)
Regards!;)
How do i know if i'm using Ed-tech?:confused: I've read somewhere that if change hands many times during a 90s lets say you'll be consisted as an Ed-techer. Is this true?:confused: :confused:
Ed tech is when you loose grip the ball and it is spinning about it's axis but not moving around the shell. The number of changes has nothing to do with it
The number of changes has nothing to do with it
Unless you take a long time and/or ed tech between changes!
Hi everyone:D
I'm back from my trip (which was great) and i'm ready for some new records;)
Firstly thanks for the comments:D
Now i've said that about ED-tech because my scores seem to rise dramatically if i change hands 6 times (every 15 sec) than just 4 times:D
On Saturday i finally got my screamer!!:D It's fantastic and i highly recommend it to everyone doesn't have one:D ;) Unfortunately i only got it till 118** but i know that soon i'll take it over 12.5k:D ;)
I haven't had a proper session with it but today i'm planning to;) :D
Hi everybody:D
Today's session was quite nice i REALLY enjoyed the screamer :D It's fantastic:D
UPC R-40938 UPC L-39330
I finally got my screamer at 12565 (it really screamed:p ) which was the highest score of the session:)
Let's hope it'll scream more on Wednesday;) :D
Nice ESL!!, why you are not hitting 13k now? maybe were score to high after just a few days, anyway you will improve soon. I want to buy a Screamer, a Techno a counter and a Siggy for Christmas...:D :p
Keep trying that UPC, that should help..., I didn't try it yet, 30 sec. is enough for me, 60 sec. I will be dead, and 90 sec.??, no way!:p
PS: Is to much different the screamer with the regular?? (much more less scores?)
Regards!!;)
Thanks xaverr:D Let's hope i'll get 13k soon;)
I think UPCs really help so i'll keep doing them:D
As for the screamer, i think they are the same thing (except from the sound:p ) That run of 12.5 was with the screamer was with the screamer but also the highest of all the speed runs:) So pretty much the scores are the same:) I really enjoy practising with the screamer and i'll keep trying going first over 13k with the screamer and then with any other powerball:D ;)

The screamer is freakin' awesome! I just went down to visit my bro in college, and he's got one. I got some wide-eyed looks as I hit 13500 on the thing. :D The sound was beautiful. :p
Hi there, I decided it...
Now I will buy a Techno and a Screamer..., I want to see how the Techno is, what do you think??? (also I bought a Pedometer and a 1.5 Handgrip)
This are my 3 last days after going out of school and enter to university... :) :o :rolleyes: :cool:
Regards!!
I personally don't see why a techno is different from other Neons:o But as for the screamer i have to say you have taken an excellent decision:D :p Erm, what's a Pedometer?:confused:
Good luck with your university;)
Installed
29-11-2007, 03:02
I'm always wanted to check out a techno, never gotten around to purchasing one though. And I STILL have yet to get a gripper. :( Christmas it is then. :p
I personally don't see why a techno is different from other Neons:o
The techno physically has a different top shell and rotor. There are two circuit boards on the techno to allow enough circuitry to incorporate the buildt in rotor and LED timer/control/display. It isn't nearly as bright as a Neon (thus Neon I'm guessing) as the LEDs serve as a minimal lighting and more as its primary purpose, indicators. The settings are also somewhat more limiting, I believe, with the techno for its nature of the onboard counter.
But as for the screamer i have to say you have taken an excellent decision:D :confused:
Agreed!
Erm, what's a Pedometer?:confused:
A pedometer, usually in the form of a belt/waist clip, counts your number of steps. It is, essentially, a step counter while some more recent pedometers can be programmed with your est. step distance and calculate/estimate things such as your traveling distance/velocity, etc.
Thanks for the comments everyone:D
Lets get to the point::D
Yahoo!:D Finally over 13k again and this time with the screamer;)
Actually it wasn't a proper session.Did a few speed runs when suddenly the counter of my 250Hz got faulty it stayed constantly at my highest speed:( Tried to fix it but didn't achieved anything :(
I continued with the screamer and the highest i could get was 122**. Than i did a speed run and the score on my screamer was again 12.2k(the other counter wasn't working)
Afterwards i sat and listened to a song and then tried a speed run 12.978K:eek: I was pretty shocked another try and again 12.9+:eek:
I decided to listen to a song again and have another go afterwards;)
And finally first speed run and the counter was flashing with a 13k score:eek: :D 13048:D
At last:) a score of 13k :) Lets hope i'll contnue improving;)
Congrats ESL!!, 13k with a Screamer??, soon I will now what is the sound of that...:D I think that Jihmmie answer your question...( A few months ago I said: The only Powerball that I will never buy is the Techno..., and now I want one:D :rolleyes: )
Keep spinning for better score now!! I want to see a 13.2k next week :D
PS: THe Pedometer can calculate the burned calories when you run,jog,etc... :p :)
Thanks xaverr:D
Don't go too fast, i'll be happy if i get a score of 13k though i hope till 2008 i'll be back to form;) :)
I'm sure you'll like the screamer, it's fantastic!!!:)
lol, when I said to my family they said: More noise???, do your powerball session in the garden, away of us... :D :p
Wooooohooooo!:D :D
New score again;)
Oh, but before that let me say that on the 2nd of Dec. i had a proper session (about 35 min.) there my highest was 12403:o
Now back to our main point: ;)
Today just before i went to school i had a few speed runs.There the highest was about 12200:o
Afterwards, when i came home had another go and got 12300:o
Though just a few minutes ago i had a speed run of 12500:eek: Then i did exactly as i did on Saturday and the results were good;)
2nd speed run was about 12700:eek:
And the 3rd 13168:eek: I was totally stunned:eek:
A very nice not-a-proper session i must say;)
Lets hope i'll continue improving;) :)
Congrats ESL, 13.168 is a very nice score if you are doing 12.3k almost all of the runs..., keep spinning, and the ball will wring you more happyness :p
PS: You don't remember the tech that you had when you made 13.7k???
PS2: I Made 13.952 with Regular!!:p :D :cool:
Regards!!
Thank you very much xaverr;) :D
I think my fall was because of losing technique so i don't really remember how i did it :(
Many congratulations for your new record:D ;) Pitty it wasn't 14K;)
Wow:eek: New record again;) though this time not with the screamer
I think those UPCs do their work pretty well;) :D

Thanks jihmmie:D
Today i might have a proper session though my scores won't be higher than 12.6k i'm sure:D I'm more a clod run guy;)
As for xaverr, let's hope we'll catch him up before 2008;) :D
Good luck on finding your technique.;) Maybe it's not that have you tried resting for a while?:confused: ;)
Unfortunately(or fortunately;) ) i didn't have a proper session today though i'll surely have one tomorrow:D
Had the usual thing with the songs and got a new record with the screamer this time;) :D

PS: Today was my graduation..., tomorrow I will make a new session.:) and I hope to catch 13.953 :p
Keep spinning!

Thanks Armitage:D
Sometimes my screamer is bit fatser than my regular and sometimes not:D That day my highest regular score was 12.6k:o
I've got the feeling that something's wrong with my regular but maybe it's all in my mind:D ;) I think my regular is abit rough.:D Well, i don't blame it, it has survived 3 whole months with me:p :D ;)

Nice one ESL. :)
Keep going and you'll hit 14k before you know it.
Hey!!, nice score ESL, almost 13.6k!!, you are improving very fast..., let see on Tuesday a 13.650!!:D ;)
Regards!
Thanks guys:D
Pete,lets hope i'll get 14k before 2008:D ;) and 15k before 2009:p and 16k before i become a little granpa:p :p :D
xaverr,that's impossible :D i can't get a good speed score in a proper session :D ;)

09-12-2007, 19:47
cool! looks like you are back in the game :D:D
Hope so, Armitage, hope so...:)
Woohoo:D new record:D :D :D
Today i did the usuall thing and got two 13.2 and two 13.5k;) One being 13568:D :eek: :p At leat i broke my record (even by 1 rpm:p)
Today i was supposed to rest but i couldn't resist:p :D
Tomorrow i'm having a proper session and then resting till Saturday:) ;)
Lets hope i'll keep going like this and see some good results on Saturday:) ;)

10-12-2007, 19:32
:D Cool again 13.5! Did you use screamer?
Yes, of course:D I don't know why but my scores on my regular have been dropped these days like 12.3k or something:o
Armitage
10-12-2007, 19:44
hmm, I never really understood this :D seems like your muscles are perfectly balanced for screamer :D, like Pako said that he was having better scores with neon in past time.
But that never worked for me, i always had better scores with regular. The first time i brought it home i smashed my neon score(13006) by cca 150 rpm(13143 or so) and few days after that by another 150 rpm..(13309) :D
seems like your muscles are perfectly balanced for screamer :D
Not my muscles Armitage but my ears:D :p I think that i got used at the sound of the screamer and can't work on a regular:D :) :p ;)
lol, I agree with you ESL, a few months ago, my neons scores were much better than regular Powerballs. That was for the sound that the Neons make are very different(at least for me:D ), I hope to have a nice session with the Screamer too!
PS: Congrats for your Record!! (+1 rpm :p ;) )
Regards!
Guess that this differs from people to people:)
As i said before, I'm sure you will enjoy the screamer when it arrives;)
PS:thanks:D
Hi everybody:)
Unfortunately i didn't manage to have a session today:( I came from school pretty tired and later on i had a headache for a while (lets hope i won't catch a cold):(
Anyway, at least i rested today and tomorrow i'll hopefully have that session:D ;)
hope ull be well ;)
cant wait for you to pass the 14k already :D
it will surprise you one day, when you wont expect it, it will happen :D
Thanks ronasor:D Lets hope you will be right;) :)
Anyway, today i finally managed to have a session:D :D
UPCs: R-39106:o L-38105:o
My 90s were 15225:o and best 30s the first one i had (which was also the thing i started my session with) 5455 R:o
Also a terrible thing happened to my warm up ball:( As i finished my last 30s it started to vibrate in an unusual way.Firstly i didn't know why but after taking off the support ring i realised that the metal axis could be taken out!!!:eek: This happened form the part of the ball where the weight is.Although i am sad about it i found it quite interesting:D :p
Anyway, lets hope i'll be rested enough on Saturday to break my record;) :)
Hi:) Today i was supposed to rest till tomorrow but i ddn't and had a few speed runs with both metal and plastic:D
First of all let me say that i erased the score of my screamer but thank God i managed to get it up to a satisfied point(13480):)
Also i managed to pass 11k three times with the metal and one being 11130:D :D :D A new score of 40 rpm higher;)
Well, this was my little session, if you can call it like this.:)
Tomorrow i'm going to try to pass my old record (13568);) lets hope i will:) :D ;)
Nice little sess. ESL, 13.5k??, that's a Very great score, indeed today almos all of my score were between 13.5k and 13.6k. I think that my rest of 5 days was to much :rolleyes: :( :)
Regards!;)
Yes xaverr, that was what i feeling too after the first speed run today being 12.2k:o But soon after a few more, 13k wasn't a problem:) So don't worry soon you'll be to those 13.8+ scores;)
So the moral of this is not to over-train but also not to over-rest:D :p ;)
Hi all:)
Today tried some speed runs and got 13469 plastic (quite good):D
And a new metal record;) 11179:) :D
I may try a few speed runs afterwards when i finish something that i've got to do;) :)
Hi ESL, nice to see that your score are improving...
What is your best 90 sec. endurance??, (Grip)
Today I improve a little more, 16.741, and 13.222 in the second try :rolleyes:
Regards!
Thanks xaverr:)
Congrats for your record;) Mine is 162**:o :D
Hi, :D
Today had a few speed runs bothg plastic and metal;)
highest plastic was 13428:) and metal 11327:D New record:eek: ;) (beat my record twice today,firstly with 11207 and then with this;) :D )
Also i started doing some speed runs with a different grip.When i do this i really feel my muscles working;) :D Highest with this grip R-103**:) and L-109**:eek: ;)
I think it was a quite good day.:D
Lets hope i'll continue rising;)
Nice Record ESL, if you see, your record with Plastic and Metal are versy similars..., 13.4k with Regular, and 11.3k with Metal, there is just 100 rpm of difference... (Metal score are 2000 rpm less;) )
PS: Now I love doing 90 sec., the 30 sec. are MUCH more easy after doing 90 sec., do you think that my speed will improve if I improve my endurance?:rolleyes:
Keep spinning!
Thanks xaverr:D
Yes, i think your speed will improve by doing endurance;) I've read somwhere that the best training for a sprinter that has to run 100m is 3Km+;) So guess that will also work for powerballer:D :p :) ;)
As for the even scores you're right.I didn't use to like mixing up metal and plastic but now it seems that it help;) Let's hope i will keep improving on boths;) :D

Hey,hey, animaster.Don't rush.:D Wait a few weeks more:p :D ;) :p :D ;)
Heheh, a few years more?? :p ;) :D
PS: Now my 30sec. are very easy, I will make 90 sec. in every of my sess in the future... ;)
Regards!
Yes,yes you're right xaverr;) :D
As for the 30s, continue practising on them, i think they're good;):)

Having a good metal and plastic scores is very good :D if you continue like that you will sure break your record (btw. how can you make such high scores with screamer? if you cant do 13 k with regular?! it should be easier!! if you practise the regular you should beat your scores like nothing!)
btw. just read the last naruto shippuuden manga and jiraya died :(
Thanks Armitage:D
As for the regular, the problem is that i can't even try practising, it's broken:D :p :(
Anyway, once i get it back i'll try with it;)
Armitage
18-12-2007, 14:39
hmm.. buy more regulars :D:D i have 7 balls now with that neon blue from chships. and 3 from them are regulars with which i can go 13+ two from them are old and very good run in. Finally have my balls as i wanted them these 3 + metal is all i need :D
7 powerballs:eek: I've got only 4 including the metal (screamer,regular,Neon Green) :D :o
Armitage
18-12-2007, 15:08
see? you need more regulars :D:D
He he:D Th problem is that i've already bought a ball for Christmas (screamer);)
Hehe, I have 11 balls with that Techno and Screamer that are travelling yet! :( (since 28 Nov)
1 Metal
1 Techno
1 Screamer
1 Neon Blue
7 Regular ( 2 of this were a Red Neon and a Green, but the rotors are dead and now are regulars...) :p
All of them have counter, except 2 of my Regular that are brand new, waiting until other Powerball die... :rolleyes:
Regards!
Wow xaverr:eek: You also got quite a lot;) How much do you buy them in your country?:confused:
animaster
18-12-2007, 15:53
freaks! i just have one!
Tstering
18-12-2007, 18:14
I think with my latest order I'll be up to over 30 powerballs :D
Also remember Pako has over 60 of them now.
animaster,don't forget that it hasn't been a month since you started powerballing:D ;)
Tstering,I think 30 powerballs are quite alot:D Have you got one of each model:confused: Or is there one that you don't have:confused: I personally i don't see myself owning a techno:o :D
Armitage
18-12-2007, 19:48
lately I've been playing with powerballs a lot ( before that i was only practising) so I might get myself techno for christmas :D
The techno was the very first one I ever purchased about 4-5 years ago...
Hi jihmmie,:D
Are you satisfied with your techno:confused: :o
Armitage, you have to enjoy what you do or else don't do it;) :D :p
Armitage
18-12-2007, 19:58
I WAS enjoying it too much i was only practising but hours per day :D so now im having shorter sessions (but very effective as i see) and i play more with it..
sorry for spaming your thread
Hi everyone :D
Some details about my mini-session which was quite nice;) :)
Didn't managed to break my metal but managed quite alot of 11k scores;) :D
As for the plastic managed a 13672;) :D Quite close.Eh?;)
Also with my new tech. managed R-11.7k and L-11.5k:D ;) (though i do believe that my right needs more practise at this because my scores weren't very stable):o Also managed 90s L-12.8k and R-11.8K:o
A quite nice session for me;) Thank God i'm improving,let's hope i'll continue;) :)
Armitage
18-12-2007, 20:27
cool, it still bugs me if you do this with regular you could get 14 k :D
Hi ESL, nice score you have there!!, 13.672 with a Screamer???!, It will be very hard to pass... ;) , maybe when your Regular arrive (you sent it to Ireland?), your scores will go down (when I made 13.650 with a Neon, and my regulars arrived, my scores went down, because they have different sounds!, imagine the difference with a Screamer!!:p )hehe, I hope that you won't have the same experience...
About my Powerballs, I bought like 3 in my country, others from present and the rest from Internet (Here are MUCH more expensive. For example, a Regular Pro cost like 60 dollars!! :confused: ), and the Extremely bad people selling Powerballs here, locked my count and I I can't make nothing there... :confused:, so Stupid, I just asked a few questions about rotors and championships... (They only want: Buy your Powerball, and get out of Here! :p :D )
PS: I want to see a 13.6k again next time, keep motivated!
Regards!! ;)
Thanks both Armitage and xaverr:D
Hope so, Armitage,hope so;) :D
Ihaven't yet my balls to Ireland so though surely till Monday i'll go to the post office;)
Anyway, here in my country they sell them 50 dollars a 250Hz Pro,though i managed to buy my screamer at 30 dollars from the internet;) :D
Hope that i'll keep going :D ;)
PS:Armitage i'm still waiting to see those 13.5k scores from you;) :)
Today had a quite nice session i must say:D :)
Not a plastic record but got a metal my metal twice today;) :D
Highest plastic was 1352**(quite nice:D )
With the metal almost all of my scores were over 11k (execpt one)
Mananged a 11322(5rpm) 11389(new record;) ) and 11433(another new record;) :D )
Also with my new tech. managed a R 12k score and left was about 11.5;) :D Also managed a 1291* 90s RH and a 13019LH:D ;)
A good session i must say.Lets hope i'll continue like this;) :)
Wooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhooooooooooo:D :D :D
No,i haven't yet broke the 14k.I just wanted to express my happiness about Christmas holidays:p :D
Now, i've got 2 weeks to show to this little, screaming beast who's the boss;) :D :p
PS: I'll have a session later on;) :)
Tstering
21-12-2007, 10:09
HEHE. Good luck with that 14K barrier. I'm sure you will smash it soon enough. Wish I had 2 weeks off now :(
Thanks Tstering:D Hope i will soon;)
Good luck with your scores too;)
As for the 2 weeks holiday, don't worry about it and don't forget that you've got everything that someone would want.....a powerball:D :D :D

Great work ESL, always great when you break a record, onwards and upwards to 14K.
Nice score ESL, congrats for your new record!!, you are very close to 13.8k now, and just after a few months, probably when you have one year as me, 14k will not very hard ;)
PS: Update your sign...:D
PS2: New record (13.965!!):cool:
Thanks both Tstering and xaverr ;)
Hope that i'll get 14k before 2008. Well, maybe i'm abit too optimistic so let's say before 2009:p :D
PS: Update your sign...:D
Oh yes, totally forgot that :)
PS:Congrats for your score xaverr;)
Hi all:)
Today had a session with some satisfying results;)
Managed some good plastic scores with 13612 being the highest:)
With the metal got a score of 11.3k and one of 11.2k:)
With my new tech. managed a 12.2k score right hand and a 11.7k score left hand:D 90s were RH-131** and LH 128**:D
I think it was quite a good session:D Hope i'll keep going;)
Rest a day ESL!!!:p , why you make session every day???, you don't have pain in your muscles and hands?? (how many runs speed you do per session?)
Congrats for that 13.6k!!, keep moving that wrist! :p ;)
Maybe if you rest 1 day between session, your scores will improve a little. Indeed I make that (with 90 sec. in the start),and help me a lot..
Regards!!;)

22-12-2007, 22:06
ey ESL post a screenshot of your graph!
i am curious about your results!
Thanks xaverr:)
I rest after 2 sessions.So right now i'm resting;)Hope is enough.:o What do you think:confused:
Per session i do about 5-10 speed runs and lots of endurance;) :o
animaster,
Can you please tell me how to do that:o :o :o :confused:

open it -> press print scrn -> open paint -> press CTRL+V -> save it
if you have an photobucket account:
upload your image and copy link to this page like this:
www.photobucket.com/blahblahblah.jpg
if you haven't:
go to www.photobucket.com and make an account! i suggest that you are smart enough to get started here!
Thanks animaster:D Don't want to sound stupid but where's print scrn:confused: :o
Forget what i just asked i used Ctrl+C:D
Here's the link;) http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg299/ESL013/powerball/progress.jpg
Hi all:)
Today had a session with some nice scores;)
Got a 13650 plastic:) though LH only 11998:o :( (seems it needs some practise;) )
Metal was disaster where while i was spinning at high speeds it was slipping out of my hand:eek: :o :)
With new tech. managed a 12.4K RH and 11.4K LH:D ;)
Had a nice session i think.Lets hope i'll keep going;) :D

nice and steady!
but a low res... maybe...ah!
do you use a QWERTY keyboard?
and a PC or laptop?
maybe u could make a pic?
at ketboard QWERTY PC: above arrow keys left of scroll lock.
Nice ESL, I can see that you are recover from your Powerball's problem (Only 12k), now you have to keep training like that and you MUST have to improve. No Powerballing, no gain ;)
Thanks both :D
Hope so xaverr,hope so;)
animaster,What do you mean by saying "maybe u could make a pic?":confused: :o
PS: What's a QWERTY keyboard? and i've got a PC
er... above home insert, and all of those buttons, which i call the "square of control" (or somthing like that ^_^) theres three more buttons which are pause|break, scroll lock and print scrn|sysrq <<<this one is the button to take a screenshot, later on go to paint and press ctrl+v/paste command and the screencap will be in place.
Glad to help,
Ron ^_^
Thanks ronasor:D
To be honest computer isn't my best pal :o :p :D ;)
Hi all:D
Today had a fantastic......day (not session:p :D )
Actually i didn't have a session today.Well, i was supposed to but, hey it's Christmas, relax:D :D ;)
Ate some nice goodies and had fun with family:D
Surely i'll have a session tomorrow;)
Merry Christmas:D
Today's session was nice:)
Got a 13502 RH and 11998LH(really needs pracise):o :D
Metal wasn't very good with a 1100* score:o :)
With new tech. got 3 scores over 12.4k RH and 11.7 LH:D
I think that i need anticlockwise RH to get a new record.Is there somone who spins like this:confused:
Hi ESL..., why do you want to change tech???, are you mad??:p , you started just like 3-4 months and you can make over 13.5k!!, you are crazy!!:rolleyes: , the people who change their tech (for example Adrenalin: now he is R ACW), was because he spent more than a year(or two) and can't get over 13.5k..., My advice is to keep training with your Normal tech, and try to make just one 90 sec. every session, that helps me a lot... ;)
No, no xaverr:D You got it wrong :D I don't want to change my actuall spinning technique, i just want to exercise different muscles;) :D For example i feel the "inner" part of my forearms aren't much exercised.How to train them:confused: :D ;)
Thanks for the advice;) :D
hehe, ups, was a mystake...:p Try with some weight, in english let me think how to say it...:rolleyes:
Pick up some weight with your hand, and put your arm in your leg(when you are sit down), and try to put the weight up and down(palm looking to the sky), then turn your palm, looking to the floor, to train the others muscles of the arm..., that help me a lot, oh!, and buy a Grip, now I have a better grip and that helps a lot! (A few months ago I thought that it was not necessary, but now I know that I can improve much more my grip)
Regards!;)
Ok thanks xaverr:D ;)
I'll try the one with the weights later on(after my powerball session) and as for the grips, i have some that aren't much "strong" where did you buy yours?:confused:
And another question, how much should be the weight of the things i'll lift?:confused:
Tstering
27-12-2007, 11:29
Spinning RH anti-clockwise will certainly exercise the rest of your forearm. You are more likely though to set records spinning clockwise as you use a bigger muscle group. Having said that Tim (Adrena1n) changed from clockwise to anti clockwise abotu a year ago and is much quicker in the new direction.
Yes, i'll try and spin anti clockwise RH to exercise more muscles,though there's a prob, i can't spin LH clockwise:o :D :D
Tstering
27-12-2007, 11:42
With practice you'll be able to spin LH clockwise. Took me a while to get use to it, but eventually I could do it.
Yes, LH needs practise on both, clockwise AND anti-clockwise:D :p :D ;) :o
Today had a very nice session though with no records;)
Managed a 13760 with the screamer:D Just 5 rpm:eek: ;)
New tech. managed 2 12.9k RH:eek: :D and 11.7k LH;)
Metal was awful:o :)I lost my grip on it and can only get it to 10.8:( Never mind;)
Also 90s were 13.5k RH with my new tech;)
Very good session it was;) Wish i'll have lots of these:D ;)
Tstering
27-12-2007, 14:47
Nice little session there and also a great screamer score.
Thanks Tstering:D
Hope when i'll have my 250Hz well again i'll be ready for 14k;) :D
Very Nice score ESL!!, My Screamer is not very fast yet..., when I made 14.155 my best score was like 12.9k I hope to break a new record today!.
I hope to make a 13.7k with a screamer too, I want to hear that sound...:p ;)
Thanks xaverr:D Good luck with your scores;)
As for the screamer, once you hear it's scream you will never touch a regular again:p :D :p ;) :D
Dual Screamers is also very pleasant, except for the ears :D ;)
Pako.
Totally agree with you Pako;) :D Though i'll have to wait a few months or so to experience that;) :D :o
LOL, poor family heheh...:p, the screamer is becoming more fast, now 13.085 is my record :o ;)
No, xaverr;) It's just my mum:D She wants her ears well :D :p ;)
Now seriously, i just don't want another ball right now;)
And keep wearing in that screamer;) :D
Hi all:) Today had as ession and got some nice scores though not enough for a new record;) :D :( :D
Plastic got 13588 RH and 12168 LH:)
With new tech managed a 12.9 RH and 11.7 LH.:)
Also i first manged to spin the ball clockwise with my left hand altough that was just for a few seconds:o :D ;)
I'll try and train my left hand also so that my scores can become as similar as possible;)
Surely 14k won't come before 2008 for me :o :o :D Though hope it'll come before February;)
Today's session was good:D
Had a 13566 RH and 12065LH plastic:)
Metal: 11054 R and 10620L ;)
With the new technique managed a 12.8k Rh and 11.7k LH:D
Think that my screamer started to be a bit rough than usual.Hope it won't be a problem in the future because i'm already sending my 2 other balls to Ireland:o :D :o
Hi ESl, Nice scores there...!;) (maybe your plastic was a little down:p )
Where are your Powerballs??, are all in Ireland?, about the griper and weight(sorry, I didn't saw that post), I practice with 10 kgs. my
forearms and about the Gripper, I have the one that almost all of Powerballer had. The Ironmind Gripper. (ironmind.com:p ) I recommend you to buy not the Nš1 (If you didn't practice with heavy grippers before)
Regards! ;)
