Hi everyone,:)

OK,i've already posted this at gyrotek so if you've anwered me there, there's no need to post an answer here:D (thanks for the answers at gyrotek):D

As the title says i'm unable to get 13k anymore.This happened after 4 days resting.:( (so don't rest more than a day!:D :p )
Anyway, today the highest score i got was 12600 and that was before warm up.How can this happen,getting a higher score before warm up?:confused:

Any advices will be really helpful:D

Hi, glad to see you experience what everyone else does at some point. The key to this is that you have probably been over training without really appreciating the demands on your body. We often call this a cold spell, when you will not get anywhere the scores you have been achieving, but it is usual that after a couple of days rest you will surprise yourself even without a warm up and good scores close to or above your best will come out the blue!

This is a good sign stick with it but remember do not over training give your body the rest it needs.

Keep spinning

There you go ESL. Friday night I was 14k with both hands. Tonight 13.4 left 13.2 right. It's a rollercoaster ride that happens to not even the best of us. Just don't get to down, do the yards and the numbers will come:D

My Powerballing rollercoaster is a bit like Oblivion at Alton Towers. Initial rise, then a bit of a plateau and then a slight drop and a pause in proceedings. Changed tecnique and I dropped vertically down to even lower than when I first started! Then another rise which is continuing but levelling out.

If you've been on Oblivion, or know the one I mean, I'm obviously coming to the end of my ride it would seem! :o :p

Thanks everyone:D
Now i'm resting till Monday:( :D And if this doesn't work i may try what Adrena1in suggested at gyrotek.net (changing spinning direction):)
Although i hope resting will help cause i don't wanna wait 3-4 months till i get used to my new spinning direction to get new scores:D :p

Leave that as a last resort though, as I think it's a bit early in your Powerball life to need to do that. I started in about August 2004, and after a few months I was nearly at 13k. I slowed down my training a bit, then picked it up again in around March 2005, and between then and October 2005 I got to 13.5k. It was then several months that I spent struggling to reach 13k, and it got harder and harder. So early in 2006 I tried reversing my spin-rotation, but I didn't do it 100%...I just did a bit. By September I was doing it more and more, and my scores overtook my old rotation direction scores.

Here are perhaps some threads at Gyrotek which might interest you;

Don't expect to break new records first day back it usually takes me two or three sessions after a long break to be back kickin butt. I say this because first time I took a long break I was so dissapointed not to get 16k my first spin back:p:p:p

13K is certainly a big hurdle to get over for me too.

Got over 13k a handful of times now, but I feel this is more down to "luck" than any skill or strength.

However, consistently getting 12,500+ and speeds generally sitting just under the 13K mark.

On the other hand...(sic)...my Right Hand Speeds are now catching up with my left. :D
