The title is a little mis-leading, nevertheless i wil continue =P
I have had a look at all your videos since you broke the 15k barrier, and i'm still not too sure how your holding it. Earlier today i watched a strength video of Pako getting 18000m now he held the PowerBall in a similar way to you.
I hold the ball with the counter in my palm, and the tips of my fingers just wrapped around the bottom where the ball spins just to give me that extra grip.
I don't suppose Akis, you could or anyone could maybe try and explain to me how you hold this, as i think this is a very effective way to achieve higher scores with the ball.
With my technique i am always improving but i think i am using too much effort for the scores i am getting, don't get me wrong 13000+ is quite hard to get, but i think i could go alot further if i could graps your technique.
Thanks.

Hi Mark
The most effective way to hold the ball is the way which provides the tightest grip. The more you restrain ball’s "dancing" inside your hand, the more you'll force the rotor to accelerate. With my right hand (you may see the 15152/15322 video) I hold the ball ordinarily like you (with the counter inside my palm). With my left hand, I hold it with the counter outwards, because it just suits me better to hold it like this; it's not some kind of special technique.
