Jaco's Scores

[Jaco Snyman]

Hello Every One

As some of you might of read in another thread, I'm Back. After being quiet for about (3?) years:eek:, I have decided to set aside at least an hour a day for a powerball session:D. My score that I got yesterday was about 13800 revs :o but did not realy take note that closely.

I will post my scores here so that you can keep track of them. I hope to be back in the top 10 in the next few months;), so we will have to see if the long break was good or bad

Will have a session tonight and let you know how it went.

Jaco

[Adrena1in]

I hope to be back in the top 10 in the next few months;)

Well if you manage that then it might inspire me to get back into training, to get *myself* back into the top 10! I'll be waiting for either you, pacman or stojoman to push me down a place. ;)

[Pako]

Jaco, I hope you can inspire me too ;)

regards,
Pako.

[Jaco Snyman]

Well I hope I can do better in the next few weeks to inspire both Pako and Tim.

Last night I started my powerballing session with a few 13600 scores and ended on 13873. Not as high as I hoped it to be. Think the muscles needs to get into shape again, and get used to the motion of the powerball.

Will do a few LH scores tonight as well. Never been much of a LH powerballer so I expect scores of 12K (I Hope)

Will post my scores of tonight, tomorrow morning.

pretty nice scores after such a long break, im interested to see how quickly you get back to your best and do you do any endurance? .

good luck and maybe(i hope) this will be the beginning of a whole wave of past pros returning.

[Jaco Snyman]

After a long weekend in South Africa, I didnt powerball as much as I hoped. Did get in a few spins. not much of an improvement, but every bit helps.

RH: 13948
LH: 12276

I was never much into left hand scores or endurance but will post some endurance runs a bit later.

Have a great day.

Jaco

[Jaco Snyman]

Not much happening from my side at the moment, except sore hands.

slight improvement on my RH. I was never really into the endurance training, but I started of with a 30s. will see how this improves.

RH:13956
LH:12276
30sRH: 5897
Metal: 12195

Jaco

[Jaco Snyman]

Improvements in Red. Small improvements, but hope it will become big improvements soon. I think it will take me about 4 to 6 months to get back into good shape and hitting 14900 avereage all the time. Any thought on this?

It took me 6 months to hit 14.8k. You have previous experience and I think that if you can keep you motivation high you will hit 14900 as you have planned. Motivation is the most important thing for me - if you want something very much you will do it. In powerball community there are guys that have a lot of potential, but they are not motivated to use it. You can join the online competitions that are organized each week - it would be great to talk with you :p

[Adrena1in]

Personally I would have thought it will happen quicker. The rate you're training I'd expect you to be back to the 15k area within 2 months. :)

[pacman]

its taken me 11 months to get back and beat my score of 15128.
although iv had to stop due to injures for couple of months,
now with proper gym sessions im stronger and scores are showing it.
i beat score again sat and was just short of new rec again 15156 .
the key is regular sessions every week no fail.
and u will soon be back up to 15ks
looks like scoreboard is going to be busy with low 15ks.
seems 15600 is a safe zone and target to go for anything below isnt at moment.

some nice scores there but i think you can do alot more also give a couple 2hand runs ago

[Jaco Snyman]

Hi Bman

Thanks for the word of confidence. I was never into Endurance runs, and only started now. Will keep practising and hopefully improve a bit. (that is actually what everybody wants i Guess)

Here with my scores. Did not do any runs on the 250hz this weekend, I got my Raptor and could'nt put it down.

[Jaco Snyman]

After my session last night:

250Hz RH Speed Run: 13973
250Hz LH Speed Run : 12276

250Hz 30s RH: 6093

[Jaco Snyman]

The Raptor is so addictive that I havent spend any time on 250Hz ball in a while. Will give it a try on the weekend again. Last night was playing a bit with the raptor and only increased my LH score:

250Hz RH Speed Run: 13973
250Hz LH Speed Run : 12276

250Hz 30s RH: 6093
250Hz 30s LH: 5041

250Hz 60s LH: 8955

250Hz 90s RH: 14396
250Hz 90s LH: 12345

RH Metal Speed Run:12195

Raptor RH Speed Run: 17683
Raptor LH Speed Run: 15856

[Adrena1in]

This excessive use of the Raptor might do wonders for your Plastic scores. You're going to be building up those fast-twitch muscles nicely.

[Jaco Snyman]

My scores after my session last night. Once again I concentrated on the Raptor, but decided near the end to try the plastic. and like Adrena1in said it looks like it will do wonders for Plastic over time. already an improvement:

250Hz RH Speed Run: 14047
250Hz LH Speed Run : 12488

250Hz 30s RH: 6093
250Hz 30s LH: 5041

[Jaco Snyman]

Hi All

After a 4 day break, had a warm up session ((Heavy Metal, both hands about 5 min each, Plastic 2x 30's each hand, and Raptor about 5 min each hand)repeated twice). After Warm up I once again concentrated on on my Raptor scores and not really on the plastic scores. After warm up I got a few 17200-17500 scores. then I got 17868, 17895, and Finaly 17905. and a slight improvement on the Plastic but did not really put any effort into the Plastic.

250Hz RH Speed Run: 14183

[Jaco Snyman]

HI All

At the beginning of my session last night I decided to do some heavy maintenance on my powerballs. I opened all my powerballs and cleaned them up real good. swopped some shells so the good shells can be together, put in new washers, support bands and the balls feel like brand new. think the maintenance was long over due. Well didnt have much time left after the cleaning but had 2 improvements:

very good but i still think you could do a lot more lh plastic and good luck next session im sure you will be back to your best very soon

[LTLFTC]

Starting to get back up there. What do you feel the difference is between now and when you got 15k?
Did you get lot's of 15k scores what was your average for a usual session back then?

[Jaco Snyman]

Hi Hi


very good but i still think you could do a lot more lh plastic and good luck next session im sure you will be back to your best very soon

bman. I think I can do a lot better to. Sometimes my left hand is just perfectly coordinated and other times it is just ok. I'm going to concentrate on my speed runs next week. I also find that the week I concentrate on Endurance runs I do not get good Speed scores. Anybody find this aswell?

This week I'm still doing quite a lot of endurancce runs, but will take the weekend off and see what happens next week with the speed runs.

LTLFTC, currently it feels as if the ball just do not want to go faster. It almost feels as it does not have the momentum to go faster, but I guess this is all to do with technique. I must just play around with my grip a bit more and then just practice, practice and practice some more.

A few improvements in my session last night:

250Hz RH Speed Run: 14215
250Hz LH Speed Run : 12488

250Hz 30s RH: 6227
250Hz 30s LH: 5504

250Hz 60s RH: 11096
250Hz 60s LH: 9534

250Hz 90s RH: 15494

RH Metal Speed Run:12455
LH Metal Speed Run: 11272

Raptor RH Speed Run: 17905
Raptor LH Speed Run: 16158

Will try some two handed endurance runs tonight.

Jaco

[Adrena1in]

I also find that the week I concentrate on Endurance runs I do not get good Speed scores. Anybody find this aswell?

When I spent the majority of my time on endurance, and was seeing good results, more often than not my speed scores would drop quite dramatcally. There were times I could hold 13.5k for 30s, but then not be able to score much over 13.8k in a speed run!! Haven't worked my endurance for a long time though - I ought to get back into it.

[LTLFTC]

I also find that the week I concentrate on Endurance runs I do not get good Speed scores. Anybody find this aswell?
Jaco

I have found endurance has varying effects on my performance. If I just do endurance it tends to slow down my speed. I did a couple of weeks of an hour a night plastic at 10k+ and it dropped my speed right off.
I got a new plastic record three weeks after my 24 hour run.
I got up to 15k from 14.3k after 7 weeks of 4 times a week one hour heavy metal sessions with wrist weights doing around 6-7k.
On any normal session my highest score will usually be within one or two runs of doing a 2 handed 90s or 30s run. My 15k was straight after a 19200rev 90s gripper.
Good speed will normally result in good endurance for me but good endurance doesn't always equate with good speed.;)

[Jaco Snyman]

hi everyone

just so that you know, i'm still here. i was sick in bed last week and did not powerball at all. will start again tonight and will concentrate on speed runs.

will let you know how it goes.

sorry to hear and good luck

[Jaco Snyman]

Had a little bit better session last. The ball that i get my records on i dont think is going to last much longer. I cleaned a ball last night to but after i cleaned it i could only get 11500 on the ball. must propably still work in the ball?

Last night session:

250Hz RH Speed Run: 14266
250Hz LH Speed Run : 12488

250Hz 30s RH: 6342
250Hz 30s LH: 5504

250Hz 60s RH: 11096
250Hz 60s LH: 9534

250Hz 90s RH: 15494
250Hz 90s LH: 13266

RH Metal Speed Run:12455
LH Metal Speed Run: 11272

Raptor RH Speed Run: 17905
Raptor LH Speed Run: 16158

[Adrena1in]

...after i cleaned it i could only get 11500 on the ball. must propably still work in the ball?

Probably just needs "roughing up" a little after it's clean, but that's a pretty big drop in speed. If it doesn't speed up again very quickly then I'd guess something was wrong.

[avfc]

As adrena1in previously said, i think it just needs wearing in a bit and well done on your good rh plastic scores

[Koman]

Totally agree to this.
