I took a try with both of the new blue 250Hz Pros. On the one, I got 10540 on the first try, and 10434 on a subsequent try. The other I can't get above 9000. I haven't tried the orange one yet, but I brought it home, so I'll try it later.

The orange ball spun at 11068 on my first spin. Now I can't get any of them above 9950 or so... I am tired as hell though. =) Night all from this side of the pond... good morning to everyone on the other side of the pond.

Hi Dragon,

Don't overdo it mate. You should not underestimate the power of the ball :)

All three are NEW counterbalanced ones... 2 blue and one orange 250Hz balls.

I spun the fast blue one up to 11400 last night.

Did I hear three powerballs? :)
Do I foresee dual powerball scores here? :P

Yep, I'm taking it easy... I always do a 3-5 minute warm-up at around 5-8000rpm, then take a 1 minute break before trying to run it up to 12k... after I spin it up and check my score, I do a slow-down for another 3-5 minutes so I don't burn myself out. I can go the entire day without any soreness this way.

Yop,

I just had a neon blue 250 pro today, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
My question is, how do you manage to launch it with the finger? (not with the little cord).

Thanks alot!

Hold the powerball with the counter in the palm of your hand. Using your thumb of your other hand, quickly move it across the rotor to get it spinning as fast as possible. You need to have a very good technique before you can get it started from the low speed gained by the flick start.

Just keep practising - you'll get it eventually.
