Hey all!

So ive had my powerball for about a month now and im completely hooked on it!

The first week I used it nonstop, so much that on the second week I couldn't even use it because my arms and hands were to sore...

Week 3 I used it just a little and only spinning slowly to build a little endurance and stamina.

The first few days of week 4 I used it constantly, breaking all my previous records, once again overdoing it (just so damn addictive!!:D).

My scores:

hello and welcome it is great to see new people here.

i would recommend that you try to do a couple of really hard 30s one after the other to get used to holding higher speeds.

good luck

Will definitely give it a try! Im still resting a bit though... Shoulder giving me a hard time.

Bman, Ive seen that you get some wicked scores using the ED Tech, does this not damage the powerball?:eek:

yes it does damage the ball in my opinion,plus I would suggest you use grip tech due to it being the technique of true endurance spinners.

good luck after your rest and don't push your shoulder to much:D

Scrooge
02-01-2011, 01:45
Yes I try to use grip. Like the way it makes your arm burn!!:D

My shoulder gets quite sore, but it's right at the joint... then again its my own fault, its only when I really push myself for way too long. Its feeling better now but ill give it another day just to be sure. Really looking forward to my next powerball session!

Had a great session 2 days ago!

Just one of those sessions where you can spin for hours on end without to much pain(knowing that tomorrow you arm will probably fall off:D).

Hit 12K at least 15 times and 126** at least 4 times. Only upped my score by 62 taking my total to 12680. Endurance runs were also pretty good, but no scores broken there...

Still waiting for a score on the scoreboard to be approved (kinda disappointed that its taking so long) Think as soon as I see my name on the scoreboard it should seriously motivate me.

A bit more off the topic here. My disabled sister got 10118 on the 90s run! This is quite a good score considering she only started balling 5 days ago and she can only use one hand, gripping all the way! Very proud of her! :D

Congrats for your 12.7k, but I think you will get 13k soon ;) so, push for it!

keep spinning!

Scrooge
12-01-2011, 17:03
Thanx! Think all the endurance runs are paying off!

13k is next months goal, for now im going to do my 24hour marathon preperation!

Going to get gloves and plasters tomorrow. Ive convinced a friend to join me so we are going to start on Saturday at 10am(cat)

Im way excited!

I have a tight fitting glove that I also tape over. I will try and get some pictures of them up for you if I can tonight. Good luck

Scrooge

That would be much appreciated!

I think I pulsed! Was just messing around a lil and tried moving my arm up and down at high speed and I got 12987! But afterwards my back muscles were a bit sore, I used different muscles but now im feeling perfect! Guess I have a new technique to master!

Two days till the marathon, and I got my friend to join me! We bought our powerballs together a while back and ive convinced him to join me in the 24hour run! Going to be so awesome!

Hope you get time to put that pic up! Thanx LTLFTC!

wow those gloves look pretty hardcore! So when shopping for gloves we found some weird material/synthetic rubbery stuff. I knew that it would give great grip! Bought a roll and tried to make a glove with it. No luck. So i just wrapped it over my powerball and it works like a charm!

Now im wondering if we are allowed to wrap something over the powerball when doing speedruns? Did a few speedruns and burst through the 13k barrier with 13195

12hours to go till the marathon!

Scrooge

we are going to start at 12pm! 30min to go!

Will try and update every now and then but only using my phones internet now... Bummer.

We made it! 24 hours of non stop powerballing! The last hour was pure hell. The silence of stopping the powerball was sweet music to my ears. Took a shower and went to bed.

Woke up with sore and slightly swollen hands. I dont to touch or hear a powerball for the next month!

So I ended up with 8666800 and my friend Tjips got 7010700

Nice work, you'll be powerballing again before the week is up:p

Scrooge
18-01-2011, 11:50
I must say that the 24 hour powerballing was quite a challenge! the last 3 hours took ages and my hands and arms were so sore that I could barely get anything over 8k.

Tried to ball again last night but its just too damn sore, hehe.


So can anyone tell me if its ok to wrap your powerball with something to give you more grip? Will scores still be accepted?

So after some good rest and a new ball I had a few good runs around 12.9k but no 13k again. Its close thou, but im feeling a cold creeping up on me. All weak and sore throat. Not cool, was really looking forward to a nice long session. Took some meds so hopefully tomorrow or the day after. Want to pass my 13195 to bump myself into the 7th div on the scoreboard!
