What are Powerballs?

Amazon.co.uk: Grip Trainer - Powerball 250hz Pro: Sports & Leisure

Keep seeing these things on Amazon and I have no idea what they are for, reading the details doesn't really explain to me other then they vibrate and you hold them.

Anyone got one, and why have you got one?

its a gyro thingie. you have to make it spin via velocity or smth, its quite addictived. basically you make the ball inside spin around and with movements with your wrist and arm in the right speed/motion will make it spin faster and faster, you will then try and set a highscore of rpm's

 

[Blackjack]

I have one of these.

When you spin it, it pretty much feels like you have a weight at the end of a piece of string, and the faster you swing it, the heavier it feels.

Why have i got one? i like gadgets... and it's actually quite good exercise for your wrist and forearm.

They are supposed to be good against "mouse" arm.

NSD Powerball Gyroscope for sports and fitness, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, tendonitis, wrist pain and grip strength they're bloody brilliant, hours of fun and they build grip, wrist strength and forearm strength. Surprisingly affective, you wouldn't expect a small gyro to hurt that much when you first start... However get the metal one if you think you're hard enough! I can only just get 13,500 on the normal one

thanks guys, might buy one now ;o I can't believe that no one has posted the balls are inert though!

Not sure what they are, but I bet they smash into hundreds of pieces if you threw one really hard against a concrete wall.

Clearly been reading up on them a lot, Lamp.
