Great Fun January 9, 2009
D. Orton (North Yorkshire, UK)
The PowerBall is great. It's fun and addictive once you get the hang of it. I struggle to take it seriously as an exercise device, but find it useful for easing muscle tension in the wrists, hands and lower arms. It generates a lot of force so should be used with caution if you have any weakness in your hands or wrists. Also, it is quite large and even though I'm a quite a big bloke, I don't find it all that comfortable to hold. I imagine that anyone with small hands will really struggle. So, it's fun and good for beating tension or stress, but I'm not sure I would go so far as to endorse it for exercise or rehabilitation.
 Do NOT use if you have RSI January 3, 2009

Reviews, and the booklet that comes with this ball, say it is good for relieving RSI. It's NOT. I have a long-term, chronic RSI problem with ulnar nerve damage: I got the ball because I'd read reviews saying how good it was for RSI. I used it for a short time and my RSI got much worse: I stopped using it immediately. Two hours later my little finger was still numb.I don't know if it is any good for other types of RSI, but please don't use it if you have the same sorts of problems as I have.
 VERY addictive!! January 2, 2009

I got my Nephew a Power Ball 250Hz for Christmas, he is a goalkeeper in a successful local team, I thought it would help strengthen his arms and hands up, so in turn help him grip the ball better, he is only 16.
He came round Christmas day and said he could not get the hang of this 'toy' as he called it, so had a go myself, I picked it up and after a couple of minutes I got the thing going, it is a little awkward at first but read the instructions and all becomes clear. After showing him what to do to get the ball spinning and to keep it spinning, he got the hang of it and loves it.
After using the power ball you can feel the effect it is having, and with practice keep it going for long periods, wind this ball up and the effect is amazing, it is totally addictive (to me anyway), so much so that I am going to order myself one, just to keep the dreaded arthritis away and keep the arms and hands in working order, a daily work out with the Powerball should do this.
Fun, Addictive and also good exercise.

Can become quite addictive, you will get lost of glances from strangers, but once they see what it is, then you can be assured they want one aswell
The best choice of Powerball to go for: 250Hz Pro November 11, 2008

There are a lot of Powerballs to choose from; if you're undecided then go for this one. It has the digital display which is a must-have, and none of the other gimmicks the other Powerballs have that only serve to slow the ball down.
Starting the ball can be awkward with the lace, but after a while you will be able to do this with your hand and bin the lace - at this point the Powerball is a lot more fun and accessible. It will take a few days to learn the proper technique of spinning the ball - persevere at this because once it is mastered you hardly have to move your arm to keep it spinning. It's surprising how much forearm muscle you'll use with this minimal movement.
They are a lot of fun and are one of the best ways to build up forearm strength. A bit like the hand spring grips you can get but you are more likely to use the Powerball because of the variety of things you can do, and the fact there is the challenge of beating your personal best.
Highly recommended, and a great gift idea.
