Saw the video clip an all i saw was a guy having fits holding the ball..... so whats that all about?

 

[ReBornBikeR]

Read about it somewhere,

Where to buy this toy?

[Jengo]

seriously.. izit of any good?? wat good does it have if all it does is juz giving fits to the person olding it?? btw, it sounds funny too.. imagine holding it n u.. YES YOU! getting fits!!!! hahaha..

[mitosis]

Fits as in the guy was going for a record RPM, your rotate your wrists, spinning a dynamo inside the ball, causing it to light up. It as records the RPM of the dynamo, the guy prolly looked like he was getting fits cuz he was shaking his body to gain some extra oomph in the powerballing

[Guest cheeko]

is it only train the forearms which part of the muslce group benefit as well?

[ReBornBikeR]

I think it is like dumbell training but add a little bit of fun factor with the ball.

Should be for the forearm muscle only.

 

Anyway I don't think we can get it in Singapore.

[Guest cheeko]

anymore info on this powerballs thingy

[ozzarhomb]

singapore can buy, in fact i have 1. i'm a rock climber so i find it very useful to help build up the wrist and forearm muscle or at least can give it a good exercise. :smile:

[ozzarhomb]

oh ya, btw, mine does have the rpm meter unfortunately so i can't see how fast i'm spinning, but when u hit a certain speed, the balls sounds like a car's turbocharger getting to work, hear already damn shiok wan.

 

haha it's a very novelty thing lahz, i put in my room whoever visits me will spent a lot of time trying to play with it. :smile:

[ReBornBikeR]

tt time i bought it at adventure 21, a outdoor equipment shop in chinatown point or chinatown square, can't remember the exact name though. pricing wise u have to check back with them ba. :smile:

[ozzarhomb]

oh ya i had mine for about 3 or 4 years already and it's still working so i guess it's rather durable. however, due to the high rev the inner ball feels a little bit looser than before but it'll still get to spin properly. :smile:
