First Scores

Moose · GyrO-Newbie Inscrit le: 30 Oct 2005 Messages: 7

Hi all,
I am from Australia and recently purchased an amber Powerball 250Hz about 2 days ago.

Anyways, I was wondering what high scores everyone could manage when they first got the ball?

I have managed 10297 with my right hand and about 9946 with my left.
My brother managed 11351.

My wrists and arms are nice and sore today.

So let us know how you went when you were a beginner.

Hi Moose,

Just have a look at my interview on this website Very Happy

, you will find my beginner scores there. But I can say...yours are really not that bad. I think we might have gained another powerball talent here Wink

.

Keep spinning them fast,

The Force

I think my first score was about 9000 revs when I got the Powerball going, (after about 40 minutes of trying!), and I could last for about 20 seconds before my muscles were screaming. Now I can keep it going at that speed for over an hour, swapping hands every so often.

I've been quite a slow improver. Some people get to over 14000 in just a few weeks, (and I loathe natural Powerballers like that!) Wink

Slow improver or not...as long as you improve you should be happy. For me it has been over 3 months ago since I did my 14k+ speed record Sad

I just managed an 11185 with my left hand, which is odd, because I have only tried using the ball with my left hand a few times, and my technique is not very good.
With my right hand I did a best of 10973 (so close to the 11k mark).

I am realising how important technique is once you get up to the higher scores... I find by keeping my whole forearm tensed it helps improve the speed.

Now I have to beat my brother's score...

Indeed, if you try to get the speed from your wrist movement while holding your underarm as tight as possible you get higher scores.

Do not forget to do endurance training as well. That basically lifts "the floor" of your performance. Moreover, a few minutes after a nice endurance training may give you the "HOT MODE" as Akis calles it. At one day I broke my record with my right hand with not less than 500rpm!! (from 13600 to 14100) right after a 90sec endurance run.

Good luck with beating your brothers score.
