Edouard's Technique

[The Force]

Adrenalin is right, Pako. Always make sure the rotor is below 6000rpm before loosening grip.

Regards,

The Force

Proved again the other day that the Edouard Technique really does allow me to achieve higher scores. I don't like it, but I gave it another try with the Metal. I was managing about 13.1k 90s with a normal grip, then with the Ed-Tech I did 14.1k. The Metal really does keep spinning nicely with a loose grip...a 250Hz slows much more quickly.

I wanna know your opinion about my technique for endurance on Metal Powerball, the results are obviously different but do you agree or not with using this tech for strength on the metal?

Well Dont think its not good for the metal, but indeed u're right, it's not a real strength attempt

On the scoreboards you will see different colors for Edouard's tech, and normal, but the "normal" way has still to be defined...

I begin to be tired of people saying ED tech is a lame Technique, it's the Evil side of endurance etc...

To those people: have you ever tried to achieve a real Ed tech record?

Are you angry because you just can't use this technique? Or what?

Because after a year of using it, I can tell it doesn't harm my powerballs... at least less than full endurance sessions.

- Most of my Ed tech powerballs where also my speed record powerballs.

- If you use ED tech properly, you will be as much exhausted as with gripping tech.

So why not consider it like a technique, and compare ED tech with ED tech scores , and gripping with gripping scores ??





It's up to you to choose a technique, but really, try both and don't think ED tech is the Evil side of Powerball just because you heard some people saying that...

I would consider myself as a person who doesn't really like the technique, but I do agree with what Obi says. If you do it properly it doesn't cause undue harm to the Powerball. I also do get just as tired doing an Ed Tech run as a Gripper run. I also think there's a lot of skill involved, going from a loose grip to a tight grip without loosing too many revs.

My only "issue" is that, in my opinion, (and as I have recently proved), it does allow for higher scores.

But hey, there are no prizes, there are no rewards, just a bit of fame. I'm just as happy and excited to see Jarkko hitting 19k with Ed Tech as I would be to see a Gripper hitting a landmark score. I just keep it in my mind that ETs get 500 to 1000 revs more, that's all.

I totally agree with Obi, thanks for this post dude
I've always said it doesnt harm the powerball... As far as i'm concerned, i've been powerballing for 2years with only 3powerballs
I can understand that some people don't like my tech, but to me a majority of them are just frustrated or jealous (have a look on Roll's post on Jarkko's topic -___-)

Happy spinning

Cool topic going here that I hadnt seen before. I of course totally agree with you Obiw4n, you have great points.

Ed Tech is really a large and discussed subject, people don't agree on some points etc...

But what is important is just to keep in mind the differences between the 2 techniques:

Compare Ed tech scores with ed tech scores and not really with gripper scores, as you do with Metal and plastic. After that you can always have a sort of comparison between people when you check the gap between their ED tech records and gripper records.

At first when I began in ED tech, I couldn't qualify the technique as bad or good ( I mean for the powerball's health) , it seemed bad because it's written somewhere on a paper " never loose your grip on the powerball" but that's all...

But today, I can't really say it's worse than usual 90s.... it could even be less harming for our lovely powerballs than pure 90s...

Nevertheless, I would encourage people to train for Ed tech on old powerballs first. That's because you need to improve you skills from tight grip to loosing it and improving on transitions.... It's like when you started powerball ( at first the rotor is really shaken from every side ->> and that is bad for your powerball's health)

The real problem is: It's hard to handle scoreboards in 90s. Creating 2 scoreboards would be too much, so we chose here to notify the technique used by putting 2 different colours...

Each member chooses what record he wants up on the boards but is still encouraged to show his other technique scores....

And Finally, unlike Pb.com forum, this thread should stay opened to any constructive discussions which could help improving the scoreboards, or help people to understand eachothers opinions
