These are addictive little thangs. Anyone else got one? I got mine mainly for stress relief, but it should be also good for improving my grip and wrist strength

Powerballs are fun. My max on my current ball is 8111 rpm. But usually I only lie around 7000 rpm somewhere.
But they are wicked fun. Mine got a light that gets brighter the faster I get it going so it plays very nicely on my fascination for shiny things.
The fastest I've ever gotten one to go was a tiny bit over 10000 rpm, but I'm thinking that was just a fluke since I've never managed to get it to go that fast ever since. It was during a competition though so the timing was awesome, didn't win anything however since some other dude came in after me and got over 11000 rpm :/
But yea, powerballs are nice, I play with them mostly for fun though. I don't really know if they actually do all that much as they claim they do when it comes to the work-out side. Do anyone have any real data on this btw? It would be nice to know.

wst, I don't think that link goes to what you think it goes to. Anyone have a link to show what these things are? I initially just wanted to make a post about having a pair of powerballs myself, but now I'm legitimately intrigued by the topic of the thread.
Totally not a hypothetical...

Ehm, yea that link is a bit random but what I am atleast talking about and what does seem to be the logical subject here is this type of powerball
