when i first had a go of this i thought oh no! another bad buy like the pucchi pucchi stashed in the back of a draw somewhere. but no! after a few goes i started to get the hang of it, that was it then i was hooked. make sure you get the one with the counter so you can see how fast you can spin it then you will try your best to better your last score. anyway be careful because you will suffer the next day. ive tryed various exercise equipment over the years and never felt forearm 'burn' like this before. addictive and great exercise for the arms. just received the metal version look out for a review.

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

This powerball is actually pretty cool, it does excercise your forearm and definately your hand to some extent although i remain skeptical as to it being able to excercise the bicep and pectoral muscles (as shown in the little minidisc that accompanies this powerball version), this along with some captains of crush grippers will definately help improve hand strength. I originally thought this was another gimmicky fitness thing of which there are so many... but i think i was wrong this time, its definately got its uses. For low-average strength people this powerball should suffice, for strong people they should look into the metal 350hz version. Its pretty addictive, ive picked it up randomly a few times today, my hands are all sore now though so id ... Read More:

If you have a powerball then you probably want to protect it from dust and other particles that might make your powerball work less then optimally. This case is initially a tight fit, but will loosen a little over time.

i dont think u'll find any better weights for the same price, i bought them probably 3 months ago, admittedly i dont use them as much as id like to but they are really well made and you do get alot for your money. highly recommended for people like me who arnt serious body builders lol. unlike the guy hu left the other comment didnt find the grips too uncomfortable but they are quite rough, enjoy! :)

just to be aware people. i bought this for my dad for fathers day. but in the instructions it said not to use if you have a heart problem, so i was very dissapointed when he couldnt use it!! also it is very hard to get the gyro working.

I got the airbed delivered this morning, the quality is there and there is a punture repair patch as well. I found it was inflated within 5 minutes. Instead of using my foot I used my hand to pump it up via the internal pump. I laughed at some of the reviews which said it took them over half an hour to put it up, all I can say is WIMPS!

I won't go into describing the unit as that's been done by everyone else... I'll focus instead on my pro's and con's.
Pros: easy to use, accurate (other people seem to have had issues, I've found mine very accurate) and it really does work in a pocket/bag etc - this is the best feature really and justifies my buying it.
Neutral: It's in metric (I prefer this), you can't reset it (it works on 24 hour periods) - it doesn't track average speed, the manual doesn't explain what the 'g' figure under calories represents...
Cons: The screen has scratched badly from being in my pocket. It seems a very soft plastic and as such has suffered. Were I to get another one, I would get/make a screen protector.
I bought my first Champ in 1988 and it is still in regular use, having only had a replacement toothpick (15p) and scissor spring (50p). In 1998 I bought the Victorinox SOS kit, which included another Champ, as it was on offer (c£50). It is still as new. Here we are in 2008 and at this price perhaps it is time to buy another one?
These really is an excellent quality product which is fantastic value for money!

This is an excellent product for any golfer who needs a bit of putting practice, particularly aspiring youngsters. It's nicely packaged and easy to set up, you'll just need a bit of space as the mat is a couple of metres long.
