    Powerballs: does anybody use them?
    http://www.powerballs.com

    One of my mates at uni has one, and it is so amazingly addictive! And I can already feel the benefits after using it a couple of times today. Although my high-score is still crap - about 7800 rpm.

    Does anyone else have one? What's their high score?

    nice. passing 10000 is my next objective, having today learnt how to use the powerball, rather than stop it everytime my friend passed the rotating powerball to me...

    anything between £13 and £25 depending on what sort of model u get. the more expensive one has an rev-counter and LCD screen telling you what your top rpm is that time, and also your highest all time score.

    red string. although there's a clip on the powerball website of the guy who has the top score (15552) getting a 15000+ score, and he started it by hand.

    So clearly you could do it if ur good enough.
