I think you need score to be witnessed by Norris McWhirter before you can enter the Top 20. Is it an Olympic Sport yet?

That could prove problematic.

He is now omnipresent and reports new records to the Guiness Committee at regular seances.

You can incant his presence by talking into an empty Guinesss can with a piece of string tied into it and connected to the ground. Make sure the string is tensioned.

if we're into seances you might as well go the whole 9 yards and get both the McWhirter twin brothers.

do you recon you could be the highest person on the list to still be using the string to start it?

What the fuck! that is amazing. If this is a wind up I'll laugh so hard... but I really hope it isn't!

Get some video footage... and then get your score submitted to the official leaderboard. Also include a small line saying "I have been training very hard for powerball for atleast 3 days now, so I want to thank all the people who have supported me in my 3 day powerballing career. Akis, you're next"

The news has already reached Powerball HQ.


The doubting Thomases cite potential counter error.


Scouse:  You need to do this again on a different powerball.  A new powerball, infact Daves' powerball.  Get it on vid.  (Apparently the revs can be counted acoustically) send it to www.powerballs.com

i'm currently sorting out the photo. scouse next you could try holding your phone far enough away from the ball so it can focus, and also try not to do it in the dark. ::)

I like what you've done over at powerball.com Houdini. Very amusing... I'm sure they will be outraged. Scouse, as a matter of UKB pride, you need to go to Dave's house and give his powerball the treatment that it longs for but that Dave can't give...

Just dug mine out cupboard. Amazing batteries still work after it lying unused for 3 years.
10016 on first go (after knackering surf session). Think bearings are shot though, makes crappy grinding noise.

Mad props to the Scouse.
