I can't find exactly the one I want from Duane, so here's Akis doing it w/ a custom metal affair.  He's got a different technique, but notice his hand bend a little at the wrist when close to the end.



Look at the fuckin' arms on him!

Look at the fuckin' arms on him!

[magpie]

Look at the fuckin' arms on him!

I'm not a fan of his arms, too chunky for my liking.   I think he'd benefit from less pies, more powerball. ???


Also I can't concentrate on his technique cause I am too busy giggling like a school girl at how much he looks like he's having a frantic 

[GCW]

Rrrraaaaaaaaa!!!!  Go ballistic!!

[Houdini]

Urrrghh!   I'm epileptic!  Never was but I am now!

Urrrghh!   I'm epileptic!  Never was but I am now!

will you be having a bath soon i need to do some washing.

[GCW]

I can downsize that for your avatar, Houd

[Houdini]

Leppy or no, I'm not bathing in his wifes' crotchless panties! 

[magpie]

I can't beat my high score and I have wanker's cramp in both hands that would rival a 13 year old who just discovered Playboy 

[Houdini]

Play w/ it at home and not at work where you can slowly warm up for half an hour before stretching, resting, drinking water - then crush the fuck out of it.

[magpie]

I was playing with it at home, that's why I woke up with claws instead of hands at the weekend 

Don't worry, I have a game plan, it will be crushed (or at least squeezed a bit, by my teeny tiny hands)

[Monolith]

Finally broke the 12k barrier this morning with 12,060.

[Houdini]

Just had a brief play w/ my duff & slow 250Hz (after a double P/ball warm-up  )

And got 11 803  (1st try) RH a/clockwise.  It's spasticating trying PB's a/clockwise.  Give that one a break I think.

[Duma]

11912, first thing again, watch out 12k.
Soon be challenging for a European place.

Take it as an incentive to get an extra 577rpm.
Go on, you can do it.

[magpie]

I'm consistant at the low 8000's now, and I can swap hands and do CW and Anti-CW.  Must try harder 

[Houdini]

Yeah, he's got another fortnight or so in Font (which will probably be spent crimping, so maybe no rush afterall) but he'll return fit or fucked.

(Must admit I hardly touch mine now . . .  Lack of competetion . . .)

[Yossarian]

I have finally taken mine out of the box and managed 10756 this morning...

8482, I am slowly sneaking up my score.

[richdraws]

After reading this thread and having smoggy insist I get one I now have a shiney neon powerball. So far its proved addictive and frustrating. I got it on tuesday and was trying it out at work, felt pleased to be getting 8,000 ish. My skinny supervisor tried it and got just shy of 12000. Something to do with a tournament they had before I started work there. Bastards.

Anyway my best score so far 9850.

[richdraws]

Scratch that...

10103 yessssss.

[Monolith]

You'll be through the roof in no time lad. Taken me the best part of a month to get anywhere near like something you might call 'technique'.
