I forgot the most important bit, damn you nerds and your confusing anti/clockwise chat for putting me off.

I just checked, I have crushed another boy!!!      

[Houdini]

I posted a link on this thread "now look you" that links to PBHQ and exercises.  I can't be arsed to repeat myself an infinitum.   

Ignore all the ACW CW crap:  Turning it away from your body is clockwise.  Turning it into your body is ACW.  Water is also wet.  Fire is hot.  Other basic lessons in life such as how to suck eggs will cost you cash I'm afraid.

[slackline]

Turning it away from your body is clockwise.  Turning it into your body is ACW. (whilst holding it in your right hand)

I posted a link on this thread "now look you" that links to PBHQ and exercises.  I can't be arsed to repeat myself an infinitum.   

  Did you get out the wrong side of bed this morning, grumpy?  I'll go and look for your previously posted link right now 

[Houdini]

I certain almost all of us can work out what it is in our L too . . .

I'm not grumpy - I've had sexytime and everyfink, but you get people saying "I've read the whole thread now" then ask a question such as the perennial classic, "How can you start it w/ out a string!"  Interesting question . . .   By-the-by, how do you start it w/ out a string?

 

[magpie]

I read the whole thread in the beginning before I initially posted on it but that was ages ago, years of abuse mean my photographic memory isn't what it used to be so now I have to go and read it all again to find the link     

My short attention span isn't helping either, see how I came back to check you hadn't decided you were too harsh and had now posted the link for me, I'm lazy but ever hopeful 

[Houdini]

Just visit www.powerballs.com and save time and grey hairs.

[magpie]

I got that far myself, it's the exact page I need that I am confused by ----> me 

Thanks though   

Edit:
Your link doesn't work anymore, 13 pages I had to re-read to find that out



Ha ha!  Here it is (I'll put the link in for other lazy people):

Can we now do a correlation with who's climbed 8b and who's a punter

[GCW]

Make that:

Houdini  10,192 (both hands)
Houdini  7,608 (one hand, standing Start)


Dylan, what are you classing as "punter"?  We can maybe sort a correlation once we define our terms

[magpie]

I am officially a punter how ever you class it, I am still doing this  in real life over not being bottom of the table.

[Houdini]

Reckon you would be hard pushed to correlate anything but forearm mass to PB ability.  Or perhaps something involving boredom threshhold?

Still, that's what I get for getting cocky I suppose

Thought my arm was gonna explode. Can't get anywhere near my top speed PB at the moment.

[GCW]

Thought my arm was gonna explode.

Try the 60s and 90s events 

Can't get anywhere near my top speed PB at the moment

I've been hitting 12,300 regularly but can't get the extra ooomph.  I'm definitely goign to get a new ball, as this one is fucked.

[Plattsy]

Try the 60s and 90s events 

i've tried the 60sec one. Think I got something like 7500. My arm died about 40 seconds in and I ended up doing a full body shake just to keep it going 

What I can't work out is how your average revs/30sec increases between your best 60 and 90 second scores.

60sec 30sec average = 5083
90sec 30sec average = 5093

[Serpico]

What I can't work out is how your average revs/30sec increases between your best 60 and 90 second scores.

60sec 30sec average = 5083
90sec 30sec average = 5093

The first ~10 secs have the lowest revs because you're getting the ball up to speed, so the longer you spin the better your avg?

[slackline]

The first ~10 secs have the lowest revs because you're getting the ball up to speed, so the longer you spin the better your avg?

Most people do the endurance from a rolling start (i.e. ball already up and running).

With regards to your average, its all to do with sampling.  The number it reports is an average over the time period.  This average is a sample of one (a point estimate) from a distribution of possible scores which ranges from zero to whatever the physical upper limit is (viz. Akis or some other wad).  If you repeat your 60 second you'll find that you don't get exactly 5083, but somewhere thereabouts (assuming your putting in the same effort under similar conditions, i.e. starting whilst ball already rolling).  Repeat this say 30 times (a good minimum to get a decent estimate of the population mean) and you get a better estimate of what your 60 second score is.

Ditto for the 90 second, again its a point estimate.  Repeat it 30 times and you're not going to get the same score, but somewhere thereabouts, average these out and you get a better impression of what your 90 second average revs are.


If the two estimates from 60 seconds and 90 seconds are close then thats indicative of stamina/endurance, i.e. you can maintain a constant speed for long periods without fatigue (unless your using the "burst" method of course).  If your 90 second is lower than your 60 second then you lack stamina/endurance.

Note that what people are reporting here is there best score on the endurance, thats not to say they get that score each and every time.

[Houdini]

Everyone should get new balls (especially me) but train on your old balls and use the new only for high-speed attempts.  The more you use them the slower they get.

I'm still a fan of the original noisier ball, it's a sluggish performer but the resistance feels good for training.  The lack of a counter makes it very comfortable (especially if you've smaller hands, Magpie).

[magpie]

I don't think I'm hardcore enough to warrant two balls just yet Houd, maybe one day, when I get in the big boys league
