Nice one! 

You started very high up the league so I sense relegation is not far off for me.  You should be up to 14K within some months I'd wager.

Hold it harder.  Much harder.  White knuckle time.

Make the circle smaller.  You understand.

Do it for half an hour, see the difference.

Dave Smith just sent me an idea for a training supplement. I think this would push anyones score up.

Well I for one am glad to be trounced!

Any developments Shoryx?  If you can jump 300 rpm in an afternoon I'd suggest your grip is strong but technique whack.

I'd have thought it the other way round hmmm.... maybe not.these things are too addictive.. The top score felt spot on rythm wise, 14k by the end of the month.. target! tempted by one of them shiny metal ones  :bounce: but 50 smackers is a bit steep

have you partaken in ordering a new un yet? healthy competition and all that  :thumbsup:

The metal is great value @ 50.  It was 100 not too long ago.

I'm not allowed any non-essential purchases at the present time (excluding wine)  :alky:

I just want you to know that I'm not ignoring you shortyx, I'm using my balls daily.  I just can't buy a new one for a while.

Keep at it.

Not been using my ball consistently, but a new PB last night, 11666.
Is this a sign of the devils work?
