Powerballs

Play are doing the Neon version for £17.99 including delivery, and original versions from £9.99 including postage (+ quidco too).

BUT - a question from me though, can anyone tell me if there are any differences between the neon versions and the original? Or is it just the lights?? I used one over Christams and it really could help a friend with RSI, but don't wanna pay almost double the amount if it is really just the light - he won't care!

Hi Comic

Noone seemed to have answered this and with the world becoming more aware of the Powerball, Hope i can help

Ive been asked that a couple of times myself and to be honest, they all do the same for RSI and other symptoms as they all spin at 250hz.

The top RPM speeds are so close, you won't get to the top unless you get near the world record but with the use for RSI, this wont be the case as you would need just a consistant speed which won't make your arm ache. The exception speed wise is the Metal which does 20hz.

Mainly its a trend, gadget reason that there are many varieties but the different varieties such as the Neon Pro are very popular, if not more than the 250hz Pro. (Pro meaning it has a digital counter to see how fast you can spin it, where as a Regualar has no counter but can be added later.

Very popular is the neon variety (Blue , Red, Green) which is in fact the same as the 250hz Pro, but has neon lights which do actually look good in the dark (for those of you who have not played with a Powerball)

Other from that, its down to personal preference. Overall, great fun as you probably know by now and my girlfriend is addicted. Play.com are good, and my girlfriend and myself do buy from them for DVD's alot, but sometimes we can't to wait several days when we can get next day delivery elsewhere but each to their own as the saying goes.

We usually send off Powerballs ourselves the same day if before noon, so usually means next day delivery.

Hope that info helps.

My local Asda superstore (aberdeen) had these for £9.99 but I suppose with your Quidco cashback you're best off getting it online!!

* The most enjoyable way to exercise and strengthen your hand-grip and forearm.

* Switch on the LCD Revometer, and using the pull cord provided, spin the internal gyro.

* The test is to see how many revs you can build by spinning your wrist - 5,000 or 10,000?

* As the revs build so does the torque, making it a real challenge to control.

* Batteries included.
