    Gyro Powerballs

    Mine is still sitting on my desk, untouched since the last time I posted in this thread. I see that it's been a month- time to move it off the desk and back to the shelf in the spare bedroom.

    Gyro Powerballs

    All the videos I saw were for advanced starting techniques without using the starter base or string. But what you can learn from them is watching the hand motion and seeing how they get the gyroscope going. It's a resistance exercise, not a power thing.

    Well I don't think they can be started from a dead stop without something to get them spinning first. And remember this is to work your forearms, not your wrists.

    It's weird trying to get it going at first. You want to shake it around too much. It works by resisting the gyrational forces while rolling it back and forth. It takes a bit of a 'death grip' at first until you get used to it.

    I just dug mine out. It's a different brand, called 'Dyna-Flex'. http://www.dynaflex-intl.com/ I was having trouble getting it going but I guess dust buildup was interfering with the bearings. I took it out to the shop and hit it with the air nozzle and now it works like new. :D

    I didn't see your link but that seems kinda pricey. I think I gave $20-$25 for the regular one I bought from Don Blair at the TCIA expo. 'spensive light! :O

    90 minutes to walk 5 miles? Might wanna pick up the pace a little there, MB. You can get done quicker if you don't stop for ice cream halfway through! :lol:

    I got one at the 2004 TCIA Expo in Baltimore. I think I used it twice after I got home. I could probably find it around here somewhere if you gave me a couple hours.
