Alright, so my brother ordered a powerball from the site a week ago
It came 2 days ago, and we have been at it since.

Basically, a powerball is this plastic ball the size of a tennis ball.  Inside is a rotor that is powered by your hand's motion.  Its in the Guinness book of records for World's Fastest Man Powered Device.  It gives you an insane workout for your hand wrist and forearm.  If you do it in different positions, it can work out different parts of the arm.

The powerball is getting more and more popular.  There are cheap knockoffs, but if you want to have a world record, you need a real one.

Currently my score is always in the 10500 rpms, and my brother is a little higher.  We've been pushing each other to higher and higher rpms haha.  The world record is 16000+rpms, you can watch his video on the main page of the link below.  Honestly you gotta see that guy to believe it.

Anyways, we're looking to buy the more expensive metal powerball for an even crazier workout.  Ive heard from their forums that if you practice with the metal powerball, then go back to the signature series that I have, the score will drastically go up =)

The metal ball's price is a litttttttttle out of our range.  Sooooo, if you guys end up getting a ball, please use my affiliate code, so I can get a little discount on my next ball.

These things are so crazy, I don't think my words do it justice.  Just go check out the site, its worth your time.
