After reading a few reviews on here about how one of these devices could improve my squash game I decided to order one off Amazon for ?15 + Free delivery. I figured if I could stop getting arm cramps after a game it might be worth the few quid!
The powerball is a simple enough concept, you jump start a gyroscope contained inside the plastic ball and using a combination of stirring movements you attempt to keep it spinning and hopefully increase it's speed. I'll be the first to admit that this sounded ridiculous to me and that I was only convinced to buy one since I had a leftover dooyoo voucher in my inbox!
Was I proved wrong? Yes and no. It is a ridiculous concept, but I don't have cramps in my arms after playing squash anymore. It's hard to quantify whether or not this was down to the powerball or to an increase in my frequency of squash games. Using the powerball is great fun though, there's something oddly compelling about shaking the thing around, no matter much it looks like a derogatory hand motion. It is very tough on the arms and I produced an embarrassing ~9000 rpm when I first tried the thing!
Build quality is very high, a surprising find for a ?15 product. I'm not an expert on plastics but I can tell it's made of a particularly high grade material, albeit brittle feeling at times. It feels good and solid in your palm, I was never worried about it breaking when I was using it. Other reviews have noted that it breaks easily on dropping it, I guess this is a trade-off between sturdiness and brittleness. Just don't drop it and you'll do just fine!
Overall I'm happy enough with my purchase, if nothing else it was a nice distraction for a few weeks and hey, maybe it did improve my squash game!
Summary: A good laugh and may just improve your grip strength
