 | You wouldn't think it from first glance, but a Power Ball is actually a carefully engineered piece of kit originally designed to improve the wrist muscles of those who regularly use it. After initially setting the inner section spinning, rhythmic circular hand and wrist movements not only maintain the rotation, but also make it steadily faster. The increased centrifugal force makes it harder to keep the Powerball spinning at the faster speeds. PGA Tour golfer Padraig Harrington has been known to use the Power Ball to improve his wrist strength.  The reason Power Ball gets very addictive indeed is due to the rev counter on the top. That means you get a high score, and will probably want to beat it as time goes on. It also means that other people, who witness your Power Ball antics and see your high score, will call into question your muscular capabilities before sneering and snatching away the Power Ball to consign your high score to history.  Needless to say, male adult humans are the biggest fans of Power Ball's mix of strength and scoring, but anyone can do it. Once you get over the initial hurdle of starting the gyroscope (there are two main ways - flicking your thumb down the wheel, or using the provided cord to set Power Ball in motion like you would an old lawnmower), you are compelled to beat your last mark. Perhaps the gentle hum of a Power Ball subconsciously draws you into continued play. More likely, it's the fact that no one calls you a pansy and 11,532 is the score of a legend. Either way, Power Ball genuinely is hard to put down once you pick it up.
The latest version of Power Ball incorporates super bright blue or green LED lights - the faster you spin the Power Ball, the brighter the lights will glow, adding another level of addictive fun to your exercise regime. Particularly if you like exercising in the dark. Why not take one to your next rave? Instead of lamely waving a couple of glowsticks around you could be building arms strength dynamically! Or you could take one camping and use it as a makeshift torch. Or run around spinning a blue one over your head and making Police siren noises - the only limit your imagination!

PowerBall Techno When you set it in motion, the Techno Powerball slowly comes alive with gyroscopic force. This innovative gyroscope magically scrolls your score across the surface of the rotor (as opposed to displaying it instantly on a digital speed meter as with the other models in the range). The rotor also displays an entrancing collection of 'firelines' as it spins, ranging from red to blue in colour, creating a truly mesmerizing Powerball effect as it gathers speed.
A word of warning - you'll soon become addicted to the Techno Powerball and will want to push this wrist exercise equipment to the max, making it go faster and faster. Don't worry - playing with your Powerball is one habit you won't want to break!
Why should customers buy our NSD Power Balls ?
The Power Ball that you will purchase from our store or from this web site, is the ONLY, REAL Original NSD Power Ball. Be aware of cheap imitaions currently available in the market - they are mass produced in China and not much attention has been paid to the overall quality of the product and proper balancing of the rotor.
There is also a company claiming that their Power Ball is the only original and also prints this on their boxes. They are on average between R50 - R100 more expensive per ball. This product is packaged in a black box, and the rubber band around the Power Ball is also different to ours. Because we have the distribution rights from Nano Second Technology (the Company manufacturing our Power Ball) their product is imported via Ireland, and hence the fact that they are more expensive. Conclusion: Same product, manufactured in the same factory, only difference being that we have the sole rights to buy direct from the factory and they don't!
For your reference, you're welcome to visit the manufacturer's web site at www.nsd.com.tw to see for yourself how the Original Power Ball should look.
