Default Powerball - anyone else got one?

Pretty cool gadget, I ordered one the other day and it came this morning. Used it for about 10 minutes earlier and my forearms are killing me!

Anyone else got one? My high score is 10,213rpm at the moment.

Bring your new Powerball up...up to 10,000rpm...the forces are now much stronger, much more vibrant. Higher! Take it to 12,000rpm...no, higher still...take it right up, thrashing and jerking as your arm and wrist try to control and calm it down
And they're trying to sell me one of these...?!?!?

Aye,
I have one. Got it a while back. Sits in my locker @ work. Best I have had was 13800 and odds with the right ......the left is a different story.
Only use it for a few mins at a time but only when I am very bored

bought one for my dad for christmas, he doesnt really have a clue what to do with it
showed him how to use it but it never really sank in, a mate has a simmiler thing but his lights up and flashes patterns around the room while it spins (possibly not a genuine powerball?)

don't do it - its like buying a scoob - you hit 15k and suddenly you need a better model.
(never got over 14870, but it looks so easy)

Well I managed to get 12,240 last night during the bond film, not bad for day 1 I thought.

Mine's a Powerball 'Neon' which is a genuine one but also has flashing blue LEDs inside it.

Hmmm, that sounds a bit chav actually with the blue LEDs...

Nope, by that logic I should be well over 16k rpm by now.

Yeah we were all watching that in the office the other day, the phrase 'vinegar strokes' was mentioned by a few people.
