I used to have stiffness in my wrist and they would constantly pop.I did hand stretches and eventually stumbled across Gyroballs.I find myself using the product at least twice a day and have never felt better.It’s easy to use and keep spinning once you’ve got it started.I suggest looking up a video on how to use it because written instructions could be unclear.I like that this lights up and shows the count.The grip around the sides is also very helpful and conveniently placed.

I got one of these when the first came out over a decade ago when you needed to start it with a string. I got the steel one which is well made and heavy. The assisted start mechanism works easily. Because of the weight of this upgraded version, the force is greater than the standard plastic one. The only thing is the digital readout is a great feature, but because of the force, you can only get the reading after it slows down and you scroll through. Definately good to build grip and wrist strength and endurance.

This ball is amazing! You can see the RPMs, how many cycles it's gone total, and challenge your friends to try to beat you in speed or time spent playing with it. I recommend this for anybody who wants to strengthen forearms or shoulders, or just have fun playing with it.

I love the feel and heft of this item. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because it broke after about a month of use.Let me be clear though, it still functions perfectly but you can no longer wind it up to get it started. So it now has to be manually started. I've been using these for years so I'm very well adept at starting them with one hand by using my thumb. But others with less experience may just give up.

This does not work as intended. Am familiar with the name brand- while this one is a knock off, it appears to be assembled as expected. The "spin" will wind up, but does not maintain motion. It is as effective as a rock- which works as a wrist exerciser as well, but this is just trash.

This thing is a blast! I just got it today and I have already worn a blister on one finger playing with it.I have never tried one of these before. I didn't realize that you could put energy back into a gyro through forced precession. I thought you just wound it up and it created resistance. I was shocked when I rotated it against the resistance and it started accelerating. I can get it to light up the room with my right hand. Less stellar results left handed. The funny part is that when I am running it left handed my right hand keeps going through similar motion. I have to concentrate to relax the right hand, and keep the proper motion and rhythm with the left hand. I look at this as more of a coordination trainer. Also good for training hand tempo. Handy if you enjoy thumping on a djembe or tumbadora.

I've used the NSD powerballs since aroud 2001, so have over 20 years of experience with them and consider them the gold standard.I bought this hesitantly since I broke my NSD and didn't want to drop the cash one of NSD's nicer models. This is a little larger which is great as it gives you more of the fat grip effect. The other thing I noticed is that it's much easier to get a pump with this. Not just because of the larger size, but it generates more force at a lower RPM. I'm pretty impressed. I don't know if that's just a function of a larger diameter or if the metal plays a part in that. Either way this has exceeded my expectations. If it proves to be as durable as the NSD I would say this is a better ball than the standard blue NSD powerball. I'd love to use it side by side with NSD's higher end balls that cost a fortune for comparisson.
