Keep it down!

The strangest thing happened to me about two weeks ago. My girlfriend had only just moved into my apartment and like all couples we were doing all the things that couples get up to in their apartment. You know, watching TV and cleaning etc. My mum bought me a Powerball for my birthday and we both enjoy playing with it. So a few days had passed and my girlfriend and I had grown even closer. ... full story

Telford UK Championship

I had planned to go up the night before the competition as it was a 3 hour drive from London and I wanted a good nights sleep before the competition. Getting up at 6am didn't seem too appealing too me. I'd agreed to pick up Francisco Fernandez (Pako) of Spain from Stansted airport on the Friday before the competition. Unfortunately his flight was delayed by 90minutes, but this did lead to an ho... full story

Powerball Vs Race for Life

This year, I will be running the Race for Life... but with a twist (or a spin?) - I'll be powerballing the whole way! The Race for Life is a 5k charity run in aid of Cancer Research UK. This year will be my first year partcipating and I'll be running at Bristol on 18th May 2008. Don't get me wrong... I'm no athlete. One enormous child (over 11 1/2lb at birth...), a dodgy back and a surgery or two ... full story

The Most Splendid Spheres on the Planet

My name is Duane Cash. When I first discovered the NSD Powerball in September 2006 while surfing the Internet, I knew that there was something special about these little splendid spheres. My first week with the powerful gyroscope assured me that I had indeed found something special, fun, and unique. On the first day with the NSD Powerball, my score was just 11964, but I was having a great deal ... full story

Powerballs Strike Again! [A Bowling Story]

I am only an average bowler. One night I wasn't throwing any strikes and decided to pull out my powerballs and mix in a light session into my bowling social. I spun up my neons to a comfortable RPM in my Left. The next four throws I managed 3 strikes and a spare, despite the weird expressions received from the confused on-lookers. My friends were amazed at the results of mixing powerballin... full story

A 24 hour marathon..

When I first started Powerballing, way back in August 2004, I immediately found it easier to spin the Powerball quite fast for long periods, rather than very fast in short bursts. (I was never a good sprinter at school, always favouring distance running, where I was one of the top 3 or 4 runners in my year.) Because of this natural ability for endurance, my 90-second Strength Scores have always ... full story
