Science Musuem Strength Ball

Science Musuem Strength Ball Review

and rather than the other two reviews I couldn't disagree more. I've got one of these and it's a great bit of kit. I can only imagine that they bashed the counter around to break it. It's only an LCD screen. I've used this for a week now and I haven't found anything that's as good for focused exercise of the grip, wrist and forearm. Well there is the powerball, but it's the same thing, just more expensive!

I was recommended this by a friend that is a golfer and squash player and would recommend it to anyone how needs to improve grip or forearm strength. For therapy or a real workout, at this price I can't see you being disappointed. Just take care of the digital counter.

Science Musuem Strength Ball Overview

Beware: a limp handshake is the first sign of weakness. And one your enemies may use to your disadvantage. The key to protecting yourself from such situations is this: the Strength Ball. Within the Strength Ball is a gyroscope - a rotating wheel that appears to defy gravity once it spins. To set it spinning, pull the red cord. Your challenge: rotate the Strength Ball in your hand as fast as you can, using the in-built LCD digital display to see how many rotations you can do per minute. The record is 12,000 revolutions. The Strength Ball increases your muscle condition in your hands, wrists and arms. Regular use can lead to greater grab strength as well as improved circulation.

Satisfied - Kenneth Boyle - UK
I use the strength ball and found no faults, lost interest in it quite easily but still use it from time to time...would say a little over priced but overall a good product



Meh... - Andrew Mackenzie - Scotland
I'm on my second Strength Ball. The first one was broken by my little brother; I don't know how he did it but but I came home one day to find the thing snapped in half. And the one I have now has a broken LCD screen even though I have no idea what I did to it and there are no visible signs of damage.
The Strength Ball is not as durable as, not as good looking as, of a poorer quality than and cannot go anywhere near as fast as a Powerball. The only reason I never got a Powerball instead was because I was too young at the time to purchase online.



Great fun, but ultimately ripped off from superior Power Ball - A. D. K. Miller - London
I had no idea what a Strength Ball was until someone gave it to me as a present and as soon as I started playing with it I was hooked. To put it simply it is a ball within a ball. The whole thing is about the size of a tennis ball. You start the interior ball rolling with a piece of string and thereafter the aim is to keep it rolling by holding the Strength Ball and moving your wrist around. Sound boring? Then give it a go and see what you think. I think you'll find it strangely addictive. Not everyone picks it up as easily as me but then I am a natural at most things ;-) I really wish I could end the review there, but unfortunately the digital display broke after one day of ownership which is obviously not good enough. So I agree with the other reviewers. It's a superb toy, good exercise and very addictive BUT it is very poorly made. Go for the superior Power Ball instead.
