Everyone at WW wanted to know how I ride all day on FBs with handles without a strop and harness. Here is the secret , 30 min . a day does wonders. I got one with a digital meter that keeps up w/ top rpm , current rpm , 90 second burst,and several other things. I love mine, it's very addicting. :wee: here is their website

BTW , my personal record is 10,010 rpms.

I remember seeing those things at Hermans sporting goods back in the '80's.., get that forearm burn... :bigok:

30 min per hand or total...? you must really have "the FIST of FURY!!!" when taking matters to hand.... :evil::evil: (forgive me)

you know i almost bought one of these after i clicked on the link. Im going to check and see if any stores have them before i buy online.

never tried them, but i have flown blades for a long time --killer forearm workouts!! i used to just throw 495 lbs on the bar at home and at waist height, pick it up a couple inches and hold till i couldnt anymore--do that 3 times , two different grips, then take 90 lbs off the bar and go again...... i havent done them for a while because my upper back was giving me problems...... one thing for sure, you fly the big boys and you will get in shape--fast!

Ive got the signiture edition w/ white LEDs in it that get very bright as you spin it up. uses no batteries except for the watch battery in the counter. I have had mine for about 4 yrs now. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 350Hz model.

Donnie, I'm not discounting the fact that you work with your hands every day either. You're constantly holding, carrying, picking up heavy things. Not to mention the actual welding. This thing might add to that though.

I like to feel like I got a good workout from a day flying myself. I draw the line at the 8.6 Reactor II. Anything below that I fly mostly by hand.

wow Going to order the 250hz pro duo pack for the wife and I. Just looks like a blast and would add to our workouts from our new years resolutions. Believe it or not when I go for a three hour or better session with any of my depowers, even just gripping the bar all day will set off a mild case of tendinitis. This will help with that. Thanks for posting. :bigok:

You won't be disappointed. With 2 of ,you can get 1 in ea. hand and get an awesome arm/upper torso/ shoulder workout.

im ordering the 350hz metal badboy:D

the heavy or the lite?

Heavy, the $120 one. I was also thinking of just getting a 250hz neon or the Sig series. only 45 bucks

The LEDs are sweet . And the Tecno uses led technology to show your speed. They are stronger than you think,I'll tell ya that much.Wear the wriststrap ,cause they try to get away from ya at high speed.And they don't like to be dropped.Try to get a little bag or buy the case for it, to keep it clean(very important).Back when I got my Sig series they had a little leather jacket w/ a zipper for a case. That is what mine is stored in . They really pump up your arms,you will discover muscles you didn't even know you had!:D

they look cool--i might get one.....

Believe it was called the DynaBall back then... and there was still a Hermans at the Garden State Plaza.

ATB,
Sam

dynaball is NSDs competitor

The video add even says it helps with kite flying.

:embarrased: with nosey neighbours I think it will be best for me to close the curtains if I'm gonna do this sitting on the couch watching t.v. .... probably looks funny from behind and at a distance of 10ft.

i just ordered the 250hz Pro. Ill get the 350hz when they finish designing the new lighter core

Todd, where are ya dude? You and Coreman have had the "secret " for few days now, let's see that high score dudes. Have ya figured out how to get it going good yet? Your killin me

H A I thought they already had the Metal pro light, it's $189.00

Got mine today...can barely hold onto the thing....damn....8169rpm

make that 8767

it's addicting



they get stronger the faster you go

no joke. 9667. I am find that small movement sometimes works better.

you're right . I don't do it like the guy in the video. very small circles .then try to make them smaller and smaller. But it gets harder and harder to hold onto. I have used mine for 4 yrs. I'm here to tell ya it works.

ncix.com 24$ for the techno !

Matt

great price dude

$189!, thats the price of a whole bunch of kite gear ill stick with my pro for a while

Todd! Quit trying to figure out how to ramp up your speed with the car tire on the expressway. They make a power starter if you're havin difficulty. I figured the way you work VEGAS PRO ,this would be a piece of cake. You have been way too quiet on this subject,me thinks you are up to somethin.......

We finally got to messing around with this thing and WoW does this give you a workout. I'll have to shoot a short video of Corey working this thing... I had tears of laughter running down my face last night. I can see this as a great tool to strengthen my grip as well on the depower bar. Thanks for the new addiction Donnie!
