The NSD Power 250 Hz Pro Powerball is a tennis ball-sized gyroscope that harnesses centrifugal force to build resistance in the muscles. This system guarantees intense training of the hands, wrists and forearms, perfect for sports and activities requiring a strong grip. Powerball is suitable for all ages.
DESCRIPTION
Powerballs (or gyroscopic wrist exercisers) are nothing new. Indeed, a decade ago, these products already existed on the market. But most people probably only learned about the product recently due to the development of combat sports and specific training.
The handheld gyroscope market has long been considered a market of "Niche", when it was not simply called futile. There are two main companies that offer them. The first is NSD, a Taiwan-based company which manufactures the units which are then sold by various distributors around the world under different names (like NSD Spinner, NSD Power, Powerball, etc.). Overall all products marked "NSD" are made on the same basis and are therefore very similar. Its main competitor, Dynaflex, has made a name for itself in the United States where you can sometimes find their products on sports store shelves (sometimes as "DFX").
We won't hide from you that when we read the articles on Powerballs and their promises: rehabilitation, muscle and joint strengthening of the hands, wrists and forearms, we were a little skeptical. See really skeptical. But since this product has been back at the top of the bill for some time, we wanted to test it. So we got the 250 Hz Powerball from NSD and here is the result.
What is a Powerball?
Basically a Powerball is a small plastic ball (about the size of a tennis ball) that contains a weighted rotor inside. Playful in appearance, this product is no less effective. The rotor that spins in two axes (using the movement of your wrist and arm) can reach speeds of up to 10 rpm. The speed of rotation of the rotor of this small ball which weighs less than 300 grams can generate a pressure of up to 20 kg. This centrifugal force thus created helps to strengthen the muscles and joints of the hands, wrists and forearms. A wide variety of Powerballs are currently available for sale, ranging from very simple no-frills models to models that light up depending on the speed of rotation (the faster you spin the brighter it becomes), or models with digital counters (indicates the speed of rotation), metal models (heavier or faster), as well as combinations of these different systems and a few other variants. But the most important criterion to consider this is the frequency of the Powerball, knowing that the higher the rotation frequency, the more intense the exercise will be.
And if you are wondering which one to take, know that there are over 16 models in the range, there is a Powerball to suit your every need. Prices range from € 20 up to € 120 or more for the more expensive metal version.
We can say that the Powerball 250 Hz Pro is efficient. The result is felt very quickly in the forearms, hands and wrists. Even after a few seconds of use. And the more it spins, the more you feel the effects ... Whether you practice gripping sports, tennis, motorcycling or mountain biking, play the piano or the drums, the NSD powerball will generate so much power in your fingers, wrists. , arms and shoulders that you will notice an improvement in your usual practices or leisure activities. The speedometer (for measuring rpm) attached to the top of the Powerball allows you to maintain an intense training session and despite an impractical mini screen, it remains useful.
The 250 Hz is the kind of Powerball that you can use regularly because it allows you to have a low impact workout. It is even recommended by some doctors during rehabilitation. Be careful, however, if you wish to use it for medical purposes (rehabilitation, treatment of tendonitis, etc.), this device, even if it has been shown to be effective, is not recommended. in all of these cases. Consult a doctor or physiotherapist before using it for therapeutic purposes. Finally, if you like challenges, the American company that markets the product is running a contest on their Facebook page to see who will run the Powerball as fast as possible.
Sold at a price of around € 25 , it is undoubtedly a good tool that provides targeted and intense training.
