Default Powerball
Hi there guys.
Since I spend a lot of time in a lab and use my hands a lot images/smilies/shifty.gif, I am thinking about buying a powerball.
Anyone has it? Is it good? Any input will be greatly appreciated!

I'm confused, here Powerball is a lottery. It's seems it'd be quite expensive to buy a lottery for your hands and buying a ticket probably wouldn't help your hands unless you won so I assume that's not what you mean. images/smilies/lol.gif

Good fun, I wore mine out, but I'm sceptical about the benifits.

Never had one because I have better things to spend £20 on. Dunno if it's any good as an alternative to swinging a cat...

I have/had (can't find it atm..) one. It's a fun thing but like others said I'm not sure if it really helps with anything. Might even strain things.

Also if you get one, you'll be wide open for several masturbation jokes :p

Mwa, it's kind of neat. For 15 usd i'd get one again. It feels very unusual once you get it spinning, very hard to explain.

I know a couple of people who bought one, no one of them used it for more than a couple of weeks. I'm glad I never came to buy one myself.
