Find Out What The Powerball Can Do For You

Powerball - The New Exercise Revolution Is Here.

Exercise... Play... Compete
Explosive, dynamic, exciting...addictive!

The Powerball is a revolutionary new Gyroscope which literally explodes with mind numbing inertial forces once you activate its internal rotor! The new Powerball has so many functions, benefits and uses that purchasing one could almost be considered a lifestyle decision! The compact little spheres have already defined themselves worldwide as superlative fitness instruments, definitive sports products and gentle, non impact rehabilitation tools all housed within a [product] that's so addictive and pleasurable to use it borders on being sinful..!

HOW IT WORKS

Definition: The Powerball is a finely engineered and precision crafted gyro consisting of a rapidly spinning rotor enclosed in a solid [hand held] outer sphere. You set this rotor in motion using a cord or your finger and build its speed by subtle rotation of the wrist. It contains no motor or no batteries. All of the energy which we describe below comes from you dear reader and the stronger you are, the faster you will be able to make your Powerball spin!

BENEFITS

Totally non-impact at low speeds and medically recommended, the Powerball is a masterful creator of soothing, theraputic resistance with which to rehabilitate RSI & Carpal Tunnel conditions or strengthen broken bones.
At higher speeds, the pulverising forces building from within its core are key to a powerful muscle building process in the forearms, triceps, biceps and shoulders, making it an ideal training product for all sports enthusiasts and body builders alike.
The fact that you'll go "wow!" the first time you put a live one into your hand and then find it impossible to put down again is merely the icing on a very sweet cake!

FOR FITNESS

Introducing the Powerball - a dynamic new fitness product that is set to absolutely revolutionise the way you exercise your wrists, arms, shoulders and chest!
Its only the size of a tennis ball, but set the internal rotor in motion and it will literally become like a tiny hurricane in your hand - exploding with mind numbing gyroscopic torque/inertia!
The ball comes alive with forces, furiously thrashing and jerking as your arm and wrist try to keep it in control, spinning it faster and faster until you have it up to almost 15,000rpm and it's exerting about 40lbs of pressure on your limbs at a speed of 250 revolutions per second - no batteries, just pure gyroscopic power - the fastest human propelled device ever created!
The Powerball has hit the fitness market with a fury and we guarantee that it's here to give you a full arm workout quite unlike any other you'll ever have experienced regardless of current fitness levels.
Its secret lies in the way it isometrically tests the muscle groups in the arms and shoulders - you can have the ability to curl the heaviest of dumbbell's down in the gym but take your Powerball up to 13,000rpm for just 30-40 seconds and we absolutely guarantee a muscle burn of monumental proportions.

Dense muscle growth - or pure toning?
1. At low speeds it will effectively tone and shape the arms and shoulders yet without leading to unwanted muscle growth in these areas. Excellent results can be achieved from using it at between 6000-8000rpm for around 7 minutes each day.
2. Spin it up above 12,000rpm however and it takes on a whole new character - the resistance climbs in proportion to the speed of the internal rotor and at 15,000rpm the pocket sized Powerball is spitting out up to 40lbs of gut wrenching torque (inertia) and will give a serious hammering to even the most powerfully developed arm.
3. The internal rotor of your new Powerball has been so perfectly balanced that even at the highest speeds there is absolutely zero vibration - all you will feel are those powerful gyroscopic forces acting upon your hand, wrist, arm and shoulder once you put the rotor into motion.
And there is no motor in there - speed is generated simply by the subtle movement of the wrist and arm muscles which is what makes it such an extraordinary toning or muscle building tool!

WHICH POWERBALL IS FOR ME?

250Hz Power®Ball - Speed demon
The 250Hz range has been certified to 15,000rpm but will clock well in excess of 16k in the right hands these days, such is the precision of balance on that 250Hz rotor.
250Hz balls are available with an inbuilt digital speed meter (termed: 250Hz Pro) or without (termed: 250Hz Classic) - the counter can be added at a later stage if required.

NEON Power®Ball
Loaded with a high performance 250Hz rotor, Neon models have an added feature of 6 inbuilt ultrabrite LEDs which glow brightly once the Power®Ball is spinning.
There are no batteries required (other than those for the counter) - that surreal glow which englufs your hand during use is generated by a small induction coil also present on the rotor - the faster you spin, the brighter it glows!
All Neon balls are available with an inbuilt digital counter (termed: Neon Pro) or without (termed: Neon Classic) - as with the 250Hz models, a counter can be added to all Neon Classics at a later stage if required.
Best of all, the Neons are ultra desirable - just take a look at that delicious image of the Neon Green Pro in action! In fact, with a single glance, you'll be hooked.. who wouldn't want one..

SIGNATURE Power®Ball - Limited edition

The same high performance and fun of the Neon models, presented in an exclusive smokey shell with black rotor and ultrabrite white LEDs - a devastating combination that really turns heads!
Signature is supplied with an inbuilt digital counter, wrist cord and a mini DVD featuring various Akis world records, exercises and other footage.

TECHNO Power®Ball
This innovative gyroscope scrolls your acheived score magically across the surface of the rotor (as opposed to displaying it instantly on a digital speed meter as with other models in the range).
The rotor also displays an entrancing collection of 'firelines' as it spins, ranging from red to blue in colour and generating a truly amazing effect depending on the speed at which it is revolving
The Techno does not make use of a standard counter - the score achieved scrolls as shown in the video to the left. If the video does not load automatically, please click to start playing.
There are no batteries required for any aspect of this product - everything is operated by induction, including the counter feature.

Metal 350Hz Power®Ball
At almost twice the weight of the Neon or 250Hz models, the 350Hz Metal exerts an extraordinary force on the arm and wrist and will test even the fittest player.
(Imagine getting the head of a sledgehammer and spinning it in your hand at a modest 5000rpm... you'll quickly get the idea of what we are talking about here!)
Flawlessly finished in a magnificent mirror-chrome, this remarkable gyroscope is one of the world's most perfectly engineeered products.
(And when we say 'flawless chrome' finish...we mean flawless!)
The 350Hz Metal Power®ball has a silent running but very high density metal composite rotor (such is its mass, even Akis has struggled to exceed 13k)

So what are you waiting for........go and buy one now!!

The Double Standard In American Sports

It is the dream of almost every child in this great nation. It is the dream of seeing one's name in bright lights. It is the dream of being on center stage with the whole world watching, in awe of your magnificent talent. It is the dream of being on top of one's profession and enjoying wealth and prosperity beyond their wildest imagination.

For many African Americans, athletic competition is a means of escape from the grim desperation of reality. Many young Black children who lace up those sneakers or cleats see athletic competition as a platform to a better life for themselves and their family. With millions of dollars and financial stability in the palm of their hands, many athletes of all ethnic backgrounds have bypassed college and amateur sports for the riches and fame that come with their instant celebrity status.

Athletes that run the gamut from the National Basketball Association's LeBron James, to the National Hockey League's Sidney Crosby and golf's Michelle Wie have all foregone higher education to pursue their goals on the highest plateau of their respective professions.

While Wie and Crosby were lauded for their decision, African American athletes like LeBron James and Dwight Howard were dissuaded from making the jump from the preps to the pros.

Criticism of teenage athletes encouraged the NBA to enact an age minimum that would bar any more athletes from making that jump for the foreseeable future. This action makes one wonder if there is a double standard when it comes to young African Americans earning millions of dollars to perform on center stage as opposed to non-Blacks.

At the onset of the 20th century, society labeled African Americans as inferior to their White counterparts in every avenue of the human experience. From athletics to academics, Whites were viewed by themselves as being innately superior to anyone with a darker complexion. The weakest White could defeat the strongest Black in any form of competition that he so desired.

This belief of racial superiority/inferiority was so engrained into the American psyche that a color barrier was erected in most sports. However, athletes such as Jack Johnson, Fritz Pollard and Jackie Robinson excelled in their respective sports and became role models for many young African Americans aspiring to follow their example.

From the early 1900s to the present, African Americans have excelled to the point that they have become lucrative commodities, influencing not only athletics, but popular culture as well. From Michael Jordan to Venus and Serena Williams, Black athletes have turned professional sports into an American institution and a billion dollar business.

Despite the success of Black athletes and their influence in the world of endorsements and marketing, many of them endure ridicule for their success. It is as if the more successful and wealthy they have become, the more they are seen as the enemy.

The low point came during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece and the 2006 FIBA World Championships where Americans saw the predominately-Black men's basketball team as an opponent on their native soil. It was perplexing that at a time of war, in which America is regarded as an enemy to many nations, our own fellow citizens would root for their defeat, simply because of color.

When Bob Johnson purchased the Charlotte Bobcats, becoming the first Black majority owner of a sports franchise, many non-minorities were speaking of boycotting the NBA. It has become evident that Black success is very threatening to those who want to hold on to false hopes of a superior race.

Although I am against the new age minimum in the National Basketball Association, I understand its need. There are many more DeShawn Stevenson's and Korleone Young's than there are Kobe Bryant's and Kevin Garnett's in the world. However, the new NBA Development League, which will serve as a minor league farm system, is all that is necessary to keep unprepared teens out of the league until they are fully mature and ready to succeed on the highest level.

It is funny when high school baseball players make the jump from the preps to the pros it never causes a stir. Nevertheless, when the sport consists of predominately African Americans an uproar ensues.

Since 1947, when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball, African Americans have succeeded on the field, on the bench, and in the front office. However, in 2006 it seems as if the Black athlete is being punished for the same success they said we would never achieve.
