Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

I purchased this for repetitive stress from a lot of mouse work as a graphic designer. I had hoped to use this to and from work, and at work, but what I didn't expect was how loud it is. Definitely not something you can sneak in during a meeting, or on a quiet bus.

So, while it might be helpful (I don't use it as much as I probably should or want to), it's a bit too loud for public use.

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who is a pretty avid climber - I'm more of a recreational climber. We both use it to better our strength and coordination, and it is a fun, creative way to do so. It takes a while to get used to because it was sort of a foreign concept for me, but I really enjoy using it now. I feel as though it has improved the strength in my forearms, but I would recommend doing something more to strengthen your hands.

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

If I could change one thing about this product, it would be I wished it came to my attention earlier. I was suffering from wrist mobility problems for a few months since summer and I don't have the money to see a doctor about it. A fellow recommended me this product after seeing me at the gym having issues lifting weights. I took his advice and surprisingly, it helped out a LOT! My wrist feels better when i turn it and now I can grip heavy objects easily. I love it and I will post again when it fully heals which hopefully will be soon!

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

I received this as a present from my wife because she heard it worked great from her other friends. I must say I love it a lot, it helped with my wrist problems and tennis elbow pain by reducing the recovery time by a whole lot. Before I had this I'd be out for 2 weeks before I can get back to climbing.

A little pricey

Best Uses

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

This thing is great. As a drummer and bassist, my fingers and wrist get a hardcore workout nearly everyday. This is a great warm up/cool down tool. It also gives you sexy forearms after using it for a while. Also a great conversation starter with cute girls when I use the DynaFlex at the dog park.

Strengthening handswrist

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

I've been using Dynaflex brand powerballs for almost four years now and I love them. They're a great workout, they're fun, and you can take them pretty much anywhere. They're a great way to pass the time while stuck in traffic or on a long drive. They wear down over time from dirt getting inside them but that's to be expected from gyro.

These are great for rehabbing hands/wrists/forearms or simply for working out. I highly recommend getting one of these to pretty much anyone, building hand strength/endurance comes in handy in pretty much any sport.

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

I love this product and am a true believer in their effectiveness. I have the basic Pro that doesnt light up and the blue light up Powerball. Both are awesome.

Now I can condition and strengthen my grip and forearms right at home sitting watching TV or at the computer. It doesnt take a whole lot to really feel it working in your forearms when you first start out. I show this product to anybody with wrist or hand issues too.

I heard they have some sort of metal or iron ones now too. I may have to step up to those soon!

Not only for climbers

By amgeorg

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

Our chiropractor suggested this product to my son, who is a violinist and was starting to develop wrist problems. Playing the violin, you develop the lower arm muscles in an unbalanced way. The Dyna-flex ball restores the balance. Just a few minutes a day for a few days made my son's wrist pain disappear. After that experience, I gave another ball to my other son, who is a computer scientist and was developing carpal tunnel from too much typing. He also had an immediate benefit and soon didn't have to use wrist braces anymore. After that, I gave gyro balls to many friends and relatives (including a drummer) who had carpal tunnel in the early stages. All had immediate benefits. This ball is not only for climbers!!! (and I should get a discount for buying so many of them!)

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

I am not a climber (I've always struggled doing just one pull-up) but I really enjoy using the Dyno-Flex. It really helps build muscle strength in your entire hand and lower arm - you can even feel it working on your upper arms and shoulder if you hold your arms out straight or above your head. Once you get it up to a high speed the sensation is very intense and exciting as you try to to maintain the gyroscopic forces. Everyone is correct that it does take a bit of practice to learn how to start and maintain the gyroscope. I never had much luck with the string. One thing you can do is roll it quickly on a smooth clean surface and then quickly hold your arm out and start rotating your wrist in a controlled steady manor, don't fight against the Dyno-Flex, rather let it guide your wrist around, keeping a steady rotation. If you keep this up it will pick up a lot of speed. As you get to higher and higher speeds your wrist will be moving in a much smaller circle as you try to contain the powerful gyroscopic forces.

The more you do it the easier it becomes to start it and control its speed. Also, as it strengthens your hand muscles you will eventually be able to start it with a few swipes from your thumb and no longer need the string or a clean flat surface. And you will have an awesome handshake!

Comments about Dynaflex Lighted Gyro Power Ball:

This is the most addictive and fun little toy that Ive had really. And it truly works wonders for hands, forearms and shoulders. I have noticed that my grip has improved quite a bit. I can tell that it has gotten better also because I have been able to use the device longer and longer without tiring. There is a speed meter you can get as well that shows your speed in RPMs that you achieve. my high score is 12,400RPMS!
