I got mine yesterday and I'm addicted to it. I have been using it loads so now my arm aches lol

My High Score is 10,787:cool:

It's not that high, but my excuse is I've only just got it ;)

So does and one else have one and if so what's your high score?

A friend of mine has one of these. I'm really poor at it but you just have to pick it up and have another go, then use your other hand because the one you've just used is killing from the previous attempt.

I don't think I ever got over 10,000 but I think the guys at work got a similar score to you. It's so funny watching peoples' faces when they they do this, especially when they try to give it a bit more effort as a final push.

you make it spin faster with wrist action. My brother-in-law has one and he rules at it.

I've been wanting a powerball for a couple of years now, but have only seen it in one local store. I'll put it on my wishlist for Christmas. The only problem is that there are so many variants of it, and I'm the type that usually goes for the best straight away, but with the metallic powerball priced high, I won't this time. I guess an official, plastic powerball with display will suffice. :)

I got a blue neon one, like the picture I posted above.

However I'd get any of them as they're all pretty similar but like you said the metallic powerball is priced a lot higher. So I recommend one of the plastic ones.
