I see a 45lb one too. Hmmm…

and a 25lb one…

I need to get me one of those powerball things for my wrists and hands. Just like you, I don't know which one to purchase.
-
I covered it in an entry a while back…

It takes a little while to get the hang of it, but it's AWESOME.

I have the NSD Neon Pro Red and Green.
Everything you could possibly want to know about powerballs can be found on theri site:

This is the only brand that is worthwhile, IMO.

Chem…I forget…is the NSD made by Dynaflex? It looks identical except the logo on the band.
I have used the Dynaflex powerball for years and love it.
As for the strength…since they all begin at 0 RPMs and go up from there, you can start with any model…just how strong will you eventually need to increase to? In my opinion, just buy the strongest one so that you don't out grow it.

oh sorry…I forgot about the torque…all my students have gotten the 40 pounds when they bought from me and had no problems using it other than coordination.

This is what i had read when I was looking at them. it has a chart that kind of compares the two brands and the "levels"

Dynaflex and NSD are 2 different companies. They are both pretty much the same but NSD has a better warranty and also higher models than Dynaflex. (This may have changed since I first bought mine). I did a lot of research and it appeared like that NSD are built better. I think they are about the same price and I got mine pretty cheap on ebay. The big difference is that you can buy the Dynaflex at some sports stores whereas you cannot with the NSD.
-
Not certain about the price differences but Dynaflex now carries models that go up to 60pounds of torque. The 25 year warranty is important but the only problem I've had is getting the string stuck! That's a pain on either model.
-
To those who have bought a powerball, where did buy yours from?
-
You can get them on ebay and Amazon. Some sports stores tend to sell the lower grade/speed of the Dynaflex. I got mine directly from the company as I purchased wholesale.

I just ordered the NSD signature powerball from amazon. When I was looking at them they all looked quite similar, I think this one has 40lbs torque and a speed meter. Plus it lights up, that has nothing to do with how good it is I just thought it looks pretty.
If I ever feel like this one is too light I am getting the chrome version, it's got a lot more torque.
-
Thank you for all the info.
-
Thanks guys! I'll probably get the higher torque then.
