I got a cheap (25$) Dyna-Flex from the sporting good store. It does the job, but I find it quite loud. Not just the humming noise ( I guess that's hard to avoid), but also a chafing plastic rubbing on plastic sound. It's so loud that I really don't like to use it when watching movies because I don't understand a word. Hoping that is better with the Powerballs? I'm planning to upgrade to a NSD if I ever don't spend all my extra money on pole/yoga/dance classes 😉 I should really use it more often, esp. for my left hand…
-
I have seen that the cheaper the model the more noise it makes…not sure if that is true with the NSD. Dynaflex has new chrome models which are even smoother but they cost a lot more!

Oh, some great info here, I've been wondering what the difference is between some of them!!
On a funny note, if you skim through it looks almost like we're having a sexy toy conversation. LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif

omg! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Yeah, the comment about the humming noise is a bit deceiving huh? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Of course I took a whole piece of sushi in my mouth before that comment…..

I got one with the battery operated base. I suck at using it though. Sigh.

FYI – Here's a 20% coupon for NSDball.com: awful
Shipping is like $5, which is not bad consider there's a lifetime warranty on NSD. My total came out to be like $43 (Cheaper than Amazon!!)
I just bought a NSD Pro Fusion…can't wait till it arrive https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hmmm, NSD has a self starting one that dowsn't require a string or dock. That is cool! My local REI only has the dynaflex one (with dock that goes to 38lbs.) It's $48…
Still undecided…
-
I didn't think to check REI. Got mine at Big 5 for $20, and ended up having to order the docking station, since I can't get it spinning quick enough with the shoestring. LOL.
-
Hmmm, I'm liking the idea of the autostart one… Wouldn't need to purchase a docking station.
-
There should be a little hole in the inner ball that the end of the shoestring feeds into. I have never had issues getting mine spinning fast enough with the string. I ahve also played with getting it spinning just with the thumb flick. I cannot do it with one flick but I can get it spinning.
-
@ sensualscimitar – I had a toy that had similar mechanism as the self starting one which hair/dust tends to get stuck more often so I went with the normal one. (even with the lifetime warranty…I’d like to avoid using it if possible…lol)
I really hope the powerball can help me increase some wrist strength!!

I manged just a few minutes ago to get it started with the string. Yay! Think I have a new take with me anywhere toy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
