This season I'm taking a new approach by exercising my forearms, hands, and wrists during the winter off season using a DFX Sports Power Ball Pro Plus W/ Power Starter. This is a ball about the size of a tennis ball that houses a gyro spinning at 15,000 rpm with 35 lbs of torque. Using the power starter or the starting string to get the gyro in motion, you rotate your wrist to keep it spinning or to increase speed. The faster you make the gyro spin the more it makes the Power Ball feel like it is trying to escape from your grasp. Fighting the balls gyro gives you an extreme workout in about 60 seconds in your forearm, wrist, and hand. After a few weeks of using the ball three times each day I can rotate the Power Ball longer, but the work out is still intense. This leads me to believe I'm gaining strength which, in theory, should improve arm pump issues.
At first glance I was skeptical on how the Power Ball would perform, and if it would be more effective than the old fashion spring type forearm exerciser, but after about 1 minute of using the ball you can feel the amount of workout your getting. As for curing arm pump the first ride of the season was arm pump free. Which means I will continue using the Power Ball to keep the whole season the same.
