Powerball 280Hz Classic
Strengthening & Rehabilitation - From Fingertip to Shoulder
Smooth, fast and powerful: Powerball 280Hz Classic can produce up to 16kg of resistance and is a powerful arm exercise machine that will effectively strengthen and rehabilitate the entire arm, from fingertip to shoulder.
Spin slow for gentle rehabilitation of injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and broken bones, or spin fast for an intense strengthening workout: the benfits of Powerball exercise are tenfold.
- Cord Activated
- Spin speeds of over 18,000rpm
- Battery free
- Military-grade polycarbonate shell
- For rehabilitation & strengthening


Build Strength from Fingertip to Shoulder
Exercise with Powerball is purely isometric so it will complement any training regime. Powerball exercises the arm in a way that simply isn't possible with regular isotonic (free-weight) exercise training and it engages a much higher percentage of muscle fibres in a far shorter time frame. If you are looking to improve wrist, grip and arm strength, Powerball will give you the edge.

A Miracle Worker for Pain
Our lifestyle choices today promote RSI (repetitive strain injuries) in the arms and wrists more than ever before. Gently spinning Powerball for 2-3 minutes during the day stimulates blood circulation, warms & loosens out tight muscle and reduces tendon inflammation, helping keep fingers, hands, wrists and arms mobile and pain-free.

Wind, Key, String or Drum
Whether playing a drum, piano, sax or guitar, a musician needs to have strength, co-ordination and dexterity in their fingers and hands. Powerball helps increase agility, speed, accuracy and endurance - if it can make music, Powerball will help you play it better.

Effective Injury Rehabilitation
Powerball's non-impact isometric resistance makes it a highly-effective tool for injury rehabilitation and prevention. Spin Powerball at slow speeds for as little as 3 minutes a day to experience instant pain relief and fast, effective treatment for injuries such as RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, muscle tears and broken or fractured bones.

Rehabilitation


Starting your cord-start Powerball - Step 1
- Holding the Powerball in your non-dominant hand, insert the plastic tip of the red cord into the small hole in the rotor.
- Winding the rotor forward using your thumb, guide the cord along the center grove of the rotor until approx. 3 cm of cord remains.

Starting your cord-start Powerball - Step 2
- Grip the Powerball firmly in your dominant hand, keeping the ball and cord facing down towards the floor.
- Grasp the cord firmly with the fingers of your free hand and give it a quick, sharp tug in a downwards direction. Always pull the cord straight down and never at an angle.

Starting your cord start Powerball - Step 3
- As the rotor accelerates, begin to rotate your wrist in a slow, smooth, stirring action and increase speed as desired.
- The faster you rotate your wrist, the faster the rotor spins and the more resistance Powerball generates.
From 1.0lb right up to 35lbs. Spin slowly for rehabilitation of RSI conditions / breaks, sprains & fractures; spin fast to build gold standard grip and forearm strength.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 23, 2018Verified PurchaseI gave this one a 5 star because it does work well. The only disappointment I found with it is, it can be a bit difficult to get it going. It is really the question of getting used to it.
I watched a number of videos about using the Powerball type devices, and this issue is apparent with everyone who is new to it. You have to get the starter pull string properly threaded and give it enough tug the get the gyro spinning. Then there is the important part about getting the proper feel for it to make it accelerate up to high speed. Once you get the hang of it, this is a terrific exercising device to strengthen the hands, fingers, forearms, and arms. There are some videos about how to work out with this type of Powerball device.
On some videos I saw some people were able to get it going without the pull string. They found a technique where they can strongly flick the gyro wheel with their thumb or forefinger fast and strong enough to get it going enough for them to be able to get it going.
This is a genius device and is a great invention. It uses gyro action on an X - Y axis allowing the user to be able to build up very fast speed of the wheel, and at the same time offer an offset resistance type torqued movement to allow for muscle strengthening. It is amazing.
I now ordered one with a built in winder for convenience. I also ordered some spare starting strings for this one, because knowing myself I may lose the strings. I am going to keep one in my office at work, and one at home.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 3, 2024Verified PurchaseI’ve been using the Powerball 280 Hz Classic Model to recover from a wrist injury I had three years ago, and it has truly been a game-changer. This little device helped me regain strength and flexibility in my wrist and hand, and I continue to use it regularly for maintenance and additional strength training.
What I Love:
• Great for Recovery: Spinning the Powerball at low speeds provides soothing relief for wrist pain and carpal tunnel symptoms. It’s gentle enough to help with rehabilitation but still effective at building strength.
Minor Drawbacks:
• Takes a Little Practice: It took me a few tries to get the hang of starting and maintaining the spin, but once you get it, it’s easy to use.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 15, 2023Verified PurchaseWorks on all the muscles on the hand and arm. Great machine as it requires no batteries and very little storage space
- Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 2024Verified PurchaseLove this. A little tricky to get it started. Which I had looked for one with auto start. But I watched the YouTube video and it shows how to get it going and it really works well on hands wrists and forearms to get them stronger
- Reviewed in Canada on July 22, 2018Verified PurchaseThe mechanics works exactly as advertised on the Powerball website. You actually have to watch their tutorial on how to start the spinning with a string but once you do, it's easy to start. Trying to maintain or increase the speed of the spin is done very intuitively by rotating your wrist but it tires my wrist out really fast because I'm trying to recover from wrist tendonitis and I still need to practice my technique. The isometric exercise feels intense and I can already feel my endurance improving. As for how much this specific exercise will reverse my tendonitis and improve my overall wrist strength, only time will tell.
Overall, I am very impressed by how ingenius this thing works to exercise your wrist and how fun it is to use. The device feels like it'll last a long time (as advertised) and I like that you can store the string in the ball when you're not using it. This has really given me hope that I can cure my debilitating condition, and sometimes hope is the key ingredient.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 1, 2023Verified PurchaseProduct works perfectly. It’s a great exercise tool to use for strengthening forearm and grip strength. I purchased it to use as a preventative exercise tool to exercise and strengthen my forearms. I use it a couple of times per week and it’s a fun way to add variety to my routine.
I’m glad I decided to upgrade to the digital readout model. I like being able to see a readout to provide information.

Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2023Verified PurchaseJ'adore la powerball, mais la mienne vient de briser. Plusieurs morceaux de plastique à l'intérieur sont brisés. Je l'utilise tous les jours, 3 minutes par jour depuis plus d'un an. Je ne crois pas que ce soit exagéré. La balle n'aurait pas dû brisé si rapidement. Elle n'a jamais été échappé.
Coté positif, ma force de préhension n'a pas cessée d'augmenter avec l'utilisation de cette balle. Je dépassais les 60kg de force dans la main lors de ma dernière vérification chez la physio.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best sports gadget ever?
Verified PurchaseBuy it! This ingenious device intensively targets the one muscle group that is almost impossible to train fully in any other way - the forearm. These muscles are responsible for grip strength and flexing of the wrist and we use them constantly. The device is very inexpensive and the benefits you will get from using it on a regular basis are enormous. An intensive workout on both arms only takes five minutes! Whether you are an athlete, musician, recovering from a hand injury or just doing regular everyday chores, this thing will make your life easier and more pain free. It’s very satisfying and enjoyable to use as well! This original brand is very durable and will last for many years. Well worth the money!
