Am I too young to use this product?

Fault: None�unless you were born too late! ?

Solution: While Powerball is suitable for all age groups, we do recommend that players under the age of 15 years of age use it with caution, given the significant inertia developed by the product and the impact of this on developing bones. In addition, we also recommend that children under the age of 12 be supervised by an adult while using the product.

Detailed Explanation: We are often asked whether there are any age restrictions with regards to using Powerball (there is actually a reference to the recommended age guideline of 12 years upward on the product instruction sheet) and so this can be answered in more detail as follows:

It is recommended that Powerball should not be used by those under the age of 12 years without adult supervision (more as a general precaution rather than an actual insistence) to bring attention to the simple fact that these products can apply significant resistance (inertia) to specific areas of the wrist/arm which will not have been exercised in such a fashion previously (regardless of the workout pattern followed in the past, the unique manner in which Powerball operates ensures that it will promote development in areas previously untested by standard fixed weight resistance workouts).

Our cautious recommendation therefore takes into consideration the fact that the bodies of children up to the age of 15 are still in a strong growth phase and should avoid [vigorous] use of Powerball in order that it would not lead to [possible] damage of the arm/wrist areas before full development has been reached.

In truth of course, given that Powerball will only generate that resistance which is in direct proportion to the efforts expended by the user, it is unlikely that any such individual will cause himself/herself harm through the use of the product, but it's nevertheless better that we observe caution in our approach and that you be aware of the possibilities that may occur through overuse.

As always however, these are only our own personally recommended guidelines and you should make your own judgment call on whether you would wish for your child to use the product or not - like everything, when used in moderation, it will be an extremely beneficial tool for a budding young sportsman or woman and not cause any harm � indeed, we receive many gracious testimonials each week from parents who are delighted with the effect that the shiny sphere has had on their particular offspring�s sporting achievements.

The rules are therefore simple;

1. Never exceed your own abilities with the ball and
2. Slow speeds for gentle rehabilitation - high speeds for pure muscle building fun!?
