Which is the fastest Powerball

Detailed Explanation: We are regularly asked about the top speeds that each Powerball model is capable of achieving and whether one Powerball within the range is faster than the other.

In simplified terms, it would be truthful to say that the 250Hz products remain king when it comes to pure outright speed � there is nothing faster available on the market at present, for any money!

These superlative gyros are totally unencumbered by the onboard induction dynamos which are inbuilt on the rotors of the Neon and Techno ranges and are therefore able to offer a faster spin to those seeking all out speed from their shiny spheres.

Looking at it objectively however, it should also be pointed out that the rotors on both the Techno and Neon ranges have been balanced to the same ultra fine degree as the 250Hz range and, in theory, should be capable of reaching the same dizzying heights in terms of pure outright speed.

However, in practice, we generally find that the top speeds of these two models will be in or around 2-4% less [than the 250hz] as a result of the induction mechanism on their rotors.

Not that this makes a huge difference of course; Neon Blue will still hit the mid 15k mark in the right hands � it is only above this stratospheric level that the difference between it and the 250Hz Pro will become apparent�(and thus far, there has only been one man on the planet who could have been privy to such minute variances!)

Techno is a further 2-3% slower [than the Neon] as a result of a slightly different internal design on its rotor and can be quite difficult to take over 15k (it will exceed this level of course, but again, only in the right hands).

The Metal 350Hz; at time of writing, we are offering this product with the high density (heavy) rotor as standard.

This rotor is almost twice as heavy as the lightweight rotor from which the model range takes its name and so puts down a formidable challenge to those looking for outright speed from the metal range at present. This Powerball generates a monstrous gyroscopic inertia when the rotor is spinning and is extremely difficult to push past 12,000rpm let alone the loftier heights of 13, 14 or 15,000rpm.

Once again, at time of writing, the highest recorded score we have witnessed is just under 14,000rpm from Akis Krisinelis, our Greek World Record Holder, leaving it well short of the current 250Hz speed record. However, it should be stated that the gyroscopic inertia being inflicted upon the arm and wrist by the 350Hz at 12k is substantially higher than that being generated by the 250Hz at 14k so this is all relative to what you are considering purchasing the ball for.

Once the lightweight rotor debuts for the 350Hz Metal range, we confidently expect to see Akis somewhere North of 20,000rpm � stay tuned!

Summing up; 250Hz is the fastest, followed by the Neon models in second place and Techno in third. At present, the Metal is more about inertia than speed, but you can expect it to slaughter all speed records once the lightweight rotor appears.
