I got 18300 on my Powerball

Fault: The counter can sometimes generate an inaccurate or corrupt score ranging from 15,000 to 18,000rpm

Solution: Reset the counter unit (unlikely to be a new World record, Sorry!)

Detailed Explanation: The Accura digital display supplied with your Powerball is an extremely precise counter which will register the rotor speed accurately throughout the spin range up to an astonishing 19,999rpm.

As with all logic based devices however, it may, on a very rare occasion, suffer a corruption in terms of the manner in which the data received is interpreted or processed. Unless the counter is genuinely faulty, such a corruption may only occur once in every 1000 spins (if at all).

Should, however, you find yourself victim of such an instance, you may be pleasantly surprised to note on your counter display, a score reading of, for example, 18351rpm or 17623 or, in fact, any score within a range of 15360 right up to 18998rpm.

I would particularly highlight the score of 15360rpm as it is indeed the most popular one we have seen resulting from this form of data corruption and has been the cause for many a potential vapor lock or coronary failure around the globe as the excited recipient contemplated the massive achievement displayed before them�(before being instantly deflated by reading this FAQ! )

So, in the event that you see a score that is above 15,000rpm on your Powerball, have a quick click here and take a listen to what a Powerball should sound like at 15,000rpm+ and then contemplate your next course of action;

  1. Take a snap if the score immediately. You will need to use a camera that can provide us with an image that will be at least 600 x 600 pixels in size.
  2. If the score is going to eventually find itself in one of the Top 10 slots on the Top 100 scoreboard then we will need you to also provide us with a video clip of you achieving a score at least 98% or higher of the value of the one you are presenting to us for approval. (For example�if the score in your image was 15000rpm�then we would need you to capture a short video clip where the counter has been zeroed and the ball spun up to a minimum 14700rpm and where the counter display is clearly visible with that score.)
  3. On receipt of these two items, we will then begin analysis of the score submission and contact you in due course.

Good luck!
