Gyro Ball for Hand, Grip, & Forearm - Wrist Exerciser Strengthener - Gyroscope Ball to Regulate Tension, Arthritis & Carpal Tunnel - Gyroscopic Hand Exercise Balls

my first 30 mins i felt like this product was a dud and no matter what I couldn’t get this thing to start. But after the hour mark i was able to get it started and keep it going and it WORKS.I have had carpal before and this week I could feel it flaring up so I ordered this gyro ball because i heard it’s more effective than the self start up ones. I can’t comment on this as this is my only gyroball but the workout this gives is INTENSE.I found the best tip to keep the ball going is having a very fast start with the string. You should already be feeling the centripetal force just from the start. Then you start making smooth slow circles until the force picks up. My biggest mistake was making fast wobbly circles as if i was flailing it around trying to get the speed up desperately but it’s the opposite. When it gets fast enough, let the ball move your hand and you guide it with smooth slow circles. 10/10

👍👌👍

I've had one of these before, and I used it until the gyro shattered (no fault of the gyro, it was 20 years old, the plastic doesn't last forever). This one was squealed like a stuck pig as it spooled up, and was particularly hard to get started without the string. As it turns out, there was a bit too much friction between the nylon guide ring bushing and the shaft, and I couldn't put energy into it faster than it was bleeding off. A TINY bit of soft wax on the thick part of the shaft (NOT on the thin ends!) to reduce the spinning friction, and it starts beautifully with no more squealing.It's been a while since I've used one of these, and with this one working beautifully after the waxing, my arms are sore. I'm looking forward to regaining the walnut-crushing grip strength I had in years gone by.

Failed many times to get a decent spin going and after every fail had to annoyingly put the string in again to give another try. Looked up videos of people using a similar product (but not the same brand) to see if I was doing it wrong. Those videos made it look easy, so eventually I thought let me try another brand. Ended up trying a different Gyro Ball and it worked on the first try. I don't recommend this one. Also, this one made an annoying squeaky sound, so even if it worked it would have been annoying to use.

Not great… Seems so cheap…. Loud, kinda clunky action, flimsy little string…. Meh…. It does work though. Hopefully it will get smoother and quieter with more use.

Great product. Works just like the one my OT therapist had me try out. Only gave 4 stars for ease of use because it can be a little tricky to get it started with the string if you don't pull fast enough, but if you pull to fast you risk gauging into your skin with the string. Overall I think its a great product. The only other downside is the wrist strap that comes with it has no way to tighten so it just falls in the way. So far seems pretty durable.

The product works good for exercising your hands, wrists, fingers, & forearms. The first package got lost someplace, but customer service did their thing. Reordered my order and got to me fast ! Thank You people !!!!

String tips broke off after a few uses.
