Manufacturer's Description
Powerball Autostart -- No Strings Attached
Introducing the new Powerball Autostart, the pull-back-and-start version of the mighty 250Hz Powerball. Gone is the requirement to wind a pull-string around the central gyro, you just pull back along a hard surface, and power straight into your Powerball run.
The new Powerball Autostart is the latest 250Hz model from Powerball.
New Method, Same Quality
Offering the same superlative build quality as the other Powerballs in the range the 250Hz Autostart has the added advantage of being truly portable and can be easily operated by anybody – beginners wont need practice to perfect their start, and seasoned Powerballers won’t have to break their stride between runs.
Play and Compete
With the Powerball Autostart there’s no need for lengthy waits between powerball sessions; the new version allows competitions to step up a notch, letting you power into your next session without pausing to reload your Powerball.
The redesigned gyro in the Powerball Autostart means it can be started quickly from any hard surface. No pull-strings are required.
Exercise and Rehabilitate
The Powerball may be used as an entertaining toy, but at its core is a serious fitness that creates incredible forces to strengthen the forearms, wrists and fingers. This makes a favourite for racket-sports players, martial artists, guitar players and anyone looking to improve the power and precision of their technique.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an incredible bit of kit. I bought it for my wife as a rehabilitation aid and she is delighted with it. The autostart feature is excellent though it still needs a bit of practice to keep it going. This device is a lot more than a toy - I cannot believe how much it makes your muscles ache if you rev it up.

this powerball is a lot easier to start than the other powerballs that need the string to start, you wind the inner ball with your thumbs to tighten and release when you start twirling the powerball with wrist, i bought to aid better blood circulation and exercise the arms and wrist because my arms were feeling numb with some dull ache in the fingers, it apparently helps carpal tunnel syndrome, rsi releives the symptons heres hoping.

A colleague had a similar ball bought for him as a Secret Santa gift and it seemed tremendous fun. I searched and found this ball believing that no string is a good thing. I was right. Not having to rely on string to start the gizmo is very handy.
Your first attempt feels foolish (particularly when you try it in the "wrong" hand for the first time) but it is wonderful to see how quickly your hands and ears get use to the device. I mention ears because you will soon learn how well you are doing by the noises and pitch of the device. My son wanted a go which has led to us have competitions over the last couple of days because it is so addictive. You will be surprised at a) how much you sweat and b) how your arm can ache afterwards.
The packaging is very nice although a small printed manual would have been very handy, hence the fifth star being absent. There is a small CD supplied with it and there is plenty of help on the web although it seems odd to need a computer to find out how to use it. Having said that though you won't be disappointed when you've had a go. it is tremendous fun.

Not what I expected
When my son purchased this item, it seemed like a powerful exercise tool. But when we received it we saw that it was not user friendly and not powerful at all. Read more

Autostart power ball
I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Great for strengthening your forearms and wrists. No fiddly strings to worry about, just wind it back and away it goes.
