    I didn't think to check REI. Got mine at Big 5 for $20, and ended up having to order the docking station, since I can't get it spinning quick enough with the shoestring. LOL.

    Hmmm, I'm liking the idea of the autostart one… Wouldn't need to purchase a docking station.

    There should be a little hole in the inner ball that the end of the shoestring feeds into.  I have never had issues getting mine spinning fast enough with the string.  I ahve also played with getting it spinning just with the thumb flick.  I cannot do it with one flick but I can get it spinning.

    @ sensualscimitar – I had a toy that had similar mechanism as the self starting one which hair/dust tends to get stuck more often so I went with the normal one. (even with the lifetime warranty…I’d like to avoid using it if possible…lol)

    I really hope the powerball can help me increase some wrist strength!!

    Whichever one you get you will be certain to see fantastic changes in your grip strength which will have a major impact on your pole work!

    I love using a powerball and caught onto how to get it spinning very easily but I've seen some of my students have a very difficult time getting it started. Although I've never been able to start it with the thumb flick.

    btw, should I bother with the speed meter on the NSD ball? I was looking at the basic model since it still gives a lot of toque and has a high RPM, but it's cheaper.

    I wouldn't bother with the speed meter. Mine has it but I don't use it, I can feel if I need to spin it faster or slower.

    This thing is addicting to use. I keep picking it up and using it.

    I ordered it with the quick starter, so hopefully it will be simple to start and use! 🙂 I'm excited…maybe I could play with it at work…

    Yeah, I'm sure if I turned it on and put it on the floor they'd be all over it.
