Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's funny how so many of the reviews posted here are either 5-star "its so great! its so easy!", or 1-star "its a piece of worthless junk!". The reality is that, for most of us, its going to fall somewhere in between. I bought one of these a week ago from a local sports shop, thinking that I could bring it into my office or with me when I travel, and use it while I read over papers and reports. Any chance I can get to multi-task... After a week of use...
Pros: I can easily see how this would provide a decent forearm workout. When I use it for 4-5 minutes in one arm I can really feel those muscles have indeed been worked. Consequently, I would say that it works more or less as advertised, meaning that it does what it says it will do (strengthen your forearms, hands, wrists, fingers, etc.)
Cons: Despite some of the promotional material, it is not the easiest thing in the world to get started. I tried the "handstrike" methods to no avail. After a week of using it several times a day, I am now focusing solely on starting it with the string. I am only able to get it up to truly high rpm's once out of every 5-6 tries; however I can almost always get it up to the point where it will run for a minute or two. The motion involved is not quite the simple "back and forth" that is advertised on the package or in the "instructional" dvd that comes with it. It seems to be more of a circular motion, and it seems to be important to not try to force the gyroscope to spin too fast too quickly, you need to work with it especially at the beginning. And to some of you who say it is ridiculously easy to use; yes I *can* tie my own shoes, I *am* reasonably well coordinated. Please simply consider yourself lucky that it worked for you so easily rather than insulting the rest of us.
Consequently, at this point, it is definitely *not* the tool I was hoping for in that I really need to pay attention to it in order to use it. I can't read, look at my computer screen, have a phone conversation, or really think about anything other than the gyroscope. Hopefully this changes over time.
Additionally, those folks who want to use it at their workplace should know that it is *not* silent, the gyroscope absolutely makes a small noise when it gets up to high rpms, which may be distracting in some work environments.
So, does it strengthen your hands & forearms, probably. Is it as easy to use as some suggest? Definitely not. However, I would hazard a guess that most people could develop the skill required with a few days or weeks of steady practice. I'll hope that works for me at least.
