I bought myself a Powerball Pro yesterday. Fun little thing, gives my arms quite a workout. Also I think it might improve dexterity or something, but I'll have to check on that later. If anyone doensn't know what I'm talking about go here.

Anyway, if you do have a powerball, the post your high score here :)

Mine, on the second day:
