DYNAFLEX PRO-SPORTS GYRO EXERCISER,1CT

I can understand how people can find this product difficult to start, however, just on that point alone doesn't justify it being a bad item. Once you get it started it does take timing to keep it going, as you would need with a jump rope. As with so much people now, if something isn't easy to use immediately with no immediate result, people write it off. Once it gets going you just need to "play" with it. My brother had such an easy time with it, I wasn't about to let him do it while I failed. Most people will attempt to spin the gyro as fast as they can, but its all about timing and technique. Once you get it right it feels like it is going to jump out of your hand.

I was having some wrist problems due to activities and using the computer at work so much. This started to affect my bowling and dart throwing. After using the product my wrist strength as well as my game improved. I did lose the string to start the product, but after contacting the company, I was informed that I could send a self addressed stamped envelope with a description of what I needed and they would replace it at no cost.

I have recommended this to many of my friends and family. I also explain that as with any product to improve strength and stamina, it is not a miracle product. Be patient and work at using it as intended. As with a new game, dont just give up after a few tries.

This is a great product the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because, the string, I had to put a dowel on it with a hole in it to be able to pull the string good enough to get it going. Once I did this, hang on the ball is going a really gives you a work out. Great for people like myself who can not work out on weights because of a balance issue.

it's funny reading these reviews where folks throw there hands up and say the dynaflex doesn't work. it works. this where i defend the product--go look on youtube and search for "dynaflex"--you will see this exact version of dynaflex performing excellently.

as far as i know this gyro has been around in one form or another since the 70's. my memory is that it didn't used to come with a string. the trick with it is getting the feel to make it accelerate. it can take awhile. although this recent version comes with a string to get it going, you don't need a string at all--matter of fact i would say avoid the string so you can get the feel for making it hum on your own. if you can find the feel, with a little practice you can get it going from even very slow speeds.

remember when you learned your first trick with a yo-yo? -- it took some time to learn. the dynaflex is no different.

so i said my piece here because i'm bothered people say it is a faulty product. it isn't. it works. you have to spend time with it. don't buy it if you don't plan to spend time it.

have a great time playing with it and using it while doing other stuff.
a high tech replacement to the old palm squeezer.

First one I got would not start (no matter what I tried).
Next one worked well for the first 20 or so uses. Now it will not keep going no matter what (it never "planes up" like it use to). Stay away from this piece of junk.
