For many years (until recently) the 250Hz Standard/Pro reigned

Detailed Explanation: We are regularly asked about the top speeds that each Powerball model is capable of achieving and whether one Powerball within the range is faster than the other.

The 350Hz Metal Pro (HS) is king when it comes to pure outright speed – there is nothing faster available on the market at present, for any money! Even though it is in a class of its own anyone who can push a 250Hz Pro to 12500rpm should have no problem in getting 15000rpm out of this new High Speed Metal

For many years the 250Hz Standard/Pro models reigned as kings of speed. These superlative gyros are totally unencumbered by the onboard induction dynamos which are inbuilt on the rotors of the Neon and Techno ranges and are therefore able to offer a faster spin to those seeking all out speed from their shiny spheres.

Looking at it objectively however, it should also be pointed out that the rotors on both the Techno and Neon ranges have been balanced to the same ultra fine degree as the 250Hz range and, in theory, should be capable of reaching the same dizzying heights in terms of pure outright speed.  

However, in practice, we generally find that the top speeds of these two models will be in or around 2-4% less [than the 250hz] as a result of the induction mechanism (power generator) on their rotors.

Not that this makes a huge difference of course; Neon Blue will still hit the mid 15k mark in the right hands – it is only above this stratospheric level that the difference between it and the 250Hz Pro will become apparent… (and thus far, there has only been one man on the planet who could have been privy to such minute variances!)

Techno is a further 2-3% slower [than the Neon] as a result of a slightly different internal design on its rotor and can be quite difficult to take over 15k (it will exceed this level of course, but again, only in the right hands).

Metal 350Hz [Silver]; we are offering this product with the high density (heavy) rotor as standard. This rotor is almost twice as heavy as the polycarbonate (plastic) models and so puts down a formidable challenge to those looking for outright speed. This Powerball generates a monstrous gyroscopic inertia when the rotor is spinning and is extremely difficult to push past 12,000rpm let alone the loftier heights of 13, 14 or 15,000rpm.

350Hz Metal HS [Gold] is the fastest, followed by the 250Hz models in second place and Neons in third.
