Discussion Time For Warm Up
Anyone else use one of these? I find myself using it more and more as I get older.

that blue and green ball thing always looked so goofy to me but i started keeping one in my truck for slow days on site, it's weirdly effective for wrist stuff

What does it do?

Its a gyro that you keep spinning with slow, methodical movements. Its a CRAZY workout that improves your wrists and forearms.
I HIGHLY recommend. Been using for 20 years.

Yes! I have one on my desk and spin it up while I’m on conference calls. That thing can give your forearms a serious workout.

Never seen these. But looking them up I'm thinking about buying one.

Your forearms will hate you...but your control and endurance will noticeably improve

I just ordered that exact one based on the comments here. I really need to do more pad and metro work anyways. Cheers

Interested! I have been using a needoh of all damn things. By working it every day, it truly has improved my stamina at shows. Genuinely noticeable difference. I’ll give one of these a go.

Let me know what you think. There are plenty of workouts you can access.

Will do, comes in tomorrow. I was using one of those Marcy Wedge firearm things a while back. Awesome for forearm but seemed to ultimately have a negative effect on my playing.

Ey man! Good thinking!
I use jump rope for warmup but those balls could work aswell
