Power-Up (By Hand) Roller Ball
Roller Ball can increase your wrist strength by playing for fun purpose. It is popular amusing exercise equipment. For the user in the beginning, practice it at different high speed revolving. After you are skillful, you might grasp the secret to let the ball send out the sound of Bon.... At that time, the speed will reach to the speed of 8 cycles per second. You may have a new experience about Roller Ball.
Okay, that was easy, right? I mean, it's instructions. Real ones... Gosh... We want more!!

[*] Be sure that don't touch to the ball body when it is at high-speed revolving.[*] Keep clean inside of ball and avoid minor articles.[*] Keep away from moist and watered places.[*] As it is precisely produced, never fall on hard surface.[/list=a]
Anyone out there who knows what they mean with 4?
Direction of rotation (Longitudinal revolving of the ball)
