I bet if you ask the maker (not Heinnies) what it was designed for they won't say for throwing a rope!!

The clues in the company name and their products. LOL

They'd have to wouldn't they? Isn't it illegal to sell things as self defense items or weaponry?

Incidently there's a maker of these on Ebay called DarkOwl. They sell for a lot less than £12. I have a Turks Head one of these with a 3/4" ball in it as a keyring.

Anyone got a bowling ball lying around? I'ld like to see that done. :)

I must confess to cheating. I taped the first layer to the ball bearing so everything stayed still until the knot was stable. ;)

Be interesting to see if anyone has worked out thicknesses of rope to size of ball. Think you are only surposed to have between four, and six threads. Bet you could do a football easy enough, about same size.

Might help it stay tight as well.
