Operation Flow

The Pocket Ninja, arrives unassembled. Therefore, before the fun begins, players must build the Pocket Ninja using the provided pieces and guide like a 3D puzzle. Created by experts in sports and cognitive science, the BoulderBall has been praised for its ability to enhance creativity, concentration, and finger grip strength. The Pocket Ninja builds on this legacy, introducing new and exciting features that take training to the next level. One of the standout features of the Pocket Ninja is the optimization for DYNOs. This exercise challenges players to throw and catch the Pocket Ninja using only two fingers, constantly changing grips. Inspired by the famous Ninja Warriors, this dynamic motion not only enhances finger strength but also improves hand-eye coordination and reaction time. The DYNOs exercise is a fun and engaging way to keep your skills sharp, whether you’re a seasoned climber or just starting.
