Power Balance Bands

[kmdmr1]

Hi all,new to this but was interested in hearing your thoughts on the (Power Balance Bands) and whether they actually work or not..I know this been a hot debate lately, but having tried one myself I believe they do work,but I seen a thread on here last week which slated them,this has given me second thoughts now,but I visited my range last night and with my borrowed band from a mate,I hit 30 balls with and 30 balls without,when I had the band on all straight shots with no effort without the band good but not as good at least 20 yrds difference between irons,
So before I go and splash my £30 hard earned cash,I thought I would just see if anyone on here has had any joy or is it all in my mind :

I would tell you to save your money and get a lesson or two. These things are crap

If it works for you then great but the effect is 99.999% probably all in your head.

But if it makes you feel more confident then crack on.

If you send me £25 I can send you some lucky heather. Stick that in your back pocket and your sure to play like a pro.

I'll sell you my lucky heather for £15, it has the same effect when I play with it in my pocket. Deal?

I can do lucky heather, rabbits foot AND a lump of coal for £10 mucho bargain.

Just leave me your name and bank details

I'd been looking into these recently. Was tempted for £30 it put me off a bit. Would sooner put it towards a new club which would probably improve my game more than a wristband

I can do Heather for a few drinks and a meal.

Have to say I think it is probably bunkum as I can't see how a band can influence the bio-mechanics of a golf swing. I did have a Trion bracelet for a while and I did think I slept better but it had zero effect on my golf

 

[TobyRich1928]

U could get a trion:z band! There basically the same and there only £20! Bargin!!

 

[daymond]

£5 is probably £6 too much.

 

[madandra]

£5 is probably £6 too much.

This is the only way to sum them up.

I threw one in the bin yesterday. The are pointless. Luckily my brother gave me mine and I didn't stump up the £30 myself

Is Ethan still doing his invisible golf Leprechauns? Didn't work for me but the TaylorMade Mer-Made was brilliant. Haven't found the water since I got one.

In all seriousness they have recently been the subject of litigation forcing them to change the wording on their packaging in Australia as there is no scientific evidence that they improve performance. It is believed by experts that anyone experiencing improvements is benefitting from placebo effect.

Sorry

Anyone tried attaching them to other parts of the body to see if they give more power and a straighter shot there too?

 

[need_my_wedge]

you'll be lucky......

 

[need_my_wedge]

I've got a power band on at the moment. It was given to me a few weeks back. I don't think it's made an ounce of difference to my golf swing, or my balance etc...........

On the other hand......., I wear a golf glove, that gives far more benefit .

I know someone who wears one and sincerely believes that it helps them sleep better.

If they fit my wrist they sure arn't gonna fit anywhere else!!

You might be able to double or triple wrap it.
