Powerbalance Bands

[sambora666]

Morning all,

Just wondered if anyone used these and if you had found any improvements in your game ie concentration etc.

Interested to know as keep looking at these.

Save your money, and pick up a lucky elastic band. Cheaper, and just as effective.

I got one as a present but was a bit sceptical as I had read the bad reviews but decided to put it on while playing this week . There were a couple of times I felt that I had turned further than I normally do but as it's been over 2 months since last game not sure whether it was in my head or not so giving it a few weeks before deciding which is better the powerband or the Trion z . :confused

I am sceptical. Putting a bit of plastic on your wrist makes you a better golfer .... P15H
...
.....because I had a plastic strap on my watch for years and it never helped me. I am still guff.

Free snake oil and pixie dust with every purchase

I'd save your money mate, these have been proven to have no effect whatsoever, and the company behind them has admitted that they are basically rubber bands and has pulled down many sites that were misleading.

Total load of pi$h.

Powerbalance bands have been proven to have no effect whatsoever, except lightening the pocket of the gullible buyer by £20 or 30.

Not that this is a surprise, since the scientific arguments for them are plainly absurd.

 

[sambora666]

I thought they were a scam hence I never forked out the dosh for one.

Interesting to read all the replies thanks

My pro was saying they work and all that crap then he got me doing some balance based stretches then got me to do the same stretches with the band on.... It didnt work

This is where I would like to see the Pros called to task. They get them for nothing, they may even get a wedge for wearing them and 1 million daft gullable golfers spend £30 each on one.

Strange that, because those balance tests work due to the practice effect, and should work even if you have only put a lucky rabbit's foot in your pocket.

If you are of a mind that a £30 rubber band on your wrist is going to help then I guess it will work. But in that case, send me the £30 quid and I'll send you a rubber band! I promise the money will be better used and I may even give some to charity

They are utterly useless. Shocking that people agree to sell them when they are plainly of no use and just a money making ruse.

Buy a Help For Heroes wristband instead.


Snelly.

They don't help with balance either.

I was in DG yesterday, and they had a Qlink pendant reduced in the sale.

To £160.

At least the elastic bands are only £30.
