power balance bands

Don't pay $60! I've seen them on ebay for 99c, probably not the genuine product but I'm sure they have no benefit as well?

I could make something out of used dingers with the same effect...

Power Balance Bands have a 600% markup on them when being sold in the stores. They are a placebo thing and if you put your mind to it then it will work. Same as everything else ie Pre Game/workout supplements etc... It's all the head and I beleive they are just a fashion accessory. I have worn one for the last 2 months and personally has done nothing for me. But I have come across players that swear by them. So it comes down to personal opinions. I can't sell them to my clients as I dont believe in them. They are however meant to make you sleep better because of the magnets but again after a big night out or a big game you'll sleep well no matter what. You can purchase them on EBay 10 for $20 I got them for but still can't sell them as I don't rate them!

It is also not a 600% mark up!

i have just invested in one. Having a goal kicking accuracy of 61% for the first 9 games ill see if the accuracy level improves in the 2nd half of the season.......its probably mental confidence if anything but if it improves my goal kicking then who cares!

Well the 2nd half of the season recorded 17 scoring shots at an accuracy of 71% BUT......

At least half of my goals in the 2nd half of the season were soccers or shots from 15m out.....my set shots outside 25m were 2 out of 6 or 7 so all in all i would say its bullsh*t

Now aceman, where is my miracle worker

Bump. Wouldn't be of any surprise to to most to see this sham product named in the Choice Shonky Awards:

Power Balance bands - which claim to increase an athlete's performance through increasing the natural energy flow - is simply just a rubber band bracelet with a plastic hologram, Choice said.

Choice said the bracelet, which is "endorsed by sporting pros" and sells "for a mere $60 alongside claims it somehow makes you stronger, more poised and just better. The band was tested at Choice under controlled lab conditions, which showed it did little else than empty purchasers' wallets".

There was a good article on them in the sunday mail a couple of weeks ago, it debunked the testing for them by claiming the improvement in stetching and balance came from the minds ability to repeat the first test better, not because your wearing the band. either way if a person thinks it improves them then why not wear one, its hardly an expensive investment for improved performance.

exactly, & I proved that to some who were convinced- I wore the band during the first "test", & took it off for the 2nd...
