Remember this link..... Well if you read it you will see that I was a complete skeptic. Today a friend of mine bought the hologram and I did the test. Got absolutely no idea how it could possibly work but it seems to. I couldn't get to the shop fast enough and I just purchased two of them.

POWER BALANCE was developed as the marriage of two ideas: First, years of extensive research into holographic and lenticular media showed the complexity of the hologram and the fact that it can be programmed to hold certain frequencies. Second, further research was necessary to understand what frequency it was that best promoted energy flow throughout the body. Once discovered, this led to the unconventional programming of bio-resonating frequencies onto holograms. The result was POWER BALANCE. Similar forms of this technology have been used in Eastern medicine for centuries and are quickly being introduced and embraced in the west.

Ideally you would have three. They work best in triangles one on each wrist and one on your heart.

But I really bought two, because I know you will buy it when I do the test on you. And if you don't, I'll bury it in the ground and climb the beanstalk that grows from it the next morning.

Here's a clip from Today Tonight

I remember a post from you Oliver saying that you
would stop buying crap from ebay when you were pissed.
Did you relapse!
Jack

My inlaws brought them a couple of months ago and reckon they work.
Good work Oliver, even if you beleive something works enough it can only be good for you, I would be willing to test one, donations can be sent my way

Yep Oliver, I have one. I got mine free as I know someone who has something to do with it and I was the biggest sceptic.
But people get curious so I do a couple tests and they freak out. I know nothing about how they work or any tricks to use
when testing people but it works every time. I don't understand it.

Either way, as Brooko said if it was a placebo and it makes you perform better/feel better then it's all good. I know a few
crew now who think they are surfing better, more flexible etc and I've even seen people say their knee/shoulder/back etc
haven't felt this good in years.

I also heard that surf brands are stitching them into boardies, the US army are stitching them into uniforms and a
big physio group in OZ will be endorsing them as well.

Aaaaah Brooko, thats too much info on your inlaws if they bought them for the same reason as Daletor.

FMD where do I get one [}:)] I remember a similar test when wearing polaroid sunglasses , I bought 3 one for each leg.

Tiger woods bought one but it sucked all his balls down the wrong holes

now there is a board that needs help maybe power balance could help someone who paddles that big yellow banana into a wave bigger than shoulder high

Grab yourself a dumbbell set. Find the heaviest weight you can hold with your arm outstretched. Mark a line on the wall so you can check the level. Repeat several times. Note the weights and any wavering of your arm. Maybe add the time you can hold the weight.

Add Power Balance. Repeat the above. Note the weights and any wavering of your arm and time.

That should give you a measure of the effectiveness of the Power Balance thing in terms of kilograms.

Ideally you should test a number of people including convinced, sceptical and don't care.

F@ck it. I'll just buy one and do it myself. ... not at $60 I won't.

Apprently you can now buy power balance suppositories but they are 100mm in diameter x 4 strength.

If your flexible and capable enough to insert them you have the mental strength and pain tolerance to achieve many other tasks in life.

They also maintain once inserted you will remain completely full of vitality.

Available at local supermarkets ask for them by name!

The sellors of this crap are bending you over anyway might as well go the whole nine yards :-)

a mate of mine is right into these things, and I have used one a few times. in all honesty did not notice a huge difference, if any.

But I have to say in this article dailystoke.com/ there are some guys who rip giving it props.

Juries out, but different strokes for different folks, and if it increases your fun in the water...who am I to judge..

Mikeman, I really like your suggestion of providing an identical fake....and if that works get that order for 100,000 of them straight to China. Power of suggestion makes the world go round if you look at most of the non essential items we buy anyway.

scotty at greenline made me do it and then put something in my outer hand and sure - stronger and balanced. i believe you could grab a comb and get the same thing. think it just gives the other side of your bodys muscle some contraction to balance out the other side working in resistance or something like that. in general surfing if you keep both arms- shoulders balanced against each other you will surf well. a common mistake is guys dropping their inside shoulder on a cutback and they fall off. watch the pro's, their shoulders stay aligned with their body no matter what rad positions they get into
