Pure Ball Striker Training Aid....

[the_rising]

Has anyone who's had order issues since the Masters BOGO special received any updates?

At this point I've called, left voicemails, and sent emails (to both Jeff and Kenny) with no luck....not to mention posting on here.

Still nothing. Even a, "We don't have any right now and we're trying to figure out when we'll have more," would be appreciated. No information at all is not good.

Just ordered mine on Monday. Hoping that I will hear some good news here about the status sooner rather than later.

aw crap I just ordered mine before reading this last page. So they aren't shipping atm???

[BrandonM7]

Jeff's in CA right now. I think he'll be home not too long after the clinic this weekend, assuming he's coming straight home. I don't know if he has anyone shipping orders for him while he's gone. Being a one man show can kind of throw a kink in things when you have to go across the country every now and then - I'm sure he'll get you guys straightened out as soon as he can.

[DON SVO]

I've used my PBS 4 times and I can accurately report that after 4 or 5 nice solid shots, for the rest of that practice session, I shank almost every single shot I take. With or without the PBS. I've even hit some hosel rockets on the BACK of the hosel.

However, the next range session and several rounds afterwards... I'll hit some of the crispiest, most solid irons ever. I don't get it. I don't know if I should get it though... because I swallow a bucket of balls, 50 shanks and an hour of frustration and then proceed to flat-out murder my irons for the next week... dollar-bill divots and wads of turf stuck in the center of the club face.

Anyone else Shankapotomus'ing with this tool?

[frankie67]

Ordered mine on April 15 and have not received it yet. Sent a couple emails. No reply. I hope that my order has not been lost.

[Chappie]

Is it OK to order, or should one wait?

Not with it on. I've had several range sessions using it where the lag makes the clubhead compress the ball which in turn launches the ball nice and straight. In the past for a while, after I took off the PBS I then had the shanks.

Yesterday I had a short range session (35 balls), hit 25 with the PBS and the final 10 without. The 10 balls without felt exactly the same as with it on, for me I think the key is using it for one club to groove the swing exactly the way you want. I've been using PW and it seems to help. If you have good tempo and keep your club on the right plane, you should see a marked improvement in lag and that should lead to longer shots.

Also received mine today! I actually received two, which wasn't necessary, but thanks a lot, Jeff. Can't wait to get out to the range to give it a try!

[tm3]

this is a helpful little gadget. i've been working with it while pitching and my contact has improved quite a bit. i don't subscribe to the accumulators and extensors and lines and power point presentations -- i just put it on the club and started using it.

next BOGO i'm going to pick up several as gifts. for the guys i don't play for money.

here is a tip for new users: be careful about trying it with the full swing on a crowded range -- if you let up on your grip it might fly downrange and you either eat the $20 or wave the white flag and while everyone stops and stares you run out to retrieve it.

don't ask me how i know.

Quoting myself to emphasize the date I posted as I still haven't received mine in the mail...

[ktkn]

I finally received mine yesterday. I ordered mine of March 14, 2010. I just tried it today for a few times. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be doing with it. I hit a few balls with it, but not sure what I'm suppose to be feeling...

Without reading this entire thread, can somebody put it very concisely and any drills I should be doing with it? Thanks.

i just attached it as instructed, and started hitting chips with it. then moved on to short pitch shots, then longer pitch shots.

not sure if that is correct, but has helped me.

[Sneil]

The point is to make sure you are applying a steady "lag pressure" on the device. Basically from what I understand it amplifies the feeling you should be getting on the forefinger of your bottom hand as you apply a steady pressure on this point throughout your swing. If you are not experiencing a consistent pressure during your swing to the point of contact with the ball, you need to make it so you are. Someone correct me if that's right or if I'm out to lunch...

Yep, just did this today. I knew that I didn't hold my lag very well. PBS flew down the range and I had to nonchalantly go pick it up...4 different times.

[Sneil]

Well what do ya know, arrived in the mail today

tm3 has it correct. Over time you sense the lag pressure and the ball will come off the clubface much better with less effort. As Jeff has pointed out, you have to feel it and not force it.

Last week after hitting a bucket with the PBS on and off, I played 18 holes. I hit some of the best hybrid shots of my life along with the fact that I hit 7-iron 160 and on the 17th hole hit a 138-yard PW (normally 110).

It's not a quick fix; however, if you put time in using the PBS to improve your grip and stance then you will see results.

Wait until you've used it a lot, it gets even better. Mine won't stay on the club on its own at all due to use - it's much better that way, because there's no possible way you can "cheat" it when you're having to hold it in place the entire swing. It flies a hell of a lot farther when you mess up, though :clapping:

i have sent about 4 emails in the last 3 months regarding my order but i have not heard back from the guys.

i also pm's jeff and Mr B about my orders and havent heard back. i really wanted to try this out but feel i have done enough
chasing. i am sure its a great product but at this point il never know.

[Wardonation]

Is this the same training aid that has the funny face? If so, I think it was invented by a guy in my home town Bend, OR?

When will there be another BOGO offer? Thanks!
[/quote]

Not sure when we will do the next BOGO offer possible in May.
[/quote]

Any chance this will happen?

Just caught this thread for the first time, would love to try this, but figured I'd wait for the bogo if it happens.

[TRZ06]

Does the PBS fit on oversize grips? I'm assuming it stretches to some degree, but wanted to check before ordering. Thanks!

[Nibbs]

any chance there will be a fathers day BOGO?

[Tyler Durden]

Anybody know how to schedule lessons with Jeff? I shot him an email because his account here won't take any new messages, but haven't heard back (I'm sure he's extremely busy given all his obligations). If somebody could shoot me a pm who knows how to get in touch with him, that would be great. Thanks!

[Nibbs]

made my order on june 23. sent an email asking about my order and no reply. anybody else getting absolutly no response from the pbs guys?

[KU9]

Placed an order on July 2nd and still have not received the Pure Ball Striker. Tried to call but no answer and voicemail is full. Sent a message through their site but no response yet. Anybody get theirs recently? Is there another way to contact them?

Okay, I just received my PBS and will try to answer the questions I had prior to my purchase. Firstly it took about one full month from my Paypal purchase until I got it up here in Canada. It seems most folks get antsy when they don't have it in a week or two. I'm not sure why it took a full month , but it did.

Secondly I can fully understand all the questions people had since I had them too. Questions like "How does it work?" and most importantly "What am I supposed to feel when using it?" Here's my best stab at explaining how it works (and it DOES work)....Imagine having a tiny pebble in your hiking boot as you are walking along. This pebble is a bit uncomfortable on a specific part of your heel as you walk. After 100 yards or so of walking with the small pebble pressing uncomfortably into a very specific part of your heel, you finally are irritated enough to stop, take off your hiking boot and shake out the pebble. You continue walking and now no longer have the irritation of the pebble on that specific part of your heel. HOWEVER YOU CAN EASILY RECALL THE EXACT LOCATION OF WHERE THE PEBBLE WAS APPLYING PRESSURE TO YOUR FOOT, even though the pebble is no longer there.

In the same way the PBS "irritates" your trigger finger pad. When you take it off your club, you just recall the spot that was "irritated" and feel the club pressure on that spot from the top of the swing to impact, in a similar way to recalling where the pebble was pressing into your heel when you were walking.

I had a chance to work with it for only about 30 minutes before my game today. It helped me hit some very excellent iron shots (for me) and surprisingly, helped my putting which I wasn't expecting. I simply tried to recall the spot the PBS applied pressure to on my my "trigger finger pad" and tried to feel the same pressure on that same spot from the top of the backswing to impact, and for putting from the back of the backswing to impact. Its a very simple device, but very effective from what I can see. I have had numerous PGA pro lessons and attended a couple of golf schools, and no instruction to date has been able to duplicate the results that I apparently achieved in only about 30 minutes with the PBS. .
