Add me in....
That's why I start to sell them in Bali at my shop..
Here is how it goes:
90 to 95 % of the people who try them (do all the test) are very surprise and admit that there is something going on..
About 70 % of those who try buy it...
50 % of those who buy it, within 2 days they come back and buy for all the family and relatives....
Some people are so happy that they never stop to thanks me!
I don't really care what people think or if they say I'm stupid...
Call it placebo!! Call it whatever... I know what it have done to me and I'm happy..
I'm not going to comment on any reply I get..
The first time I replied about the Power Balance it was not nice to read all the amount of crap they wrote in reply.
Bye Jankie
PS. I also tried the magnetic bracelet that was in vogue some time ago and did not feel anything..
Sh!t where shall we post the PhD!
Maybe people that buy them want to quantify there purchase in there mind so believe they work
Its their $50 and there gonna set their mind to wnat ever the brochure suggests
The results won't affect those of you for whom it works unless faith and belief are the most important factor in their effect. And if they are, then it shouldn't matter if the hologram has an effect anyway, because you believe in it, right? That's what counts (like the legend of driving away a vampire with a cross - it's the belief that counts).
If you prove they do work, then think of all the people who you'll help, because you can show them the results and prove to them the beneficial effects of these holograms. $60 is a small price to pay for such effects.
If you prove they don't work, then think of all the people who you'll help, because you can show them the results and prove to them the holograms have absolutely no effect. Each person you tell will save $60, a not-insignificant sum of money (for me anyway).
I visit/paddle in Bali more often than I post here and for good reason.
For mine the PB is a winner.I feel stronger and more centred with it on.Almost like having a triple expresso or other illicit(?) substance.So much so that I can't sleep wearing it.My wife feels the same
Jankie is gracious enough to loan them to you anyway so where is the downside?I completely forgot I had one until reading this,just put it on and my chronic back-ache is much reduced.
Horses for courses.Try for yourself
G'day. I said my new silicon replacement under warrantee which means i have a new one unless i have a crack in my head.
A paddle in your hands is a " proven " enhancement. I catch more waves with it then before. Statistical proof!
People say "looks like you were having fun out there". Peer review proof
Do i feel like i'm surfing good? Is 1000 grins proof?
Does the P B make me better? Hard to say as i cant exactly remember how good i was back in December. Unquantifiable. Hard to prove what i did yesterday either!!?
Try one and see. Have a little more self belief because of it.
Do you doubt your legrope as you put it on.
tried..... non believer!! 3 attempts and nothing!!! but my friend it worked?? hoax? power of the mind? placebo effect?
Good day fine folks,
I would like to say thank you to you all for posting comment on this tread. I like it, i wear it, i champion it. Weather it's because the clever folks of 'power band' have given us a wonderful placebo or whatever each of us may call 'it'. Me i would like to thank them. Positive thoughts, focus - cause i can feel it on my wrist is a gift! not to mention my need of anything to help my balance, core strength or just sound state of mind.
nb: tried the test o my 3yr daughter - inconclusive. However on the lake, she asked for it for 'balance' and if i told you the result...
Hope your all having a wonderfully happy long weekend :)
Another weekend of people trying my BP band (might I add 100% success) has resulted in the band braking! Not happy, have already ordered replacement though! My wife wants to wear my broken one in her leatard for dancing, so I guess it all works out good.
This thing is proving itself time after time. I suggest limiting the number of time you take it on and off though!

Hilly, I will leave the answer to your logic. I have found (and everyone I have shown it to) that it helps you maintain and a consistently higher level of balance and power in balancing positions than with out. As balance is a rather large part of surfing..........
You won't grow a cape and start flying, or be able to suddenly walk on the high wire at the circus (or maybe you could??), but you will be able to go about your every day at your peak ability.
IMO the results are amazing.
JB
i may be completetly wrong here - but it appears there hasn't been any scientific evidence behind these bands...
if someone on here can find a journal article by a scientist that has 100% conclusive evidence that proves that they do work - then well maybe I would change my opinion.. but you tube videos and hear say - Im definately a non believer... that doesnt prove anything!
Who needs science when you've got faith?
A generation or two ago these guys would have been all flipping out about the power of the Lord.... "I felt His spirit lift me up, He gave me better balance" etc
Thats unfashionable now so they've taken up secular holograms. Same deal for them. But just as tedious for us to listen to them bang on about how "amazing" the power of the Lord Hologram is.
I'm a jaded postmodern agnostic with a physics background so unfortunately I have to rely on pure Lobes willpower. Oh well....
.
As far as I can find on the net, anybody of a suitably scientific bent is so convinced that the claims are false that they refuse to buy a hologram so they are not contributing cash to the fraud.
You can find stuff where people discuss the various scientific claims made for Power Balance, and they refute them (dodgey "test", Schuman resonance, what holograms actually do, placebo effect, ideomotor effect, power of suggestion, cheap magic tricks)
Nobody will own up to actually buying a hologram, doing a set of reasonable tests, and coming to a conclusion.
From the supporters there is a fair amount of "you haven't tried it so your opinion doesn't count", which has also happened on our happy little forum.
I'm no scientist but I do lots of scientific and analytical stuff for which I get paid handsomely. Much to my own discomfort I have ordered a bracelet from the real manufacturer for the real price (not from ebay and not a cheap one). I will give it a go and see what happens.

God this topic is driving me crazy.
Me non believer, but if you own one and believe
it works that's great.
Its a mind thingy
