It took about 7 business days to get to me in San Francisco once it was shipped.

These balls are the best for making the PBS. Almost Golf Balls. They are made of a hard foam so they are easy to cut but will maintain there form. Here is a pic of mine. Works

I still haven't received my PBS, but practiced today all shots within 50 yards trying to maintain the pressure between my trigger finger and the shaft during the downswing and follow through (both arm

Why don't people just make one with some tape and a folded paper tissue, oh and that'll be $10 for the info

To be honest, when I got it, I almost forgot I ordered it. But I thought it was worth the wait. I started to understand more on lag pressure.

Great to hear.  I like Jeff's enthusiasm about the training aid, and hope it helps me too.

No problem Jeff.  Thanks for the response.

Question for you... Can you break the PBS90x - items 1, 2, 3 and 4 down into like individual 5 to 10 second videos?  Those are excellent for instruction.

Is this still available and how does a canuck buy it? Thread is two yrs old since last reply..


Did you buy a copy of LSW yet? Small chance I could stick one in the package.

Or… just make your own. Aluminum foil?

Thought i would give this one a bump.

Is this training aid still considered to be effective. The thread is 4-5 years old now so not much recent information on it and their website is gone now.

Or is there something more modern out now that does a better job?

Thanks,

Lee

I made one a few years ago out of aluminum foil and electrical tape. Didn't do anything for me but I may have been using it improperly or it may not have had any relevance to my swing, priority piece and faults.

Just curious, why did this aid fall out of favor?  You highly recommended it in the first post.  Based on all the comments, I was interested in obtaining one, but now the website appears to be abandoned.  Could you recommend an available alternative?

Thanks

Just found one of these on Ebay i'm going to give it a go and see if it's worth it. By the looks of the post almost 5 years ago it was supposed to be the bee's knees. We will see what comes if it :) is anyone still using it or used it since 2012??

This is my first post and apologies in advance as I do not know the protocol. I appreciate this is an old thread and I am happy to start a new one if the moderator thinks it appropriate. 

I read above about the Pure Ball Striker training aid, but at a quick look online it seems the website is no longer active and Jeff Evan's profile here is also inactive (I think he is the inventor). I wanted to ask if anyone knew if the PBS is still available for sale or of any other similar products I could check out. 

Thank you

Welcome to The Sand Trap. I don't think it is. Also, I don't think it was a very good training aid. I tried it and I feel like it almost caused you to cast a bit because they wanted you to feel the pressure on the right index finger. On the downswing, to feel that, I had a tendency to press my right index finger down, which would push the shaft down and cause a cast.

Hope this helps.

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
