It CAN be a good aid but the chances are it would reinforce bad like Scott said.

Thank you. In case you know where to buy a PBS please let me know (I am still intrigued by it, although less than before). Off topic, I am a happy owner of Lowest Score Wins. It is a great read

Thank you for the tip Missouri Suede. As you suggested I made a PBS out of an almost ball and I find it helpful to practice with.

ever since I saw this video by Jeff 10 years ago it completely took my ball striking to another level, and still does :-)

and the Aiming Point Concept

Martin Chuck "clubhead delivered into a position of lag so the ball is compressed" just doing the below is a great reminder of how to hit some 10 yard shots in the garden

You said that three weeks ago, and you haven't responded to my PM in that time either.

P.S. I merged your new topic into this one. We've cut you some slack as we don't allow people or groups to promote themselves out of the gate, so please don't abuse that privilege.

Seriously, it's pretty bold for folks to come on here and promote a product for profit.  Now, about this new golf ball I've developed...

The guy needs to respond to your PM.

We apologize,

This post was written with the intentions of responding to former post/comments regarding the Pure Ball Striker. More specifically, a post made and re-edited in 2018 written by Iacas. Though we responded 3 weeks ago our companies goal was to reach out to those players and provide more information regarding The Pure Ball Striker. With the hopes of starting a conversation point on the fundamental traits for the new direction of the Pure Ball Striker and to clear the error. We apologize if we offended anyone on this site related to this post. We by no means were trying to promote our product. Also we would be glad to respond to your PM's; this is our first time revisiting this site since our last post. 

To clarify, this is not a promotional post it is an opportunity to have a discussion regarding our product. I am certain this is an honest misunderstanding and we plan to handle this situation with humility, graciousness, and transparency. 

P.S. As I stated to Isacs in a PM, our company is going to be giving him a complementary Pure Ball Striker for his detailed review and commentary on our product. In the hopes that we can help all players efficiently with their golf swing, we would like to supply the first 30 people who PM us with a complementary Pure Ball Striker to show our gratitude. More details will be given in the PM . 

Thank you

Of course you were promoting your product.

The only PM I have from you doesn't say anything about sending me a new PBS. I'll take one, and share my thoughts, or buy one, but your PM only said:

Sent through the post: https://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic/41747-pure-ball-striker-training-aid/?do=findComment&comment=654226

We plan to release our new design of the Pure Ball Striker in the summer of 2021. Our partners have made modifications to ensure satisfaction in compliance with the fundamental traits of any great golf swing. We would like to keep in touch and possible work with you on clearing up some misconceptions that may be made towards our design. We appreciate your feed back.

As an instructor, I then offered to help with the development and/or provide feedback, etc.:

I'd be happy to be involved in the development or testing or in any facet.

I'll stand by my comment regarding the previous PBS, but I still talk in many lessons about the location of PP3 (particularly at the top of the downswing as well as how it affects the club face orientation on the downswing).

The comment is simply more about how I saw people using it, what they tended to do with it (using it improperly). In essence, they would "push" against that rather than letting the shaft/grip push back against them.

If the new PBS is good, in my opinion, I'll remove the warning on the first post and link to the post you made with an update, so the conversation can carry on from there.

I'm happy to sign (or just agree to) an NDA or whatever. But please, let's understand that I'm cutting you guys a little slack because of the history, and that we generally don't just let people promote themselves without having done much to give back to the folks who make up this community.

This is the PBS topic. If a new version is released, and it's good, I will:

  • Update the topic title.
  • Update my "warning."
  • Link to the start of the new discussion (of the new PBS) in the first post.

Just a heads up: @Pure Ball Striker informed me that they’d be leaving this site and asked to have their account removed, so I wouldn’t bother sending them a PM.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
