I have read a nearly 2,000 post elsewhere about the PBS and never heard of anyone saying this. Are you sure you have it on the club in the right place?  Not being rude, just wondering if there is a logical reason why you would have this problem.

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

I've put it in the neutral position and from there moved it accordingly to accommodate a stronger grip. I find it uncomfortable to have my index wrap around it and have my thumb placed on the club properly.

I also took advantage of the BOGO offer. Mine arrived a week ago, but today was the first time I tried it.  I am amazed, I only used wiffle balls in the front yard but they flew straight where I aimed. With a tight pattern, it was shocking. I have to say my normal grip was letting the club shift in my right hand at the end of the backswing. Keeping pressure on the PBS required me to keep the right hand on the club fully for the entire swing and it feels terrible but it works. LOL.

Now I will keep it a secret from my playing partners until I can make the change a part of my game. Thanks Jeff and Erik.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

just got mine a few days ago.  unfortunately the grip on the club i keep in my apartment for practice swings is to narrow for the PBS to get a good hold, but i'm looking forward to taking it out to the range.

Guys I would just like to add that I emailed Jeff about postage to Australia. He was very quick to respond, and even allowed the BOGO offer after the finish date. Its a real credit to Jeff and Erik, and others who run this site. Their customer service is second to none and makes the game so much more enjoyable.

Thanks guys, cant wait to get mine in the mail.

I'm going to subscribe to this thread and read over it when I have time.  Sounds neat and anything Erik highly recommends is good enough for me.

It's pretty easy to recommend something that costs $16 because it's very easy to "get your money's worth" out of something that costs $16!

How different is the PBS to Gary Wiren's The Key? I have The Key and must say it is excellent at teaching lag and how to control one's right wrist during the golf swing.

The only reason we are stating this, is because the order conformation states "You will receive a confirmation e-mail providing shipping details when your order is shipped.". So when we don't get an e-mail in over a week, we tend to want to know whats going on.

I hope it comes in by Friday so I can use it when I hit it this weekend.

In response to this; He contacted me immediately and I was informed of shipment and delivery date. It shipped the day he said and arrived a day early.

I've only used it in the back yard with some practice swings. I will be taking it to practice this Sunday. It does feel a bit awkward but it's a training aide.

Nope it still feels uncomfortable. The discomfort is not from the grip alignment but from the unit being too bulky for my hands.

I agree. Have also placed an order even though I'd like to know how it differs from The Key as the concept seems the same. So far, the only difference is the price - The Key cost me $50.
