Have you used Wristband (Power Balance) and any first hand experiences about them?

[SankarReddy]

The effect of these are debatable (i.e no general consensus that they help) and wanted to see if anyone around here have first hand experience using them?

Power Balance bracelets exposed as a sham


“Power Balance has admitted that there is no credible scientific basis for the claims and therefore no reasonable grounds for making representations about the benefits of the product.
“Its conduct may have contravened the misleading and deceptive conduction section of the Trade Practices Act 1974," Mr Samuel said

these are a scam!

Players wear them coz they paid to wear them!!

Nothing different from going to Peer Baba who can give you extra "strength" if you pay him!

or that famous Baba's Taveez!

 

[Cricketismylife]

100% scam!

Only people who like them are sellers of the product. (or people who bought it and now cant accept they have fallen victim to this sham!)

Like in the cricket supplies forum that Nick admin is shamelessly promoting it, then tries to defend his stance once medical research proves they are dodgy.

Here in Australia they have been ordered to refund people's money. The guy who owns the company was some sort of handyman who has become a millionaire by selling these!!

Nothing more than a fashion accessory.

 

[ammo]

It is a scam in commerece we reasearced scams and this was the teachers example!

 

[xkalibur80]

It gives you a perception of added strength - science hasn't proven anything though. If you want to try it, you can get it for $15 in Toronto and see for yourself.

 

[Poison]

Placebo effect.

I hit 24 sixes in one innings with the Powerband, buy one off me on Ebay

 

[PakPeace]

It does work somehow

 

[ammo]

might give you confidence in thinking that it works but that is it.

 

[Cricketismylife]

It does work somehow

u bought one, didnt u?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nah nah, heard of em.. dont work.

 

[Cricketismylife]

ppl are gullible. how else can someone sell a piece of rubber for $50 claiming it will make u stronger and faster????? Of course in effect it does nothing like that.

This is like a criminal fraud.

 

[Mogambo28]
