If Dumbo had his magic feather, I have my Power Balance that has allowed me to fly. Before anything else, I did not receive any money or any type of bribery to talk about this amazing product. I paid to buy one and in fact, I would rather not share this secret with anyone because it has given me an advantage over my opponents in the sports that I engage in. But since I’m a nice guy and have a big mouth (and couldn’t think of anything to write about this week), I might as well let you guys in on it.
This Power Balance is basically a rubber band that you can wear on your wrist. It has this hologram that supposedly transmits a frequency that makes your body stronger and more balanced (sounds Ernie Baron-ish). At first, I was skeptical because I’ve been had by con artists before, like the time this witch doctor sold me a love potion, which didn’t really work (though my shih tzu keeps wanting to mate with my leg). The sales guy gave me a convincing demonstration. First he made me stand with my feet together and pulled on my arm while I tried to resist, mostly my cynicism. I lost my balance immediately. Then he did the same thing again but this time with the Power Balance in my hand. I immediately felt stronger and was able to hold my balance perfectly even as he kept pulling harder like a dirty old man begging a GRO to come home with him. Then he made me stretch my arm by pointing all the way to the back as far as I could as he marked the spot where my arm started shaking uncontrollably. Surprisingly, when I did it again with the band in my hand, I was able to stretch out farther.
There’s a big chance that this is all just placebo. But here’s the thing, I’ve been playing in an alumni basketball league with a bunch of out of shape 30-somethings and I’ve been averaging about 1.308 points per game. When I started wearing it, I got a 10,000% increase in my stats. Placebo or not, it worked. Now, I’m not hitting Kobe Bryant numbers yet, but as soon as I buy 5 more of these babies, who knows! As far as where to buy it, I’m not telling because you might be going up against my team next week.

yup. AS long as it works, that’s all that matters. whether you paid 300 or 2,200 is secondary.
just curious, has anyone tried other products similar to power balance. I have a friend who swears by this magnetic pendant he wears around his neck. It supposedly makes him stronger.
people!… stoked in trinoma mall sells it at P2,200. i bought one since they assured me its original but boy oh boy!!!… it’s fake! i had it checked at toby’s and at health & beyond! i will demand a FULL REFUND! or else, i will go straight to DTI!
@tim, i think that’s a Quantum pendant…it’s more expensive than PB and phiten…
where i can buy that power balance bracelet?
hi sorry for my late comments. i got piled up with my paper works. ever since i got into business, ive become a wise consumer. to all who have been asking why is mine SO CHEAPER.my friend supplier brought it by bulk; im just a direct seller with no further expenses;no tax to pay; no store to worry about; and why would i marked up the price so high if i can get it so cheap; and why would you think its price is worthy of 2,200 when you know the materials is just made up of rubber?
@yayo, by the way im also selling quantum pendant and phiten.of course mine got cheaper price.
Hi! where can i buy PB? i leave near alabang, pasay and makati area.
I prefer in malls where i frequently visit every week. i live in las pinas. thanks
how much this pb cost?
@ kcebs, sure ba na fake ung pb sa stoked? bumili den ako at wala ako ma feel na difference pero ayaw nila ibalik ko. exachange lang daw. saan mo pina check kung fake or original?
mis rubiy how much do you sell your power balance bracelets,is it original
@deggy. you can email me at rcyan_o7@yahoo.com or just text me at 09082120227.
i got mine in rockwell in health and beyond. but some guys commented they sell fakes. though, mine works fine.
hi peeps! i was able to buy 2 bracelets from ruby today at 300each (promo price for the month of july hehe), and it works…i can’t say though if there’s a difference on the benefits/effects from the power balance sold at health and beyond with the one she’s selling but i can honestly say that it works just fine…
@tim you’re right, as long as it works, that’s all that matters!
@mark > > > have it exchange na lang ng ibang power balance sotcks nila. u have to insist and demand for it. have it checked sa toby’s (ground floor/trinoma) or at any health & beyond. try mo din sa olympic village/trinoma if they have na. goodluck!
this isn’t powerbalance, this is pureBS… how can it transmit frequency? frequency is just the number of occurences of a repeating event per unit of time. in other words, f=1/time… 10,000% increase in ur stats? thats 100 times so that means 130 ppg?… u should be in the nba dude!
hi po
i also sell power balance 
it’s a lot cheaper than those sold in malls 
hello, how will you know if it is fake or original? is there any difference between their physical appearance?
hi ken. read the comments in this post as they will teach you how to find out if it’s fake or not. thanks.
the power of PB is in the hologram.. fake and original have holograms..do they have the same power?
I hope this works lol. I’m buying one.
There is a difference between product selling and creative selling. In product selling you sell the product. Creative selling is making the person or prospect think, feel and act for his own benefit. If you are able to do it creatively, the prospect will buy the product…simply said..sell the benefits.

lucky for me i was able to buy four PB bracelets in singapore. and it’s genuine. the store is an authorized retailer. it has s sticker sign of PB and the packaging/box has this “seal of authenticity.” it cost SG$69 (roughly PHP2,277) another thing… new design from PB is that the logo is a bit bigger and the hologram would have the “authentic” & “genuine”. the word “performance technology” is now italics and between “E” & “R” below the word “POWER”.
hope this will put an end to those “fakers!”
don’t buy from people or bogus dealers around malls.. better buy it in a legit sports shop like toby,s and the like.
Bro,
As I can see in the photo, it seems your wristband its fake (I can be wrong)

Thanks,

If you buy it @ 2k+, most likely you’ll say that it has an effect. My friend bought one and keeps on saying that it works, maybe it’s his ego and wallet that’s talking. LOL
sir does your power balance edges are smooth? or has excess rubber.
and is it prone to dust? because is prone to dust. tnx.. hope you reply.
ha ha! that’s funny, joe. the higher the price, the more effective.
hey thiago, are you sure? damn! I bought mine at rockwell mall at health and beyond. and I’ve tried it in games and it worked.
thanks for that info. I got mine at an authorized distributor. Now I can sleep well at night.
does your powerbalance sorta “fade” over time? i mean the thin film of plastic that covers and protects the mylar hologram sticker, does it get cloudy as time goes? thanks
yes, mine fades and some of the letters have come off. still works fine though. the placebo effect, I mean.
yes, that was my problem too but i already gave mine away.. i will try to buy another bracelet with the “old” logo.. i think they lasts a bit longer than the new ones.. thanks for the info sir tim!

I like it ,how much power ?
i bought one at proline greenbelt 1. i hope its an original because it cost me 2090 pesos. can anyone inform us or give us tips to know if a power balance bracelet is authentic or not. what are the difference. obvious and not. what to observe when buying. what to look for in the box and at the item. whats very confusing is that i bought my bracelet at proline for 2090 pesos… and searching in the net, a video on youtube comparing an original and a fake PB bracelet. they have completely different box. and the one that is labeled fake is exactly similar box that i bought at proline yesterday. here is the link… watch?v=oHmh0gRT5Gc … append after / @ youtube or just search on fake power balance. please give some feedback so that i can have a refund if what i bought is fake. THANKS in advance!
I bought before and it’s worth 1k. It was working fine but then the logo fades away. I checked online for authentic powerbalance bracelet and i found out that i bought a fake one but it still works. I need to know if the original one will fade it’s hollogram. I check in robinsons galeria and there are two store that sell this power balance one was 2090 and the other one is 2200. The 2200 power balance is much the same that i saw in the website of powerbalance.net and I am making more research if an original will fade its hollogram. if it will fade I won’t waste my money buying it.
I need your advice guys regarding the hollogram. Will the original power balance fades or not?Thanks
i bought 2 PB. 80php each.. i’m doubting if its original or fake because it’s very cheap. can someone clarify that one?? plssss.. thanks.
150 lang bili ko sa robinsons mall…. ok rin…. tumatalab naman…. hewhehehehehehehehehe
i will buy 1 power balance and i saw it cost 1900 at health and beyond at SM North EDSA the ANNEX.do you think it is FAKE???
just send me a mail on facobook…..
just send me a mail on facebook…..
I have my power balance bought at Chris Sports (SM North-Annex); it cost me Php.2090. I picked the color gray with white lettering. Why did it’s PB logo on the side fades. Dirt is building up inside, covering the sticker. It’s just 3weeks since I bought it but it already looks like it undergo a disaster! I also noticed that the adhesive [glue or whatsoever] is slowly failing making the clear portion which cover the sticker little by little removed from its place.
i’m selling fake power balance bands for php 100 each only. Please add additional php 150 for LBC delivery. My email is kasalanan2006@yahoo.com.
Thanks. More Power and Balance to you all.
