What/Where Is This Balance Training Aid?
 
Can anybody tell me what aid this is that Mr. Gay is balancing on? I can find one for a single leg, but not one this big for both feet.

Daryl's got the right address above.

The rest of the story:

Brian and I worked for a couple of days on his way to the 2007 Byron Nelson. He stayed over at the house, and I took this photo (and several others in The Gallery) in my workout room. I showed him the Bosu and demonstrated how I was using it to train personally in the various sections of the Stroke.

Well . . .

He watched carefully, then after my dismount, turned the device over. I had drilled standing on the 'blue' side (as suggested per http://www.bosu.com/), but not him. Instead, with golf club in hand, he proceeded to hop onto the wobbly surface with both feet in one fell swoop.

:shock:

If you've never tried that little trick, please don't start now. Serious injury awaits mere mortals. As for Brian, I told him I never wanted to see him do that again. I could just see the headline:

Jumped Onto Balance Ball In Instructor's Home

No way, Jose!
