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.



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!
