My comment was curt and perhaps a bit insensitively blunt, but certainly not ignorant. I’m surprised and disappointed that after being away from the PE scene for some time to come back to find guys still falling for snake oil that was fairly well dismissed here years ago.
Tom, I haven’t looked at your site lately, but you used to be an enthusiast of ball zingers. I’m certainly not against trying new things, even some unconventional. Way back when you started PEing there was precious little information available about PE, as in what works and what doesn’t. I’ll give you a break on trying zinging in the first place. There is no reason it should or could accomplish much, but trying anyway, well, ok. You never tried to profit by selling ball zingers. Misguided, but not evil.
However, later, hucksters stepped in and advertised zingers as practically the greatest thing since sliced bread. Their models were mostly your design. Sellers and their shills were making claims that zingers were practically magical in increasing semen volume, flaccid size, PE gains and so on. Search here and you’ll find the posts. And that’s all just plain bullshit. They were selling some tubing and a few bits of zinc and copper, probably $5 worth of parts at most for $50ish.
Zingers don’t work, but if you want to try one to find that out for yourself you can make one for cheap. Fairly pure zinc and copper can be obtained for only a few cents if you have access to U.S. pennies.
