Thinking about picking on of those bracelets up. What are yout thoughts? Are the nice and do they work?

Thank,

Heath

I have a couple cause I like the thing as a colorful bracelet.

Does it work? I highly doubt it

They were on sale at a golfsmith recently. Don't know if that is the case everywhere

I think they are pretty much between the ears but they look great. I have several & love them. Do I notice a difference when on? No not at all. But I think it's also kind of a golfers badge if you will. The only people I ever see wearing them are golfers. It says your a player IMO. My wife has the rubberry Callaway ones but Trion's stand out.

I just upgraded from my solid black band to the LSU Tigers version. I don't think that they work but they sure look sweet!

I have the bracelet and a necklace and I don't think they do anything but like herkyjerk said the only people I see wearing them are golfers, and most of them are pretty good players.

I tried mine on the course yesterday for the first time. I don't know if it worked or not, but I did hit some great shots. Hopefully more to do with my game than the bracelet, but I will probably put it on again for the next round. I like the way it looks, so it will probably stay in the bag for a while.

It's all about the mental, the placebo.

You feel & look good by wearing it, thus you play better.

You should wear it full time like the rest of us golfing folks!

Their supposed to relieve tension and help you relax.

Phiten is another brand.

You see ALOT of baseball players wear the phiten brand, especially pitchers. They claim it helps them relieve tension and relax.

I noticed that it helps speed up recovery and helps me sleep better.

During the olympics the japanese female volleyball players wore phiten necklaces. They claimed it helped them rest better.

When i went on a trip to japan our tour guide suggested that we purchase phiten socks. We walked probably about 5 miles a day and spent alot of time on our feet. After wearing these socks i noticed my feet felt better after waking up and i didnt have as much fatigue.

Its not just there for decoration.

Do they work... no way... I had no illusions of magical healing powers when I got one! I bought it because pretty much all pros wear 'em and they are sort of a golf style trend - they were on sale and I figured... what the hell!

I guess I'm a slave to marketing!

there's not a single bit of independant research that shows that any of the magnetic/ion/copper bracelets do anything for you.

that said, about 30-40% percent of the people we sell them to swear by them.


That's a pretty solid placebo effect. Which, of course, I just ruined by telling you that.

For those with pain check out this stuff.

Also used in the olympics. Corey Maggette and Elton Brand use this in the NBA also.

JUST FYI- any negative reviews of this product get deleted because they sponsor these forums.

I wear a Trion Z braclet 24/7 and always will! I was in a bad car accident 7 years ago and my left ankle had to be fussed by two 8" titanium screws. I have almost no movement with it so I always had pain. I was told to try these out by a friend and I SWEAR by them!!!! I have almost no pain in my ankle now. I don't know if it's in my head, but I don't care because it works for me. From what I read on the net they are supposed to help if you have arthritis. I will always wear one of these. I don't care that the pros wear them, for me I believe they work. The $20 they cost is much better then eating Excedrin like candy just to get threw the day! And just for the record I originally was buying the cheap copper braclets and they aren't even in the same park as these!!! Trion Z is the best one I have ever owned, within 10 minutes of putting it on my pain was almost gone!

I know it is psychosomatic, but hey whatever works. Alot of pain is in the mind, and if I can have a placebo effect make me feel better, why not?
