Does all the junk really work? Phiten and Trion:Z's products? Personally I think it's a great way to make a KILLING since people are so gullible to believe almost anything!!!! I got some Phiten products for baseball our coaches gave us, and I didn't really feel anything....but the necklace looked cool! It's funny cause some people think these things will make you better and perform as the companies claim they will. My question is, Is this true? Can a bracelet/necklace really make an impact from being magnetically enhanced? The information sounds legit, but then again, I'm pretty good as bullshitting my high school AP Chem teacher so I could say the same about a bottle cap and market it...

Some people say they feel really weird the first day and then feel good the next, but maybe thats ust a placebo effect, like it felt so bad the first day, so it must be god today! Im a little skeptical because even their packaging says there is no proof behind them, but on the other hand, it cant hurt.

Pure placebo.

I read an article a few weeks ago in which some scientific experts were polled and the consensus was that it is physically impossible for the magnets or metal alloys to do any of the things that are claimed. Things like realigning electrons and such just can't be done, certainly not by wearing a bracelet or necklace If you did do some of those things to the atomic structure of your body, the results would catastrophic, not beneficial. :rolleyes:

They work great for the snake oil salesmen who market them.

No-one ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the average person.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Are you kidding? These thing work wonders!! I don't know how I played Golf with out one. I mean, come on. With the removal of the Negative Ions, it only leaves you with positive ones. With only positives, you will no longer have a negative swing again. You can lose that MOI driver, draw bias and Hammer driver if you wear one! WOOT! Swing fixed!

I purchased the Ronco MRI Suit. The field it creates aligns the poles of all the cells in my body. It produces a biological Feng Shui.

My friends that worn them no longer wear them now. I used a copper bracelet many years ago to help with pain relief and I think it worked, I exercise to help with any pain in the body now.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
