I'm not sure if this belongs in this thread? Is this stuff a gimick? Sabona & Trion-X bracelets, Q-Ray pendants? Does anyone have any experience with any of these? They say tons of pros use them.

I've tried the bracelets and did not notice any difference in my game. But I'm not one of those that believe in magnets healing or sleeping in a pyramid to ward off evil.

Have been wearing the Sabona bracelet for two years and have not had anymore golfers elbow problems. Have been wearing the QLink pendant for 2 months and even though i'm not sure about it, the wife has noticed my stress level has decreased and i'm not as hot headed on the course. Do they really work? Who knows and I don't care cause golf is 90% mental to begin with.

golfchief, I live here in the desert (Arizona) but we don't have any pyramids to sleep in, any other ideas to wart off evil spirits?

I have never done the magnets but I do have an old original Sabona copper bracelet that I will wear when I am playing a lot of golf. It seems to help to reduce any joint pains associated with golf like in the wrist or elbow. It could be all in my head as well. I pulled it out the other day to see if it would help with a new pain because I saw Mark Calcavecchia wearing one on the Shark Shoot-out. The blue around his wrist was a dead giveaway. Anyway, I woke up this morning and the pain was gone...or was it?

Anyone have any experience with the magnetic and/or copper bracelets?

You ever see Bull Durham, where Nuke LaLoosh wears a garter belt and refuses to have sex with Annie because he thinks it makes him pitch better? There's your answer. To quote Crash Davis: "If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you ARE! And you should know that!" Greatest sports movie of all time, BTW.

I have used a cheap one before and it worked, but in my opinion they are part mental, if you want them to work, they will.

I have a Trion Z bracelet and necklace. I usually only wear the necklace at night or when hitting balls, but the bracelet pretty much all the time. Over Christmas, I took both off and forgot to put them on for two days. My back (which has been bad in the past) started to ache after having been good for quite some time. Been wearing both the last 2 days, and back is feeling better. Could be all in my head, but I could care less. If my back is good, I'm good. Beside, they both look good too

Ok, so I think there's a bit of placebo affect with this stuff. If you think it works, then it does.

In 06 I bought the Q-link pendant. I felt something initially with it on that was weird. I check the packaging/instructions, and it said there was some affects that would be short-term for most people. It did go away and I wear it to this day. In 07 I bought a Trion-Z bracelet. Not sure I feel anything with it, but I still wear it. My handicap went down 5 points in that time frame.

Don't get me wrong, I also upgraded some equipment, practiced more regularly and focused harder. If anything start with a Trion-Z or the other new big one (Els wears it) is Phiten bracelet, its a less expensive trial than the pendants.

Personally I think these are all a gimick which puts ideas in your mind and then you think it's gone when you where the product.

However, I have never worn anything like that but I have also never had any reason to wear them.

I really don't want to think about it that much because then I'll probably feel some sort of weird "ache" somewhere.

In my opinion, if you want to where them and they seem to help you, what's the difference?

If you find some that are cheapish then just get them and try them out.

BTW the pros probably get paid to wear them.

    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
