Q link / Trion Z - Are these complete a waste of time and money?

Trion is a load of rubbish. Had one last year and it caused me to develop tendonitis in my wrist in the space of 2 weeks. Removed it and the pain disappeared.

Magnets shmagnets...placebo effect only and a really just a poofy fashion item IMHO.

Rant over...
 
You might want to do a search on the forum, there are probably half a dozen threads asking the same question. The majority of responses are the same as above, a few find they are a benefit.

I'm all for the placebo if it works, but it's a bloody expensive placebo....
 
Bought my Trion:z band last year went from 9.8 to 7.7 all due to the band! If you want them to work then as said there is a chance!

What i will say is every game I forget to put mine on im already at a loss cos of the mind factor. I think I once read the old gunners striker Terry Henry say he has no superstitions because the 1st time he forgets to due the certin thing he will then be all ready in a neg state of mind!
 
Best thing i did was get me eyes tested for 12 quid... turns out i needed one contact in my right eye for golf.

Depth perception improved 300% and can now judge 'feel' distances from 80 yds in loads better and read putts like never before.

Honestly, eye test... can have a major effect on your game. Forget about magnets
 
i cant say whether they work or not, i was always in the "oh c'mon what BS" before

i wear a trion z and have done so for about 8 months(i thought id give one a try what could i lose? £19 max)as i have a painful ankle (from almost shattering the socket playing football in the past) even during the summer i was in considerable pain just sitting around and it tends to get worse in the cold

since ive been wearing one i DO seem to be experiencing less pain in my ankle

i cant say the seemingly lesser pain can be honestly attributed to the trion z or just placebo


but when id forgotten to put i back on i did seem to get pain back in my ankle , i have left it off deliberately to test ,but then i know i havent got it on and could be in the mind but i do get the pain back


id say if u dont mind possibly it not working for you and 19 quid is a big deal then dont

but if £19 is worth the chance of it helping you then give it a try
 
Lets make sure we know what we are talking about. When we say 'it works', in science or medicine, we really mean that the outcome is mechanistically linked to the intervention by a plausible, if not necessarily fully understand, mechanism. So if I give you a drug that increases strength, and you hit the ball further, that could be said to be a valid effect, and the drug 'works'.

The so-called science underlying these bracelets is complete and utter nonsense, and if you believe in it, you may as well believe in homoeopathy, horoscopes, that the sun moves around the earth and that spacemen built the pyramids too, because they are just as plausible.

People who believe that Trions etc. might work will, by definition, tend to be (apologies to those affected) the more gullible in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't buy them. More gullible people are also more susceptible to the placebo effect, where they perform a selective recall bias to remember the things they think were favourably affected by the voodoo, and forget the stuff that wasn't helped. They are also more likely to favourably respond to stunts like the Power Balance tests which are actually a good example of the effect of practice rather than the band.
 
So where do lay lines fit into all of this?

And crystals (which we know are scientifically proven to sharpen razor blades, along with curing all known ills).

Next you will be telling me there's no tooth fairy, the yeti is made up, and father Christmas doesn't exist.

I was going to put it another way but changed my mind without changing the sentence properly! Now corrected!
