I've ordered a trion z for christmas - i doubt very much there would be a noticeable difference or even an immediate effect for the person, but i like the idea of the science behind the product. To be honest these things are not new - my parents remember seing something similar in the 60's, 70's (maybe not the holographic discs used by PowerBalance, but the magnetic bracelets).

~And I've ordered the power balance for Xmas!
I''ve heard about biorhythms and stuff in the past - its worth a try asd everyone seems to be praising it so much.
Will test it out in the nets! But if I fall over, it's going straight into the bin!!!  ;)

I dont think you will feel so much on cricket basic.
I understand that I will opserve all the negative "waves" comming from, cellphones, computer, tv signals and so on, making your body/brain relax more, and taking strees and tiredness... But thats only what I get from reading there homepage..
I can also have misunderstod it, my english is not perfect (I'm from denmark) :)

Had to go one step better did we Pete?????
I think it's funny how 20-30 years ago the only place you would hear about the bodys magnetic field and maintaining a positive energy balance was through alternative medicine/hippy movements and before this religion - and now it seems to have gained momentum in the world of sports.

Sorry chap - ordered it yesterday!  ::)

But after looking at the testimonials, it was worth a try!

And my mum used to bang on about these energies and stuff years ago. So it does seem funny how things revert back to the old ways of thinking!
There has to be something in it!

And Rubin - you know damn well that most of you Scandinavians speak better English than wot most of we does geezer!  ;)

I don't know if it works, but even if it don't, maybe it will effect you psychicly ? and then you can say it does work :)

Pete: Don't know the word "geezer" :D
Silly: and the same about "Norbs" =)

Well - a month in from getting the trion-z bracelet and i have to admit i have felt no real difference, hate to say it but i think these are very much placebos - like to hear other people's experiences.

I've also invested in a powerball pro, should be at home waiting for me when i get back - want to see whether these are over-hyped or whether they do give a decent workout for the wrists, forearms and shoulders

have been using a powerball for a while now, they do genuinely actually do something.  good for wrists and forearms, cant say ive ever felt it in the shoulder though.

slogger - it depends on how you use it, arm-wise. straight armed, bent arm, etc.
