I just bought myself one. I have never bought from overseas before. Can't go wrong for $3.46.

GarnettFan4Life · Jun 6, 2010

my mate bought one from a golf pro shop and tested it on me. At the time I hadn't heard anything about them and on testing it did work for me. (Whether or not that during the test my brain subliminally prepared for the test the second time around is another thing). They supposedly affect the bodys harmonic or electric rhythms or something to improve balance etc etc. Not sure how it works and I always thought balance was affected by vision, the eyes and the inner ear fluids etc.

I seen Paul Pierce and a few players in the NBA wearing them, so why not try it.

I got mine the other day, came from Hong Kong for around $10dlvd which was pretty good. Just cause they're from overseas doesn't mean they're fake, buying in bulk reduces cost and also the fad has died out so like anything, prices drop.
Mine looks legit as the hologram has smaller, finer holographic images on it which is identical to my mates one.

I figured, if it legit works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't, and if it has psychological benefits because you believe it works then that's all good too, for $10 you can't go wrong.

Great post Matt. Thanks for all the info. I dont understand why people pay $50 or $60 when you can get the legit thing from china for $3.50.

Rubber i think.

When they first came out you couldn't get them for under 30dlvd, and 50-60 in the retail outlets, the prices have dropped dramatically in the last month even, you can buy 5 packs, 10 packs of just the holograms from Syd and Melb for a reasonable price too, it was looking through them that I found the cheaper ones from Hong Kong.
