QLink need Golfmagic 's help to find testimonials for their product

Qlink Classic pendant

Leading Tour players are always looking for something that gives them an edge over their rivals – a little extra distance from a ball, a driver that offers a better trajectory, a putter that instills total confidence.

And while more and more are turning to mental gurus to help them focus better and dismiss bad shot from their mind, a number have discovered the QLink pendant.

Usually worn around the neck, it contains a minute chip which act as a tuning fork resonating with a note to which the body's energy system should respond.

QLink claims the body’s ideal note pitches itself to the pendant and in time, note and body become harmonised.

Particular benefits to golfers, including several in the world’s top 50, have reported an increase in energy levels, more mental clarity, improved sleep and less anxiety – combinations which add up to a significant competitive edge.

Other benefits claimed by QLink include a reduction in the effects from exposure to mobile phones and computers and fewer headaches.

QLink is currently hoping to trace users of their product and are keen to receive testimonials from golfers. They have ask Golfmagic’s discerning visitors for their help, so if you have used their product with success contact enquiries@qlinkworld.co.uk and pass on your messages.

I thought it was a reasonably interesting article. I try to keep an open mind on these subjects, and have some knowlege of the body's own frequencies,Unique, sort of like a fingerprint some think) but i am never going to be able to give any sort of opinion as to the pendants efficacy, as the cost of £85 for the least expensive one is way out of my price range, for something that simply put, may not work at all. If Q-link are willing to lend me (and other golfmagic forum members) one for a proper trial period. I would be more than happy to give them a detailed rundown. As I keep detailed records of my scores, number of putts, greens in reg' etc. But at £85 i dont think many of us here (and elsewhere except california) will be trying them out im afraid.

They do offer a 90 day money back guarantee so could class that as a trial. I have one and its worth every penny imo

Purchased one via ebay direct from the USA for half price working on the basis that if it doesn't work would only lose £50. Have worn it for about three months and do appear to be much calmer on the course. Otherwise no appreciable changes.
Posted: 17/11/2004 20:44

I think having spent circa £100 on a pendant, anyone would convince themselves that it was working.

Mind over matter, that's all it is.

Interested in one of these devices as Imperial College London no less, gave it the thumbs up.

But is it all placebo or does it actually reduce EM radiation effects, eg from your computer, mobile phone headache etc ? Any feedback from users on this would be appreciated.

I really like the idea- god knows theres alot of funky-radiomagnetic energies and all sorts hovering around, waited to make me shank my lob wedge for the 20th time in the round. Question is , how good is to 're-tune' the natural energies in your body, and could there be any side effects that we don't know about?
And whos goign to buy the dodgy looking 'microchip on show' version, when you can get that lovely silver wee nugget! *hard hat on awaiting flak now, sorry :)*

Buy a tens machine with four pads off e bay which will do you far more good and they do work.
Posted: 18/11/2004 15:33

I have a phd from Imperial College, not worth the paper's it's written on so I wouldn't take much note of their endorsement!
Posted: 18/11/2004 15:36

doesnt work, had 1 for 3 months
waste of cash

** my 5p worth save your money **

all in your head
Posted: 18/11/2004 17:19

If anyone's payed £80 for one of these they need medication lol....

By the way i have some luky conkers complete with string,hang one on your bag and never miss a fairway or green again £25 each ...works for me :o)
Posted: 18/11/2004 18:37

Great feedback from Lionel Irons and JB... How true !
As a MSc man myself I was somewhat sceptical of the claims but thought the Q link may have a measurable protective 're tuning/harmonising the resonant frequency effect' on the bodies bio field/aura protecting it from the induction effects from outside EM radiation. ( I used to suffer badly from Mobile headaches from enforced overuse at work ). The science seems a bit too theorectical/wishee washee and anecdotal evidence from GM ex users seems unconvincing.
The silver/gold ones do look quite cool though - thermo nuclear medalion man style
Posted: 18/11/2004 21:56

nice to see some people have open minds!! It works for me and thats all that counts
Posted: 18/11/2004 22:04

I fail to see the bona fide science behind these things. You can manipulate the statistics to prove whatever you want (e.g. Bush won the most votes in US history yet Kerry was still only a few percent behind). I would ask whether these guys have submitted these devices to proper phase I, II and III clinical trials, double blind controls etc. If it make you feel better go for it, I rather have a round at a nice course with a few hills.

On the other hand there is some evidence that copper bracelets help joints. One of the clinical treatments is apparently direct injection of copper or gold into the joint to alleviate pain. So potentially wearing a bracelet rubs of a few molecules which get into your joint...
Posted: 19/11/2004 15:53

are you saying it would be more effective to suck one of those bracelets rather than wear one, because you'd ingest more copper?

Probably choke on it on the downswing!
Posted: 19/11/2004 15:59

Nice one!!!
Posted: 19/11/2004 16:03

Golfers are by general agreement the most gullable sportspeople going, but anyone mug enough to buy one of these things wants there bumps feeling (then a bit of snakeoil rubbing on, I'll sell you a bottle for £79 you'll be positive it works).
Posted: 19/11/2004 16:24

Better get feeling that Harry! 300 Tour Pro's wear them and dont be so narrow minded!
Posted: 19/11/2004 16:26

Hey custard i bet they don't pay for them.............i'll wear one if it's free and then ,and if after a year my golf has improved by cutting some shots off my h/cap then i'll buy one.......so if they who make/sell them are reading, send some for us lot at GM to try for you if you dare....
Posted: 19/11/2004 21:52

Why would you wear one if its free? If you say it doesnt work you wouldnt wear one if you had to pay for it or not!

They give you a 90 day money back guarantee so you can try it!
Posted: 19/11/2004 21:59

cause i aint daft enough to fork out £££££ on somthing that is about as much use as a chocolate teapot..
Posted: 20/11/2004 16:03

so if its no use why would you wear one if its free?

You certainly are Harry. Shame people wont open their minds!
Posted: 22/11/2004 09:37

Mug enough to work on my golf game instead of having the stupid gullable belief I can buy a golf swing with ludicrous tat?
Mug enough not to need a useless expensive emotional crutch (read placebo) to keep my nerves on an even keel on the course?
Open your eyes mate and your brain if thats possible and realise your getting ripped off right and left.
Posted: 22/11/2004 10:28

Oh right so i am a mug to try things to make improvement to my game. I work on my game Harry thanks very much and am always open to suggestions which will improve me no matter what they are so stop slagging off peoplem for trying something which i doubt you have experience of

I can understand the vicious antipathy towards these pendants, my mind used to be that closed as well. My left wrist has suffered in recent years, particularly in wet weather. On a bad day it was giving me serious thought as to whether I could carry on playing golf or not. Several times over the course of a year my wife suggested a copper bracelet. This was met with a lot of negatives/teasing from me, much like the things I read on here. Finally, after a particularly whiney evening from me(like many guys I don't suffer quietly), my wife went out and bought one for me. I started wearing it on my left wrist and felt improvements within 48-72 hours. After 2 weeks the pain in my left wrist was almost negligible but the bracelet did interfere with my watch. Switched it to the right wrist and saw no loss of effect.

On holiday last year I lost the bracelet in the sea but didn't give it a lot of thought. My wrist had been fine for nearly 2 years so I reckoned didn't need it any more. 2 months later the pains returned so I bought another bracelet and have worn it ever since.

Now I am not saying all of these things work, or even that they will work the same for each person. But I can say that, for whatever reasons, a bit of metal round my right wrist stops my left from hurting. Even if these things only work because people belive in them, is that a bad thing? All of you that deride these things, could we scan your lives without finding something you do that might be mocked for seeming superstitious or pointless?
Posted: 22/11/2004 10:45

My experience of Qlink:
One of my playing partners ( a notorious club thrower) turned up a few weeks ago with one of these things on. "What's that for?"
"To keep me calm".
After a bit of nobbling we cracked on. 9th hole he duffs a shot out of a fairway bunker, cue a load of expletives and his 7 iron goes flying down the fairway.
"That was £90 well spent mate."

So I say again, these are useless tat and let them sue me if they can prove otherwise.

If thats what your basing your opinion of them on then no wander. They are not going to change a hot head like that!

Suggest you go to www.qlinkworld.co.uk and have a read!

... I'd probably have to give up golf if I lost my lucky black cat ball marker
Posted: 22/11/2004 17:37


Taz
I agree with Lionel's comments (well I would) - the reading of the qlinkworld site and its baffling scifi speak is complete and utter gibberish.

Sorry C.S.
Posted: 22/11/2004 17:41

Thats fine Al. Its your opinion. Its when people start being offensive and slagging you off for wearing one that gets me
Posted: 22/11/2004 17:52

OK you're right, its your life you can wear what the hell you like. This is however an open forum and so I'm allowed to express my views (most of the time;0)). I just cannot believe how anyone with a brain in their head can fall for this BS. Al's lucky marker probably does his game as much good at the cost of a few pence.
Posted: 22/11/2004 19:11

... there he goes again C.S. - makin' it personal
There are a lot of things in life that you could state "can't understand how anyone with abrain in their head can fall for that load of ......"
Fact is most people believe in summat - no matter how far fetched some of us might think that belief is.

If it works for YOU - then it works - period.

Incidentally C.S. - have you got the matching earings and bracelet?

; o )
Posted: 22/11/2004 19:27

Custard, I'm with you!

I mentioned in a previous thread that I wore one and took a bit of stick for it, but that's only to be expected on the forum! I'm not saying it's turned me into a tour pro, or even a half decent club pro for that matter. I can't hit a ball a hundred yards further than I used to, nor can I now one-putt every hole. It hasn't suddenly chopped ten strokes off my handicap, and it certainly hasn't chopped ten pounds off my weight!

What I can say, without doubt, whether it be all in the mind or not, is that it has made me a much calmer, and more concentrated person on the course. Before wearing the QLink, if I completly duffed a shot, all my mates knew that I would duff the next three or four. The red mist decended, my blood presure went sky high and my trolley used to take a hell of a beating!

Now, I just seem to be able to put a bad shot behind me and concentrate on the next shot. Maybe it's all in the mind and that a lucky marker, a lucky cap or even a lucky rabbit's bollock would work just as well, but then again maybe a QLink does work - not for everyone, but for some. It's worked for me, not only in my golf but in day to day life as well, so as far as I'm concerned, it's been £99 well spent. I can't understand why more people don't at least try the thing - if you're not happy after a couple of months send it back and get a full refund, simple!

P.S. Harry, rumour has it that Smithy has started wearing one, and look how he's improved since pulling on the famous red shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted: 22/11/2004 19:57

Harry

Yes it is an open forum and yes you can express your opinion but you have got personal by stating that i am a mug and havent got a brain for wearing one and thats wrong. Al expressed his opinion but didnt get personal!

These forums arent for critising other members. They are for us to talk about golf!
Posted: 22/11/2004 20:02

I have an open mind about the Q-link but if you think about all the alternative therapies science is discovering reasons why many of them work, often in contradiction of the traditional explanation. Take for example accupuncture, the body runs on electical impulses transmitted down the neural network, strangely enough if you look at the lines the traditional healers claim yin and yan flow along then you will find they very much follow the neural network so if you stick a conductive needle into one of these points, hey presto the current is diverted or blocked altering the neural signal.
All the activity of the body builds up an electric field and we have all heard the scare stories re electric fields from electricity pylons and mobile phone masts etc so I don't see why something like the Qlink shouldn't work.
