    minusION bands

    Seems to be the in thing now, see a lot of people wearing it. Do they typically wear it on the right wrist as it's the wrist that goes through more strain?

    I seem to have developed a bit of stiffness in my left fingers in the mornings, would wearing this on the left wrist help?

    It depends. If you believe that "ionized" jewelry can help you, then it might do some good. If you don't believe it, they are useless.

    They look pretty stylish though (if you're into that type of thing)...

      Can't help but notice that a lot of pros seem to be taking it up though

      Now for me, the only thing I get on my right hands are blisters, but on the left the finger joints do feel sore sometimes the morning after. So I'm wondering, if one does get them and chooses one wrist to "display" them on, which one would it be?

        Looks like you have a faulty grip.

          Hmm care to elaborate? Are you referring to the blisters on the right hand or the sore joints on the left hand? I just had a lesson last week and my pro checked my grip and said it looks good, but I'm open to suggestions.

          Thanks!

            Seems most logical (if logic is applicable here ) to wear it on the arm where you hurt the most.

              Sam Snead always maintained you should grip the club with the same pressure you would use to hold a live bird. If your grip is too tight you will never release the club head as you should, also,you will cause calluses to develope. It could also lead to lack of distance.

                I've recently developed a callus on my right hand ring finger middle joint. I try not to grip too hard, but have been to the range on consecutive days and recently been trying to develop a more powerful hit. I'm not sure if the callus confirms I am indeed gripping too hard (or wrongly), or is that something u can't avoid if you are hitting over 100 balls everyday for 3 days say?

                  a more powerful hit will make you grip tighter, a more powerful swing will be looser and the ball will go further.
                  Which can you move faster, an iron bar or a leather whip?
                  Think whip for irons/woods, iron bar for putter/chips.

                    It does seem likely your sessions at range are a contributing to calluses forming. I still think it would help if you reduced grip pressure. You will most likely find much flexibility in your wrists,and a much improved release of clubhead at impact.Just a footnote,maybe the copper wrist band has a placebo effect.

                      Thanks guys I'll follow up some of the discussion points in a more appropriate section (swng instruction)...

                      I have a white band and an orange band. Wouldn't be caught dead wearing them out of the house anyway, so I just put them on for a few hours during the weekends if I'm at home

                        I think you'd similar results from wearing a Rosary or something else you believe in. Minus ions? give me a break!

                          Haha ok I guess the pros who make millions can easily afford a couple of them and wear them during the comps for decorative purposes
