I've never been very adept at golf but I do rub Enzyte™ on my Power Balance bracelet before hitting the nightclubs. I find it balances me, even with all of that pulling and tugging in a crowded room of strangers...muscle testing to follow....

My understanding is that if you rub a little of that Enzyte on your putter every night, you probably won't need that Power Balance band any more.
Maybe this is the same stiffness concept that Mike Weber and Simon have been going on about for the past six months?

Re: Applied kinesiology and foot orthotics: True or scam?
I have a very similar product called a Breo Roam watch - http://www.breo.com/item/RoamWatchYe..._0_2209_1.html it was recommended to me by a fellow pod due to its low cost and durability but when it came in the post the packaging was making big claims such as
"A naturally occurring mineral, tourmaline is widely used as a semi-precious gemstone and is responsible for many beneficial health effects including: - Increased concentration - Natural detoxification of the body - Improved sleep, relaxation and meditation - Improved vitality and mood " i just like the watch but now they are mking headphones and claiming they do the same thing .

Delusions of grandeur. Not only do the proponents insist that the cause is external, but they tend to see themselves as revolutionary saviors of mankind. They claim to have discovered new principles and forces, ones whose ramifications will transform contemporary science, not to mention society as we know it.
Delusions of persecution. Those who suffer from delusions of grandeur frequently exhibit delusions of persecution. Self-styled revolutionaries assert that orthodox scientists dismiss discoverers of breakthroughs such as radionic devices and the like merely out of envy, pig-headedness, conformism, or unwillingness to give credit to brave outsiders who are not part of the scientific establishment.

Re: Applied kinesiology and foot orthotics: True or scam?
I had the most unusual experience just this week with AK in my office. A trade office that represents Korean business owners contacted us recently and asked if the owner of a new insole product could come to my office and show me the product and bring us lunch. I'm always game for a gratis lunch so I accepted.
The insole was fashioned in a manner where the arch support could be adjusted longitudinally along the insole for comfort. The businessman had me stand on the devices and then began muscle testing me as they do in AK. He had me hold my bent arms out in front of my body and clasp my fingers together and them applied a force downward and repeated this off of the insoles.
I didn't have the heart to ask the interpreter what relevance this had to the properties of the insole and given that the box made claims that the metal piece in the adjustable medial arch support "improves the circulation", I just smiled and nodded.
They forgot to bring lunch btw :)
