TrionZ bracelets on wrists of HSBC Match Play winner, runner-up

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Trion:Z Ionic/Magnetic Bracelets were the therapy bracelet of choice, worn on the wrists of the Champion and runner up of this past weekend’s HSBC Women’s World Match Play Championship. Both Professionals demonstrated high levels of focus and concentration throughout the week on their quest for glory.

The Champion wore her Red Trion:Z bracelet to defeat both the number two and number three ranked players, while the runner-up made short order of the pros holding the number one and number five ranking while donning her Yellow and Blue Trion:Z. The exciting final match pitted the long-hitting 20-year-old young gun against the 46-year-old seasoned veteran. The extra 50-60 yards off the tee by the youngster, and a few hiccups by the veteran tipped the win towards youth ending in a 5 and 4 victory for the 20 year old.

“We congratulate the Champion and Runner-up for their excellent performances, and are excited to have our products used by such an elite caliber of professionals. We are proud to be providing a service to so many professional athletes in the form of a product that helps them naturally maximize their potential” stated Trion:Z CEO Jim Uno.

In its first year on the market, Trion:Z has become extremely popular on the LPGA Tour. “Some of the players were skeptical at first, but when many players felt pain relief in as little as 20 minutes and an increase in focus and concentration, the word quickly spread”. “It’s even been nicknamed the “magic bracelets” by many of the pros”, according to Trion:Z LPGA Tour representative Liz Uthoff.

Not only has the bracelet been popular among the players, but according to Uthoff, the caddies have been some of the biggest supporters of Trion:Z. Caddy work is extremely demanding, with some Tour bags approaching 100 pounds. Shoulder, hip and knee problems are commonplace among the world’s elite caddies, and many are in constant pain. “I've had knee problems that have been getting worse over the last 6 months to the point where I could not walk a full 18 holes because of the pain” reported LPGA Tour Caddy Tom Borwick. “It got so bad that I could not bend my knees more than 40 degrees because of the pain, so I could not crouch down to read the greens. A fellow caddy saw the Trion:Z bracelets at the Bob Hope Classic and got one for me. The day after I put on the bracelet, I was able to walk a full 18 holes with very little pain for the first time in months. I could also crouch all the way down to read the greens without pain. My Pro and fellow caddies were amazed and asked me what I did, and I told them the only thing different was the Trion:Z.
