Q Link Pendant *Please Read*
« on: October 08, 2004, 06:14:30 AM »
Who here has a Q Link pendant and what do you think of it?  A fellow bowler bought the Classic Q Link pendant about a year ago.  He is 35 years old and has been bowling for many years.  He is around a 220 avg. bowler.  He said that before the Q Link, he had only one sanctioned 300 game.  Since then, he has had eight sanctioned 300's (also a sanctioned 299 in there too) and three sanctioned 800 series'.  He has also raised his avg. by about 10 pins (230).  It's not the house because he is really the only one tearing it up in the last year.

I only know of one person that wears one.  He's a regional pba member and a hammer staffer.  He said that he wasn't sure about it before he bought it...but since he feels more relaxed and can concentrate better.  Neither of know if it's a placebo effect but he swears by it now.

I got one through www.bnqproducts.com about 8 months ago, I wear it everyday and I have improved drastically. I shot my first 800 and my new high game of 290 a few months after I had it, My average has increased and I feel a lot better when I bowl. I was quite skeptical about it also but I really believe it works, It was also cool since i got a free silver chain and it goes really good with he classic and the silver, I have the classic, I don't believe theres a difference in performance but just looks with classic, silver and gold. If you have any questions or want to know anything else about it, let me know. I feel a lot more energetic, I am calmer when under pressure and I just overall feel a lot better.

Sounds good to me.  I just needed some "unvarnished" opinions.

I have one also. Bought it about 4 months ago.

Aside from being able to focus better while bowling, the QLink does things for you in everyday life. I get less stressed out about situations, I have learned to observe situations in a better manner before getting upset about them. And I just seem to have more positive energy. Its done great things for my bowling game as well as my personal life. Very good product.

I'm as open minded as anyone and have defended the Q-Link in many threads.


That being said... the science isn't there to justify many of the claims I've read.  A couple of the studies on the site are by flaky sources and one person reported that one of the authors had a vested interest in the success of Q-Link.

Magnets were the rage back in the day.  There was science to back it up too.  Then someone leaked that the science was misleading... it took magnets the size of a small building to make a difference, but of course people were buying bracelets with magnets half the size of a dime.  Magnetic bracelets have been debunked many times since then.

I have to assume the same with the Q-Link.  Maybe the science is legit... but I have a hard time accepting the fact that such a small item could impact the size and complexities of the human body.  

If you read their literature, it says that the pendant gets "in tune" with the body and therefore should not be shared with anyone.  That reeks of maketing scam to me. I do NOT accept the idea that a piece of "programmed" metal changes its characteristics on its own.  

By the way... they are on eBay.  There is a reseller that claims to be the only authorized reseller.  These are refurbs... people returned them and the pendants were "reprogrammed".

I dunno guys... I just don't know.

I bought a Qlink last year during bowling season, and I have an open mind about it.  I wore it for months and I cannot say that it did anything noticeable for me.  I quit wearing it a couple months ago, and again did not notice any difference.  I'll start wearing it again for awhile and see what happens.

I have a brother-in-law who is a national board certified acupuncturist and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.  He has a VERY open mind about stuff like this--excessively so in my opinion.  He is, in fact, predisposed to believe in anything health related that is new and untraditional.  He has been wearing a Qlink, and even he has to admit that it has done nothing for him.  He says, however, that he has patients who have tried Qlinks and who have claimed significant results.

I guess it doesn't really matter if your results have any scientific basis or if it's all in your head.  The main thing is that if it makes you feel better and more productive it was worth the money.  For me, the money could have been better spent; but I waste more than that on bowling balls all the time.

Is this a good deal or is it a "recycled" pendant or a fake?  If not, then why so cheap?

I have one that I received as a gift but would rather not wear.  I'll sell it for $50 shipped to the first person that wants to forward the money to my paypal account.  d14u2c@charter.net is my account ID.

Bought a Bible last year instead (cheaper).  Read it everyday.  Got pretty much the same results.  Hmmm.......

So, if I am a REALLY negative person (highly pessimistic), should I wear 2 or 3 Q-links to overpower my superhuman negativity?

Just think, if 1 Q-link can add 10 pins to my average, 3 Q-links should add 30!!
