I got one of these for Christmas. Having already read this thread I was skeptical about it but I decided to try it out anyway. Do I believe that this holograph has special powers to make me have better balance and be stronger and more focused? No, I think it is all placebo effect.
With that said, the placebo effect is all that I needed. I'd been battling through confidence issues when I play hockey over the past year and a half. A bunch of younger, more athletic guys joined up in our weekly game of shinny and I felt old, slow and no longer any good. I contemplated quitting. The bracelet was just something that helped me snap out of my negative thinking. The bracelet itself didn't do what the sellers claim on their websites. The bracelet helped me to will myself to doing better. It was more luck than anything. If I went out and had a bad game that bracelet would have hit the garbage. I had a good game because I was aware that something was going to be different, and I was thinking in a positive manner and I had more pep in my step, I had more confidence that I was going to play better, and the confidence is what helped me play better. The bracelet was just a prop to help me change my focus.
You could do the same thing by taking a piece of athletic tape and telling people to place it vertically on their left butt cheek and they'll become better athletes. It's just a simple trick to make you force your mind into thinking more positively. Your ability to do something is mind over matter and sometimes you tell yourself that you're not good enough, your mind won't let you be good enough and you get stuck in a rut of negativity. Sometimes it takes something simple as a lie to help you change your thinking to get out of that rut.
