Access
the Zone Test and Review / March 2002
Last
summer GolfTest USA was contacted by Subconscious Solutions
and asked us if we were interested in testing and reviewing
a series of audio tapes that were designed specifically
to help golfers improve their mental approach to the game.
We thought that would be a very interesting subject to explore
so we invited Subconscious Solutions to send us a couple
of the Access the Zone tape series. The audiotapes were
developed by two hypnotherapists, Mike Allen and Marianne
Hill. We received two sets of tapes, one primarily for men
done by Mike and one for women done by Marianne. However,
we were told that anyone, male or female could listen to
either one and would benefit from them.
We lined
up 10 average golfers (5 women and 5 men) and had them use
the tapes for a period of a month and play several rounds
of golf after listening to them. We then had the golfers
rate the following criteria on a scale of 1 to 10 (with
10 being best).
- Easy
to Use:
averaged a 6.5 (comments made were that you had to commit
to the time necessary and listen to the tapes to realize
the benefit from them.)
-
Improved Focus and Concentration: averaged an 8.2
(most of the feedback received from the golfers was that
the tapes were very helpful in this area)
-
Reduced Stress: averaged an 8.7 (everyone agreed
that stress was reduced considerably)
-
Helped Lower Scores: averaged 7.9 (8 out of the
10 golfers responded positively)
-
Will Continue to Use: averaged a strong 8.8 (we
think that this indicates that the golfers felt the tapes
will continue to benefit them and help them improve)
-
Overall Rating: averaged an excellent 8.4 (while
we don't have any similar tests to compare to at this
time we can confidently say that any rating of 8 and higher
is a indication of a product that is of excellent quality
and in this case does what it claims to do.)
Access
The Zone is a product that would be of interest to any golfer
looking to improve their mental approach to the game of
golf and reduce the levels of stress they may experience
while playing golf.
Following
are some comments made by the golfers who used the Access
The Zone tapes during this test:
-
The four tape series teaches the listener to eliminate
negative thoughts, learn how to develop concentration
to a level that distractions are eliminated while confidence
takes over, and brings out the ability to focus on your
shot while fully relaxed.
- Allen's
self hypnosis tapes leads you into the zone of confidence,
control and negative free thinking making your goals in
golf attainable.
- By
reviewing these tapes I will find myself in a relaxed,
focused, and confidence tension free world of golf shot
making which I never knew before with the ability to use
my subconscious mind. The end result is that I am In The
Zone.
- I
have listened to the series of tapes "Access the Zone"
and feel that they are some of the best I have used.
- Although
the tapes advertise that they will improve the mental
aspects of your golf game, I can see how they can be applied
to any area of your life.
- Marianne
teaches you how to examine your swing while in a deep
state of relaxation, find the flaws and then mentally
fix those flaws by replacing them with your own much-better
golf swing.
- These
tapes are supposed to be for women, but I thought they
were so good that I had my husband listen as well.
- I
can compare these to other books and audiotapes that I
have read and listened to and without a doubt these are
the best.
GolfTest
USA gives Access The Zone an EAGLE rating.
