My Shifu used to claim some type of relation with them to Chi, but because my brother-in-law is a regular doctor, he had explained that it just a excercise to calm.
Though he had supported that any item of resonance, helps to relieve tension.
I think they are a tad overated, and somewhat of a sales marketing ploy, unless there is a Dai Fu whom can properly teach it.
I have received a set from my Shi Fu/Dai Fu, and he taught me the exercises, which is many, way apart than one/you may think.
I havent used mine for some time. They are packed on one of my shelves, as mine arent the common decorated junk that is sold. In other words, mine were "plain".
IMHO, you be better off working with a grip exercise.
