Fairways & Greens printed an article about the benefits the WristRipper™ offers a golfer. It talks mostly about injury prevention and rehabilitation:

Grip It So You Can Rip It

The hands, wrists, and forearms are a very important part of the golf swing.  The big muscles of the (legs, back, chest, torso) supply the power that is then transferred into your hands, wrists, and forearms on impact.  As you can imagine, this is a lot of power and force that the small muscles and tendons of the hands, wrist, and forearms need to control in order to deliver the club head accurately and powerfully into the ball at impact. Therefore, developing strong hands, wrists, and forearms is a key component to improving your golf swing and ball striking ability.  Strength, conditioning, and flexibility training is becoming a very important part of golf. Have you ever noticed the forearms on Tiger Woods and David Duval?  Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player were famous for their strong hands and forearms.  The WristRipper™ can help you develop these highly important, but often under trained areas. Here are some of the results you can expect from training with the WristRipper™:

• More Power and Distance
  
• Better Club Control
  
• More Accurate Shots
  
• Reduce your chance of developing injuries like golfer's elbow and other overuse injuries of the wrists and hands commonly associated with golf.
  
  • Elbow injuries are the #1 injury suffered by women golfers.
    
  • 50% of the people that play golf will develop a hand, wrist, or forearm injury at some point in their careers.
    
  • Injuries can be frustrating and even cause some people to give up or stop playing the game they love.

Here are a few quotes from professionals emphasizing strong hands, wrists, and forearms. These are not paid endorsements, but quotes taken from various books.

"The hands are the only connection between the power source, your body, and the delivery system, the club. Strong golf starts with strong hands."

"I regard the hands as linkage; hinges through which power, first as leverage and then as centrifugal force, is transmitted to the clubhead."

- Jack Nicklaus; Golf My Way

"A sure fire way to add strength and distance to your golf game. The WristRipper™ builds the essential golf muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms."

- Brent Garlock, Professional Golf Instructor and founder of Soft Touch & Sensible Golf Schools

"The WristRipper™ is an attractive product because it is simple and works a group of muscles where strength is important. As golf equipment has advanced into lighter and stronger materials, the modern golf swing has evolved into a more upper body dominated action making forearm and wrist strength extremely important. Toning and strengthening your forearms, hands and wrist will improve your strength, control and consistency."
