    I have one that I use when my wrist hurts. If you cup it a lot, it can add some more revs but I don't put it at the most extreme settings. I try to set it so that it helps me mimic my normal free hand release, but it isn't the same. Also, if you're going to use it to help cup the ball, you might have to have your ball re-drilled since they can shorten your span a little.

    I have a Storm Scorpion and I have found that If I set it around 25(cupped)and 1 line left it helps me get side roll. I think it helps a bit for me in accuracy,cause my wrist is not moving forcing me to use my fingers for lift. If you have a good relationship with your pro shop,they will let you test out the brace for a game to see if it will work for you before you buy it.

    YES & NO. They might give you some more if you don't have much to begin with do to a inconsistent release. But if your at a higher level you could lose some.

    or accuracy,,,
    YES & NO. If your having problem do to a inconsistent release it could help.


    I have been thinking about getting one! Any information would be greatly appreciated!
    There's no way to tell if you need one. The best thing thing to do is go to the pro shop and try one to see if it helps. Most shops will let you test drive one.

    They help some people others they don't

    Any certain one better then others, ect.. Have any of you purchased one, only to find out it was worthless, and go back to free hand?
    I have tried many over the years, the one I like the best is the Moro Pro-Release (I use the Extended Vers.)


    It's strong, simple to use, has easily replaceable parts (padding and straps) and has lasted years.

    The main thing with these type braces is "Don't let it control you, you need to control it". You have to learn how to use it properly to get any benefit.

    Those things look like something the Borg or Judge Dredd would wear. I thought about getting one, but decided against it for now. I've already got a new ball to get used to, adding some funky robotic arm looking thing to the mix also would just be one more adjustment to make. I like the feel of not having anything on my throwing arm anyway - I have a very basic brace that I no longer use because it feels more natural to throw the ball without it, and I seem to get better results that way.

    Default Huston,,, the Egale has landed

    The two AMF’s in our area don’t have a selection of wrist braces, other then a couple very basic ones! Nothing like your RED WRIST Machine Bowl1820 LOL
    How to you put it on? Looks like a full body astronaut space suit!! Lol. Would love to see a picture of it on your wrist! I noticed it was not a dial a position? Or at least I couldn’t see an adjustment for cupping.

    Okay heres a pic.

    You adjust cup using a latch on the back, just lift it and move to position. it has 5 wrist positions from fully cupped to bent back.
    You can adjust the cock of your hand by moving the hand piece, its on a tab.
    It fits just about any size its adjustable.

    Its easy to put on, the other side is open. The nylon straps hold it on very securely.


    (the green tape was so I could see position on video)

    They can help. If nothing else they make a good trainer for a stronger wrist position.
