    The thing was you had to learn how to use it. When most people first tried it they would top the ball really bad. Because they let it control their hand.

    The trick was when you held the ball, to turn your hand till you felt weight of the ball sit on your index finger. Then hold that position through the swing. You do it right you had a nice roll and turn on the ball. You could hook the whole lane with that thing.

    One thing you had to hook the ball at just about every spare, unless you took it off. ( You could suitcase the ball and get a pretty straight shot. That's how I picked up ten pins).

    The worst thing was the cheap straps the Original black one had.

    Once you learned it, when you tried without it , all you had to do was hold the same position the glove held you in and you could throw a pretty good shot.

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.

    Woah, I didn't know you could set a cock amount. Maybe a wrist device can act like training wheels.

    I would be careful with with, yes it can help you find the correct wrist position, but you may find yourself becoming dependent on it....

    its like using a crutch to take the weight off your leg, if you don't need it all it will do is make your leg weaker because its doing all the work as apposed to your leg

    This, a million times. Unless your wrists are physically too weak to hold the ball, I don't recommend wrist guards. They merely hinder learning and eliminate hand adjustments.
