Bought A Wrist Device

[Rdmonster]

Since I've spent the beter part of my 42 years hurting my body in some fashion (usually involving bicycles, motorcycles,skateboards,high places or anyhing else that can generate a fall and break bones) I'm suprised I dont need a full body brace. Once I had my thumb issues fixed I guessed I was home free.

I'm used to my left knee hurting as I have torqued it in golf for years not to mention planting it deeply in the ground during a motorcycle wreck I'd rather forget about. Tylenol,ice and the occasional Vicodin keep it in check just fine. I also have a brace I wear on it when I really need some extra support...it helps....alot.

After starting in a league...after years of only bowling sporadically...and then upping my practice I have developed a sore wrist. Its not very bad and I am going to be using my grip exerciser (the old fashioned spring powered squeezer type).I also purchased a Mongoose lifter off the internet.

I got it to prevent increasing soreness and to help get my technique down a little better. I'm not sure if I will wear it in league unless it really helps a bunch.It was a high rated one. Any thoughts on this particular device.

It's a good brace. If your wrist is sore then by all means use it during league.

RD ...... You sound like my oldest son..an accident looking for a place to happen !! LOL The wrist brace will definitely help your wrist soreness as well as help you to stay under the ball with your hand. We don't like to hear about people getting hurt in bowling.....it's bad press for the sport !! LOL again.

Thats funny Bob...if he's an adrenaline junkie like me then your probably spot on. When he gets to my age he will understand that pain is not temporary but has a way of coming back to haunt you.

If you guys want to see some cool videos look under JREED1340 on youtube. I have a hi def camera mounted on my Ducati...

I have a wrist device myself and have used it for close 3 weeks or so. I haven't really seen much improvement in my game, but it does help when my wrist is sore to alleviate the pain. I am going to try and not use it and see what happens, but at least I know it is in the bag when my wrist does hurt.

I have both a Storm Gadget XF and a Robby's Cool-Max, and I use both regularly. I prefer the Robby's, but the Gadget has it's place. It really helps me generate more revs when the lanes are wet. The one bad thing about the Gadget, though, is that the support behind the index finger tends to make me want to come around the ball and impart too much side roll. I have to really be cognizant of the position of my hand and make sure to stay behind the ball when I use it.

I just started using one as well and like the feel of the ball with it. I had to add a strip of Velcro to make it snug. I am scared to bowl without it.

I tried it tonight...I felt it helped me get my thumb out but I was inconsistent...I'm sure it will help to keep my wrist from getting sore but I'm not sure I'm ready to use it in league.

I play with a wrist brace, I got it for two reasons, the first was I hurt my wrist a few months ago and after that my wrist hurt pretty much every time I played 'till I started using the brace (now it's completely gone and I can probably play without again), two is that I feel more consistant in my release with it currently.

Sometimes I loose stability in my wrist and my hand turns over the ball and I drop it. I am thinking of getting a wrist device myself. For you all that know my bowling style, what would you all recommend?
