Wrist problems

[tccstudent]

I am afraid to purchase online in case it don't fit. Anyways I have looked online and they don't have anything any bigger then my pro shops do

You might think about getting a compression sleeve for your wrist. I have both an elbow sleeve and a wrist sleeve (I use mine for both bowling and work). After wearing them about a month, I now can bowl and work without them...when the pain starts back up, I just wear them awhile until it goes away.

I like the Tommie Copper brand, but I'm sure they would all be basically the same. Order online, great website, fast delivery. They are kinda pricey, but a lot cheaper than physical therapy or surgery (which had been discussed with me).

I now have some pain in my finger area and am strongly considering getting the compression glove for my hand during work.

Check out tommiecopper.com - you won't be disappointed.

Nice suggestion, I've been trying wrist tape but it's a pain especially with armhair lol

I have pain in my wrist also. What I started doing is cupping my wrist less and leaving it just straight for my shots. As long as I stay behind the ball until the release area and make sure my fingers stay below the equator of the ball when I make my release I can get good revs and a nice hook on my ball. I play on THS patterns only in my league and I am using a Raw Hammer Anger ball as my strike ball and I have some nice miss area to still get the ball to the pocket. Last night I played the deepest I ever have just to try it. With my Anger ball I had the arch of my sliding foot on board 31 and was throwing the ball between arrows three and four(board 15 and 20). My breakpoint was around boards 5 to 9. The ball will hook without much effort if you have the right ball and technique. On my Anger ball my pin location is just a little outside of and a little down from the side of my ring finger. My ball has a surfase of 2000 Abralon with a reactive resin cover. With the layout I have I can make it work okay on the THS pattern. If you muscle the ball a lot then you will have wrist trouble because your wrist has to put more effort into keeping your wrist straight or a little cupped which will cause you to grip harder with your thumb so you don't lose the ball on your forward swing. I use a wrist support so there is less stress on my wrist. I have been bowling for 27 years on this league so maybe that is the reason for the wear and tear on my wrist. My ball is 15 lbs.
