Uh oh…we're talking wrist supports/braces/devices again!!!

[Konvict1982]

I currently use a PowerKoil wrist brace and couldn't bowl in a league without it. I have tendinitis in my wrist and before I got the PowerKoil bowling was getting painful to the point where it was all I could do just to focus on keeping the ball on the lane. Once I got the PowerKoil everything changed. I am able to focus on targeting, approach, and release instead of worrying about my wrist breaking backwards from the pain. Every now and then I take it off when practicing and currently I can shoot around 5 frames before it starts bothering me. I wish I was able to go without it since when I do throw without it I feel like I have more control over the amount of revs and angle I put on the ball but for now a solid wrist support is a must for me to continue bowling. I have also gotten to where I shoot all of my 10 pins with no wrist support.

In the end I feel wrist supports are necessary for some people to enjoy the game. I wish I didn't need one and I agree that they do help with training your wrist since I am able to throw some without it now when before I couldn't.

I agree with you and your thoughts, my wife has wrist, forearm problems and wears a brace. As I mentions they can be a great training device also!
