Trying to get more revolutions with little wrist strength

[nathan]

I probably shouldn't be giving anyone advice, but I'm sure someone here will correct me if I give any bad advice.

One thing that helped my a lot was getting my thumb hole fitted properly (i.e. tighter). Like many people, I use to squeeze a bunch, causing an inconsistent release. As I learned to relax, I've had to add more tape. This allows me to relax my thumb, which lets it come out before the fingers.

So for me, proper thumb hole fit + follow through + better timing (slowing my approach) = more rotation. I still need to work on hand position and wrist strength (as far as getting more revs, anyway).

For wrist strength, I use a 15lb dumbbell, a 10lb dumbbell, and a ball. The tighter thumb hole helps here too, as it's easier to lift the ball (by cupping my wrist) when I don't have to squeeze. I have a ball I don't use anymore with no tape and it's more difficult to lift because of the extra effort required just to keep it from coming off my hand.

edit:
This is probably unnecessary, but I'm bored, so I took this image from your video so you can more clearly see where hand is compared with Bill O'Neill*
