Considering using a Wrist Support (Need Advice)

[tumblebug1949]

To my knowledge, the Brunswick Command X Positioner doesn't say that it will help in any way to build wrist strength. I can't say I have seen any brace that says that. I am thinking that because the mentioned Brunswick brace is leather with a metal rod in front and back of the wrist, it still will allow the wrist to feel the weight of the ball. The more expensive RIGID wrist supports take the weight of the ball completely off of the wrist thus causing you to not use your wrist muscles. A muscle not used will not gain strength. This is my thought anyway. The Command X is maybe not as good at training you on the wrist and finger positions because it only assists in holding the wrist straight and does not give much support to the fingers.

Items like the Gizmo or Pro Release and others like these are better at teaching effects of wrist position because they lock the wrist in a variety of positions both forward and back as well as from side to side.

Both training variations have good points however the best wrist support is the wrist itself. Some of us just need to learn what the wrist positions do and get a little help with our game until our wrist builds enough strength to do the job on its own.

My opinion may turn out to be wrong but just like everything else in life, a person has to start somewhere.
