wrist support

[Martin "BLUFLAME" Seay]

I am having a problem with my wrist breaking its cupped position during the swing and resulting in lost ball reaction. When I concentrate on keeping it cupped, my accuracy suffers. Just want to hear from bowlers that use a wrist support.

I've tried many, and am finding that the Mongoose Lifter helps me to keep my wrist locked and is quite comfortable to wear. I've been advised (by Dannial Cohen) that some of the metal supports (like Robby's Revs models), will shorted your grip span and may require the ball being re-drilled.

Does that mongoose lifter change your grip?

[Jeff]

In my case, it did not. I had Dannial check my grip with and without the Mongoose, and he said it still looked good. The ability to adjust the cupping of the wrist on some of the stiffer/adjustable wrist supports shorten the grip.

Can you post a pick of your mongoose. I have a masters wrist support, just want to see if its similiar.

Don't have a pic off hand that I've taken myself, but you can get an idea for what its like here--http://www.bowlersparadise.com/shop/wristsupport_gloves/mongoose/mo...

The solid/"stiff" part of the brace is on the back of the forearm/wrist/hand, and covers about 3/4 the length of the fingers (except the index finger). There are three straps--one smaller at the bottom (farthest from fingers), the main strap at the wrist, and then the finger strap made to go around the middle/ring/pinky fingers. I can get a pic of it on later if that would help more.
