Question from Maurice:
Q – Hi John and Tony,
I know that there are many wrist devices available to bowlers these days. Most of them seem to offer support for the wrist/forearm and some also provide assistance with getting the wrist/hand into a cupped position (in varying degrees).
However, I’ve no problem cupping the ball. I find that my difficulty lies in keeping my wrist neutral unless I am really concentrating on doing so. Is there a wrist device out there that will keep my wrist/hand from assuming the cupped position?
Thank you.
Happy Bowling, Maurice
A – Great question. As you know, most bowlers have the opposite problem, keeping their wrist cupped. The adjustable wrist supports usually have a strap that go around the palm of your hand to help hold it to the support. This should help hold your wrist straight when you flatten the device out.
This also helps you find middle ground in your cupping too. You have more than just cupped or flat, but maybe you need something in between. The Brunswick PowerKoil is a great option, and there are many others as well.
For this type of concern, you will definitely need a support that goes up the back of your hand, and not just around the wrist or forearm.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
What happened to your Hammer line? I don't see any of the new balls like the Arson and Epidemic.
At this time we aren't carrying any of the new Ebonite Intl releases. This includes Ebonite, Hammer, Columbia and Track. We hope to be carrying these brands in the near future, but at this time they are unavailable.
How do we get our hands on overseas balls like the Roto Grip United and Extreme Mutant Cell?
Overseas releases that are in the manufacturer's current line cannot be sold in the US. Once they are discontinued, we do sometimes have the opportunity to purchase them, which we often do. So keep your eyes on our site for new updates!
