Last night after leagues, I started to throw the ball without using my Robby's Revs wrist guard.  I noticed that I didn't have as many revs on the ball as before, and my accuracy didn't seem quite the same.  Has anybody else had these type of results when not using a wrist guard?  I am going to pick up a wrist support, since it still isn't as strong as it used to be.  My main question is how do I get more revs on the ball without the guard?  Somneone told me last night that it would take time to get the revs back, is this true?  I'm just curious & concerned, as I want to try not to use the guard for the rest of the summer, as I don't feel it's necessary anymore.

Any questions or suggestions are appreciated.

Bowling is more fun when you only have to throw 1 ball..........F*#k the 10 pin!!

I used to use a wrist guard when I first started off bowling, but the pro shop guy said that it weakens your wrist strength over time. So I went to a bowling glove, that gave me the hook that I lost form getting rid of the wrist guard. Here is the one that I used.

Also over time you should wean your self off using anything at all on your hand.

It's probably just me, or not being used to not wearing the wrist guard that threw off my accuracy last night.

The support I was thinking of picking up was one that just goes around you wrist, for support.  I used to wear a glove a long time ago, but didn't see any increased results, plus when I got rid of it, some of the grip somehow melted onto my pointer finger, and didn't come off for about a week & a half.

It has been about 3 years since I started wearing a wrist guard.  I've tried throwing without it a couple of times, but my wrist hurt at that point.  Last night it felt pretty good without it though, so I'm not going to use it & see what happens.  Not to sound repetitive, but does it take some time to get the revs back without the guard?

I've always been told you'll get better revs w/o a support as it always you to get the wrist into a better "cupped' position.

i used to wear a robbys back when i had a problem turning the ball early or topping the ball. when i corrected i stopped using it. i prefer not to use one now. i can go from an end-over-end roll to a ball with some side turn quick and easy without it.
