Generally speaking, a normal wrist support will limit mobility which lengthens the span. So if you are going away from wearing one, your span would more than likely will short.
I am not sure why you chose 3/32" but I would just have the span checked without the support on to find out what it should be.

I used a wrist support for several years and I too felt my span shorter once I stopped using it. Now I have several years bowling without a wrist support and when I use one my span feel longer.

I guess the wrist support won't allow the hand to fully extend and that's why the ball span feels longer with it. I did not change my balls span, because when drilling my bowling balls my hand span was measured without a wrist support, so I guess they already have the correct span, and with the time i got used to the new feeling.

Hey Nic,

What I've found is that any wrist support that has a palm strap of some sort will affect your span to some degree because you are no longer truly fitting or feeling "hand to the ball".  

Basic supports like Robby's even have that thin metal piece in your palm so those tend to push the ball even further from your true grip.  For people who didn't like the feel, I removed the front metal part (there's a small opening in the glove to do so) of the Robby's while leaving the back metal piece for some support.  On the stronger heavier duty types (Pro Release, Cobra, Scorpion etc), I used to not use the velcro strap in the palm so I could have the true feel of hand to the ball but utilize the stronger back support.

When I fit new customers, I do ask if they used a glove of some sort and make them wear it as I fit them.  Hope this helps some..

Thank you for the replies.  They did help and wer correct.  I drilled a Grand Illusion 3/16 longer with the same pitches and I have a much better feel for the ball.  It might be a touch too long, but I'll try it a couple of times.

Problem I had was I threw the Grand Illusion first and after throwing it, I knew the HyRoad was the ball I needed for the condition we had, 2000 Ablaron no polish, and I tried to change to it, but it seemed as though I was clawing the ball, so I put it up.

I already had the thumb plugged on my Agent Orange and the Shift and the fingers on a Cell pearl, so after league tonight if the new span works out, I'll plug the fingers on my HyRoad, two Virtual Gravitys and my Neptune so I'll be ready for the Military Bowling Championships in Vegas next month.

Thanks again,

Thank you Jeff.  I started therapy on my partial seperated shoulder yesterday and it will take a lot of therapy to get the shoulder right again. So I put up the 16 lb bowling balls.

I just got dome with my Cell pearl and hope to use it tonight.  There usually too much oil for the Cell pearl but maybe by the third game I can get away from the Vitual Gravity.

Thanks again for the advice.

Happy New Year,
Barry
