Title: Wrist support
Post by: thedjs on September 15, 2003, 10:22:33 PM
I've been having problems with my release and I'm considering getting a Robby's Revs support.  Since the thumb will probably come out faster, would it be a good idea to change the thumb pitch?  Presently I'm using a 1/4 reverse.  I'm thinking of going to a 1/8th or maybe even 0 pitch.

If anyone is using one of these supports, please let me know how it works?

Thanks

I have the original, the revs 11 and tried the revs 111.

I like the 2 model the best. It doesn't even feel like your wearing it compared to the original. the original put pressure in different spot in the swing, wear as the 2 feels non-existant.

the 3( with index finger) will definitely get your ball into a heavy roll.

I'm currently using the revs 2 & have found that I've had to go with a little less rev pitch on the thumb. Not much, but I've switched from 1/8 to 1/16 & I'm coming out of the thumb a lot cleaner again.

Not trying to highjack.. But anyone use the Mongoose Lifter? I think it is a great support.

Hey bullred, just wondering which master wrist brace you were refering to? I sometimes have to wear a brace due to a previous wrist injury but still like to have a little front to back movement. Thanks.

Don't forget that a wrist support will almost always change your span. One should get one's bowling balls re-drilled if you change to using a wrist support regularly.
