Best wrist device to stop me from turning my arm early?
« on: March 05, 2017, 07:05:59 PM »
Yes my arm is turning early. I always thought it was my wrist but after watching video my whole arm is turning early. I hate to put a wrist brace on but I just can't stop turning my arm/wrist early. Need to stay behind the ball and stop coming over the top. Looking for a wrist device (if there even is one) to help me stay behind the ball.    Thanks

OP stated that his whole arm is turning early.... something significant is happening...
Does a round object have sides? I say yes, pizza has triangles..

To a bunch of guys who have never tried the Robby Restrictor.....you all are knowing and to that I say "WHATEVER"!  You gentlemen are the residence "EXPERTS".  What do I know.  I am a poor bowling mortal who tried it and for me it worked.
I guess I should feel grateful that I didn't have to hire a expensive coach to solve the problem.  Man am I lucky guy.
Sorry OP you will have to hire a coach. I still wish you well in resolving your stated problem.

What's the saying?  You can put lipstick on a pig.

Unless a person has certain physical limitations any such devices are just a bandaid for bad technique.

There are ways to get coached without spending so much money. There are other sites with coaches that are wiling to help. Just send a video.

Or you can spend money on the RR like bowlaholic mentioned before finding out if there's a flaw in your game first. You could be lucky like Bowlaholic :D

Turning the arm early can also be caused by late timing.  You may subconsciously pull the ball through the bottom of the swing and roll the arm/wrist over.

A good coach can will see if this is the case immediately, but a possible quick fix is to experiment with a shorter or earlier pushaway and see if it's easier to not 'roll over'.

Hope it works out...
