Question
What is the purpose of using an arm/wrist brace when bowling..which is better arm or wrist.
I have a habit of crossing over my chest when bowling and not getting consistency or control, I am thinking a brace would correct this problem..any help is appreciated

Answer
John,
Wrist and arm devices are targeted at specific issues with the wrist or helping create rotation.

If you "cross over your chest", it sounds like your releasing late and may have a fit issue. A wrist device won't help. Talk to your driller/shop operator and have them watch you bowl a little. You are not allowing the ball to go in the direction your body wants, so somethings wrong. Usually to much grip pressure, you're hanging on to the ball too long.

Thanks for the question. Bowl better.
