How to Choose A Bowling Wrist Brace

Bowling is a tricky sport. Not only are there a variety of skills to learn, but you also need to have the proper equipment in order to be a successful bowler. For many bowlers, a proper wrist brace is a key part of their success. When bowling, your wrist needs to be properly supported so that your hand and wrist are in the right position when the ball is released. The more control you have over the ball, the more pins you're likely to knock down. Wearing a bowling wrist brace can help you go from an average bowler to a true competitor.

      Choose a bowling wrist brace that supports your hand, wrist, and forearm. That means the brace should wrap around your forearm and extend past your wrist to your hand. This type of brace will give you the amount of support you need to create the proper hand and wrist position for bowling.

      Purchase a bowling wrist brace that is properly angled. The hand portion of the brace should be connected to the wrist portion at an angle so that your hand and wrist will maintain that angle when the bowling ball is released. This will protect your wrist from injury and give you more control over the bowling ball.
