Wrist devices are designed to help bowler's keep their wrist immobile throughout the delivery, as well as provide additional lift and ball rotation during the release of the ball [4] . Wrist supports are generally designed for bowlers with weaker wrist and fingers [5] . Furthermore, wrist supports can help prevent some painful injuries. Although there are a variety of wrist devices, traditional wrist support, extended wrist support and wrist glove are just a few.

Traditional wrist support helps keep the bowler's wrist in an "in-line" position as well as provide firm support for a bowler who has a consistent and control roll [4] . Traditional wrist supports comes in either vinyl or leather with an imbedded mental inserted for additional strength.

Extended wrist support has an extended length over the forearm and/or fingers. The wrist support helps keep either the finger or fingers from bending backwards while releasing the ball as well as add lift and rotation on the ball.

Finally, a wrist glove provides support on the bowler's wrist. The surface on the fingers and palms allows the bowler to have additional gripping power on the ball.
