Brunswick Bionic Wrist Positioner- Right Hand

I used to bowl quite extensively when I was younger, and I've gotten back into the game again about half a year ago. A lot has changed over the years, particularly regarding lane conditions and ball performance/design. I use what's known as a "suitcase grip", and I do reasonably well with that, reaching the high 180s to low 200s at times. The key words are "at times". Just a little relaxation of the cupped wrist makes a great deal of difference down the lanes, and as the games start progressing, my wrist starts getting more and more tired . . . and my targeting starts spreading wider, resulting in much lower scores. I hadn't even realized such an item as this existed; I'd simply been looking at various wrist supports and stumbled across this sort of design. Reading the descriptions (not just the Brunswick model, but of as many as I could find) and reviews, I strongly suspected that it would assist me in keeping my wrist properly cupped. I was a bit hesitant on four things, based upon reviews I’d read: ability to grip and hold the ball, difficulty in adjusting the wrist strap, the lengthy time required to adjust to using it, and the lack of sizing instructions for ordering. I’ll address each of those: 1) Ability to grip and hold the ball: Yes, it does feel quite awkward trying to hold and grip, due to the lack of flexibility in fingers, thumb, and wrist. But that’s all it is: awkward, and within three frames I’d already grown used to that. It does require an altered method of inserting fingers and thumb, but, once you’ve done that a few times, you stop even thinking about it. 2) Difficulty in adjusting the wrist strap: Reviewers have commented on the strap securing pin design, stating that it’s difficult to fit into its position, and also that it’s easy to keep falling off the strap. I had no problem at all with mine, and once I had it fitted to my preference, I don’t peel the Velcro strap off, I just give the strap a gentle tug and work the securing pin off the locking positions. 3) The lengthy time required to adjust to using it: For me, by the third frame I was completely comfortable using it. Yes, since it is aluminum (and thus rigid) it does feel confining as heck, and if you consciously focus on that I can see how others might have difficulty adjusting to using it. For me, I wasn’t letting it do all the work; instead, I was mindful of keeping my wrist cupped (like I normally do) but had the assurance that, should my wrist begin to straighten, either accidentally or through fatigue, the wrist positioner was there to assist and support . . . which it absolutely did. 4) Lack of sizing instructions for ordering: This one baffles me; it took less than thirty seconds to Google and find websites that had Brunswick’s sizing instructions for their wrist positioner. I also want to add that the description regarding adjusting it for spare shots is a bit misleading, as it sounds as if you have to keep repositioning the adjustment screw back-and-forth between strike shots and spare shots. That is NOT how it works! All you need to do is flip up the lever housing of the adjustment screw, so that the nut is no longer locked in place. That's it! Then for strike balls you simply lower the lever housing, making sure the adjustment nut is held secure. It doesn't get any easier than that! In closing, while this may not be suitable for everyone (few things are, after all) I can easily say this is probably to best purchase I’ve made regarding improving my bowling average and scores. For the price, it just can’t be beat. So, if you’re looking for a way to stabilize your cupped wrist delivery, I highly endorse the Brunswick Bionic Wrist Positioner.

I haven't bowled a game with it yet, but I know what kind of support I've been looking for and this provides it. I'm 6 feet tall, 200 lbs and I ordered a large - if I was any smaller, it would be too big for me. See my images... Since Brunswick can't be bothered to provide some sizing estimates or measurements, attached are some from me. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

I have used this product's predecessor, the PowrKoil, for several years. I was quite disappointed when Brunswick replaced it with the Bionic. The pictures don't do it justice, though. After trying several other wrist supports, all frustrating failures, I decided to try the Bionic. I was pleasantly surprised when I took it out of the box. If anything, it is BETTER than the PowrKoil. The build is a little sturdier without adding weight and it fits better. The adjustments are the same as the PowrKoil and it doesn't irritate my index finger like the old model did. If you need to replace an existing unit or are looking to try a wrist support for the first time, give the Bionic a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

So far there isn't anything that I don't like about this product. I've never used anything on my wrist before, but my doctor recommended doing so because of my tendonitis and repeated cortisone injections. I reluctantly tried this, and it's actually great. It takes all of the strain off my wrist, it's comfortable, and all I have to do is disengage the latch to throw right-side spares with no hook. My roll is way better, and my revs increased. A lot of people seem to say that it slowed them down, but I actually found that I'm throwing faster because the strain on my wrist was limiting me before. I'm sure this product isn't for everyone, but if you struggle with wrist injuries then I'd give it a shot.

It takes some getting used to after having so many years of bad hand position. I like the fact it is adjustable. It forces me to slow the ball down. I'm a big guy at 6'5". I throw at 19 or 20 mph with out even trying. This grip has forced me to throw in the 14 to 15 range and give the weight block in my ball a chance to do it's job. I am using this with the intent of creating new muscle memory with my wrist and hand. Like anything new it has to be used for a while to create a habit. Don't expect an instant change. It was a good purchase and I'm pleased with the results.

Works like a charm. Make sure you choose the right model between this one and the extended fingertip version. The positioner is solid and the foam on it is soft and supple. Very easy to change up on the fly and makes cupping the ball much easier for those that have weak wrists.

It’s larger around my hand than my other brace. It took awhile to get used to that. I really like the ability to adjust it on the go without having to take it off. It will slow you down and make your shot more accurate. It also helps with your wrist pain. It is comfortable as well. If you’re a seasoned bowler I would recommend this item.

This certainly is a very good wrist support device for bowling. It is very adjustable, and can be "un-adjusted" for when you need to roll a straight ball for a spare, etc. My main gripe is that there is a metal piece that the wrist strap goes through to secure it to the wrist, that constantly wants to pop out while you're trying to put it on. I wish they had designed it in a way that it had a more secure retention for the metal part so that it was quicker and easier to put on before bowling.

I tried using this for a few league games but stopped since my natural shot seems to be coming back after 25 years of not bowling. I've rejoined a weekly fun mixed league that started in early September 2019. I have this in my bag, but for now am not using it. When I did, it certainly does put some hook on the ball and revs. The adjustability is ok but I wish it was a bit easier. Set holes rather than a turn screw type. Is comfortable and wears well. I may go back to it later this season.

Bei mir ist mein Handgelenk etwas zu "instabil". Daher habe ich mir diese Schiene gekauft. Sie verrichtet ihren Dienst gut. Passt genau. Durch die Möglichkeit die Schiene zu verstellen, kann man alles den Bahnverhältnissen gut anpassen. Bin sehr zufrieden.

works great.if you are a measuring a medium. get a large instead. fits smaller for man hands.

LLego antes de lo esperado, ya lo utilice y es genial. Le puedo dar más revoluciones a la bola y mi score aumento bastante !!!!

Ne réponds pas à toutes mes attentes complètement mais satisfaisant
