Sling Blade hurts my wrist
« on: December 09, 2004, 04:50:45 PM »
I purhcased a 13lbs Sling Blade and love the way the ball hook down the lane. Unfortunately, the ball hooks too early at times and my wrist hurts everytime I finish bowling. Anyways suggestion on the problem to eliminate the pain on the wrist and control the hook better?

There are two possibilities.....1.  The span and pitches are wrong.... 2. The ball is too heavy for you.....I have seen this many times but it is probably one of the two issues....

Would a wrist support help to ease the pain on the wrist? I bowl with my friends 13lbs hammer switch blade and my wrist was fine.

Well that means that the span is wrong then.....tell your driller to relax your span by bout 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch....that should get rid of the pain.....
