I have been using a wrist device (Moro ProRelease) for 2 and a half years now, mainly for injury prevention because I had big problems with my hand and tendons.
A big device feels awful at first. My impression, when I initially tried the Moro, was that I was apassneger to my game, losing control of anything. It felt totally remote, and I think that's normal. It took me weeks to get used to it, and to accept it as a preventive measurement if I want to keep up the sport in the future.
Anyway, if you can, try to avoid a wrist support, or try to get by with the lightest/smallest piece possible. Do some wrist training, if wrist strength is the issue, and try out several models. They are all very different, some take care of special demands, and it might only be a small or special help that improves your game into the right direction. Talk with your coach and/or pro shop about the issue at hand, and do not buy blindly a generic piece. BTW, a bigger device does not automatically mean more revs or a better average
Funny thing about my case is that I might have higher revs if I played without the wrist support. I use the ProRelease without the strap that holds the palm in place, so I can freely move my hand. I only use the plate that supports the back of the hand while holding and swinging the ball - upon release I cup my wrist. Without the supoort and a total free hand I'd rather snap my wrist upon release, so I sacrifice some revs for my health - but I do not miss it, I accepted this as the way I am playing or "my game", and that's also what I try to develop further with the option/vision of getting rid of the wrist support one day.
