It's crazy that you put so much time to these videos. That's why I enjoy them so much

[@feverdream2661]

Oh yea sooooo much time put into this video. It must of been such a long process to throw 2 balls with each wrist support smh

now lets be fair about the storm power gloves ,i have osteoarthritis in my knuckles on my bowling hand and have a hard time gripping the ball. the glove and the pads have helped me keep bowling

[@nyx-mw]

I've been using a Robby's rev brace primarily because it keeps my wrist from breaking because poor wrist strength (Or carpal tunnel, i'm not sure which). I can't keep my hand behind the ball without serious pain otherwise. It does give me more revs, simply because it helps get my thumb out first, but i throw a few shots every now and then without it to test my wrist, and i can mostly replicate that now.

[@TraumaER]

[@NOOBandBRO]

I liked the basic wrist support. I have been struggling sometimes with sore wrists when i really focus on a straight wrist, this could help! the fancier they got the less i think they are good for overall improvement though..

[@jimyokomizo8083]

For someone whose tried everything you demonstrated and didn't really like them, it definitely was entertaining to watch!

[@edcnoyb3782]

😃 Agree I have tried products similar 2 all 3 of those. At this point I would say all 3 are worthless for me. The 3rd device although I never used that particular one. I still have 2 that are very similar they have all the same little dials, and knobs. Makes all the same posting adjustments. So its the same thing. I used it off and on for several years. Eventually though I stopped using them for good around 2009. Unlike the first 2 products I would say the 3rd can be useful for a beginner. At least if you plan on being a traditional 1 handed thumb in the ball bowler. No thumb or 2 handed forget it. Although it looks cool on your bowling arm, might good if you need to break glass.😃 Anyway assuming the bowler is one hand thumb in the ball. It is useful for a beginner, and maybe if you have an old injury to your bowling arm and hand. I would despute though that any of those products actually increase the bowlers rev rate. I actually gave up on those things because they were actually after time becamd a hindernce to my rev rate. The thing about rev rate its a little miss leading. You need a rev rate that will actually compliment your ball speed. If you are only throwing the ball slow 10-12 mph like me and your rev rate is 200 rpm for example mine is probably around that. You are still rev dominate. So those big metal wrist devices especially are a hindrance. Rather then trying to Increase the rev rate in that case the bowler. Most likely probably a SR bowler. Im not that old yet. I have physical issues that keep my ball speed slower. Anyway my point in those cases the bowler is better off studying up on drilling patterns, surface preo, and just ball selection in general. The same though would hold true if you are speed dominate. your selection of equipment, drill patterns, and surface prep. Still are more important than your actual rev rate. Higher ball speed doesn't always equal a higher rev rate. Like I said though your rev rate needs to compliment your ball speed, and vice versa. People just get caught up in the rev rate thing. Because they see guys like Belmo avrraging a rev rate over 500 with two hands, and the Freaks of nature like Tacket that can also hit over 500 RPM with one hand and his thumb in the ball. Anyway unfortunately although I found the video entertaing. None of those products are going to give you the rev rate of Belmo or EJ. The only thing I actually wear on my bowling wrist now is actually a weight lifters wirst wrap. No metal in it at all. I have full movement of my bowling hand and wrist. The only thing it actually does for my bowling game is prevent injury. Putting the wrist wrap on is easier for me then using KT tape to tape my wrist every time I bowl. Also cheaper. I don't need to keep buying more KT tape all the the time. Sorry for rambling. You are right the video was funny. The products though at least for me are completely useless.💩💩

[@jeremygreene994]

@tvbowlingsupply I use the storm c4 brace and with having a weak wrist it has helped me out tremendously bowling. But now that you say something I didn’t think about, I’ve tried getting my pitches checked and changed, thumb size etc and still having trouble occasionally losing the ball off my hand. I think I need to ask my pso to fit me with my brace on with my three new bowling balls I just got. Harsh reality, attention star, and absolute power before getting them drilled to see if it makes a difference. Thanks man idk why I didn’t think of that to see if that might be the issue! Love the videos!

[@p2card]

I’m an older bowler that relies on devices like these to continue to enjoy this sport that I love. I live about 20 minutes from your shop and would consider giving you my business if you could demonstrate some, any, affinity for the average bowler and learn how these products work and the proper way to use them.

[@tvbowlingsupply]

[@jp_spareparts]

I actually recently got the Storm Xtra grip glove without the wrist support and its great. Basically just some rubber on the palm and finger tips to help you grip and rip. Even as a two handed bowler i noticed my rev rate go up a lot. Not a fan of the ones with metal supports that hold your hand in place. My dad still uses one though and he swears by it. Great vid thanks for the upload!

[@tnjrcfl1]

Great stuff man

[@mrcbud7765]

What's a good wrist support? Had surgery on my hand and my wrist is weaker and causing me some issues I've moved to my index and middle finger due to the surgery... I think I might just wrap it 😅😅

[@radicalfury710]

entertaining and informative of wrist supports, my best ever decision was removing it a decade ago

[@tnjrcfl1]

Idea for use, training applications for having feel of where wrist should be while going up the back etc. I used it when injured to not flex backwards and found it useful for"fixing" positions during practices. Can't get shit on the ball when using it so don't use it for games but as tool for practice it was some help

[@iras4vols1]

The self clapping device had me dead!

[@fishgutz4272]

Liz Johnson is a low rev bowler. I used the C4 for a couple years. Stopped using it when me moved. The lanes in this area are pretty dry. Without the brace I have more variable control.

[@jfabritz]

Using one of those is how I jacked up the tendons in my hand because my span was totally overstretched.

Yep😅

[@MrRoss3291]

I use a Pete Weber like Strike force glove that's more or less and NFL receiver glove but not for revs since I'm 1 hand thumbless it is only for the calluses on my index and pinky fingers from my release

[@chungchu5426]

where can i get the shoes mike is wearing? its the F1 dial version

[@BBBYpsi]

I have a weak wrist now that i'm older and have problems with it. Just started bowling again after 20 year layoff. Where I was not even able to walk. 10 weeks into a 15-week league wrist really hurts & only at 181 average, but I've been slowing climbing each week. Could that last one help my wrist problem is the question? Just subscribed with notifications

[@tvbowlingsupply]

I would recommend you checking your fit first!

[@greggas1]

Power Plus: 514 RPM (I've seen you throw higher, so no improvement) SportCast 2: 450 RPM (but you were wearing it wrong😂) C2 (full cup): 424 RPM C2 (part cup): 436 RPM

[@SgtPhroste]

Greg coming in clutch for the rev check as always!

[@SgtPhroste]

pretty sure that second one needed to come down one more level to have more on the are vs 90% on the hand 😂

[@jusdesireable3224]

I gave up on wrist supports when I realized when I wanted to manipulate my hand positions I couldn't do it. Best decision made cause I've seen alot of bowlers struggle when their guards break or they can't adjust it to how they want.

[@expnbowlingmatchplay]

Oh snap there goes the neighborhood🤣

[@Atochabsh]

FIrst thing you do with that storm glove (the first one) is remove the bar on the top and bend it to your comfort. Mine is bent about to the curvature of a bowling ball. It helps remind me to keep my wrist straight and/or cupped. These supports might not help you, but they do help many, especially women who are throwing heavier weight bowling balls.

[@TheVlad1616]

Exactly. I don’t use them, but they aren’t going to “increase rev rate” for someone with proper technique already. They’re designed for those that don’t keep their wrist straight to give them consistent release position.

[@virgo7492]

Mike is ready to start bowling league

[@Spidergoat44]

Considered getting one of these because I'm in a weird spot - no thumb one hander (think Tom Daugherty), but I broke my wrist twice a couple of years ago and I simply can't do it any more because I can't hold the ball securely enough to get a large backswing, and putting my thumb in the ball makes it so hard for me to not bend my wrist backwards at the bottom that I can't hook it at all

[@yankeesrule587]

i have a surgically repaired wrist , shattered my distal radius in 3 pieces in 2018, never thought id bowl again. But i did, and my most recent brace the C4 has been a game changer. I started league this season with a 130 avg , its currently at a 155 and rising. It helps me immensely

[@grillmaster95]

Honestly, I would look into throwing 2 handed and see if having the other hand on it provides enough support to continue bowling

[@williammurphy5520]

They give consistency to the people who don’t bowl alot

[@jeffs7773]

I hope you can wrap that stuff back up and sell it now that it’s used

[@hoth3875]

Don't ya just love when the front desk person puts the only other bowlers in the alley right next to you?? Like bruh there were so many open lanes to the left and right and they sat a whole ass family next to you 🤣 I imagine there were likely reservations, or a league or something preventing them from handing out other lanes, but still, that shit just makes me laugh.

[@aaronwaterman6982]

I have broken my wrist twice and it never was the same again..im in my mid 50s that storm glove is about the only way I can still bowl...I would say those devices are for people like me with destroyed arms

I used to use one when i was younger. Then i realized it was hurting me more than it was helping. The brace didnt let my body strengthen and it actually made my wrist weaker. Since i began to depend on it. Ill never reccomend one to anybody. Even if you deal with pain or whatever. Use a lighter ball

[@yankeesrule587]

[@odellus]

...why would a mechanical aid be allowed in professional competition? this is the closest thing to a belly putter equivalent bowling has.

[@melodicchronic5181]

@odellus i wouldn't think it provides any major mechanical advantage, it's just meant to lower the possibility of excessive strain. Even Michael was saying he didn't think it increased revs. I just find it interesting.

[@johnnyrock852]

I think you only put the middle fingers under strap of second device.

[@expnbowlingmatchplay]

Im so wrong for that one.

[@KrazeeKubano0611]

Why did they put that loud family next to you

[@SubZero0127]

I counted 600 rpm on the first shot

[@Doza418]

No offense to anyone who uses it, but from my personal experience, it ruined what I thought was a pretty decent release motion I had. I thought I could improve on my game even more, but instead, it just made it worse. Then, while going back to a non-wrister, that was a task. My wrist kept collapsing and was in need of some strength training. So my 2 cents is, unless you need to support your wrist for some physical reason, try not to use it unless you are really keen on the way it feels and the results you are getting.

[@gpretired2846]

Change the title of this video to “How NOT to review products”! How can you be objective when you don’t read the instructions, or wear the product correctly? And if you’re not going to measure your rev rate before and during the use of each product, then you can’t say if they increase it or not. Very disappointing, as some of us who are older, or have some kind of physical limitations, might get some benefit from one of these products.
