ABSTRACT:
A wrist and hand support for bowlers, including an elongated cushioned base supporting an elongated laterally or transverseley flexible brace member against the back of the hand and wrist of the bowler, is disclosed. Straps having hook and pile fasteners releasably retain the brace member in position and retains the cushioned base on the bowler's hand and wrist. The brace member includes an elongated sheath having open end pockets for receiving the opposite ends of a plurality of spaced-apart rods arranged in spaced-apart relationship. The rods are rigid and may be arranged in parallel or in angled relationship on the sheath with the separating sheath material forming flexible areas permitting the brace member to flex laterally along its length or about its longitudinal axis as viewed from the end of the brace member. Therefore, the user's hand and wrist are rigidly supported which aids the bowler in delivering a bowling ball down a bowling alley.
