Webz59 82 #103 Posted October 29, 2017 Is it more, less, or the same stability as athletic tape? Sent from carrier pigeon using MyGolfSpy better than tape! Designed by an orthopedic specialist. Basically a simple brace that stabilizes the ulna bone so that the entire wrist is supported. I had bad wrist pain that I couldn't put pressure on it. Put this brace on and amazed how I could use my wrist pain free. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Went to there website and did the weight bearing test with and without tape - looks like I am the perfect candidate for one of these! Placed my order from Amazon and it should be here Tuesday. Thank you for posting it! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placed my order from Amazon and it should be here Tuesday. Thank you for posting it! The brace is so simple, but boy does it help! And it doesn't interfere at all with your golf grip or swing. Just stabilizes wrist and almost eliminates the pain. Let me know how you like it! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony@CIC 10,109 #106 Posted October 29, 2017 So on a related topic - braces for body parts - do the copper weave products work? I've seen them in socks, elbow braces, etc. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GolfSpy STUDque 9,782 #110 Posted October 29, 2017 Aren't the copper sleeves just for compression? Compression in and of itself is great for ailments. Magnetism aside, I'd guess the copper adds stability which would help even more. If the above statements are true, then the copper sleeves would definitely help some but not all types of pain.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy The copper does help some people but not “bone on boneâ€. When my knees really bother me I use a support knee brace which does stabilize my knee better but limits mobility. I'll get the replacement one of these days but I'm in no rush. My family has a history of replacement problems and I don't want to contthr family tradition. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My family has a history of replacement problems and I don't want to contthr family tradition. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I wore a knee brace for several years before I had my replacement. It helped. However, the surgeon said that if I had waited one more year, he would have had to do a bone graft. The knee feels great now; I should have done it 5 years ago. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The knee feels great now; I should have done it 5 years ago.I had the supartz (5 shots) directly into the knee and adds a cushion between the bone on bone. It has helped tremendously.

GolfSpy STUDque 9,782 #114 Posted October 30, 2017 Well I've got the wrist widget in my cart. Waiting till I finalize the rest of what I need before ordering. I've never had wrist pain before and hope it never comes back but I'm only getting older so it wouldn't hurt to have one of these in the bag just in case (plus I could use it right now) Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBT 1,684 #117 Posted October 30, 2017 Looks like I might be sidelined for awhile.....got an MRI scheduled for a possible torn rotator cuff on my right shoulder. It's not completely debilitating at this point, I can still swing a club but I'm sore the next day or so. I will have to wait and see what happens. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBT 1,684 #119 Posted October 30, 2017 I'm getting old I guess...LOL Doc, thinks that years of baseball, softball and golf have just caught up to me. Hey said that if it's not too bad they may just try to treat it with injections, but it could mean surgery and no golf for several months 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
