Abstract
This invention provides a bowler's wrist support that includes a flexible body adapted to be wrapped around the hand and wrist with straps to hold it in position. A rigid reinforcement may be included to prevent bending of the wrist. The body includes a pocket within which fits a pad which is positioned at the palm of the hand when the device is worn. The pocket is larger than the pad, so that the pad may be moved around to the optimum position. The contour of the pad follows the shape of the hand so as to not interfere with movement of the hand or to cause discomfort.
