4.     WrisTrainer  by Odyssey Solutions   $34.95

The WrisTRAINER was created out of a need to improve consistency off the tee. Many golfers may also notice pain in the leading wrist joint after countless rounds on the links. A visit to a leading hand and wrist institute inspired the design of the WrisTRAINER, after it was learned that hyper flexing of the wrist can result in fluid sack becoming herniated, causing a condition known as a Ganglion Cyst. This causes a lot of wrist pain and will impair wrists from normal, comfortable movement. This is highly detrimental to any golfer’s swing, and overall joint health.

The WrisTRAINER addresses the wrist motion problem without causing additional pain for the wearer. Its design makes it comfortable for golfers of all skill levels to wear and can help any golfer reduce wrist stress and improve shot accuracy. Analysis of wrist and lower forearm mechanics, including the ideal swing shape and arc, led to the conclusion that a device worn on the top or back side of the hand and forearm would be the most effective and comfortable.
