Re: Stengthen wrists

The first thing that comes to mind is a powerball, as it's designed for that purpose. On the other hand, David at Harrowdrive has other thoughts on them, which can be read here (just trying to give you both sides of the story).

Wrist rolling: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/WristExtensors/CBRollerWristExtention.html

Do them palms up AND palms down.

You will need to buy one or better yet build your own- just type homemade wrist roller on google and you will find what you need.

That looks fairly easy to make at home - do you use them?

i do - they are first class for making your wrists and forearms strong and muscular.

I have a Powerball at home, and I find it brilliant for this sort of thing. I don't overdo it, as I don't particularly fancy getting RSI or similar, but as a quick exercise to do for a couple of minutes every day, even while sitting and browsing the net or similar, it's excellent.

I play golf as well so wrists are fairly strong but flexible as well!
