I assume my feathered paddle is a contributor to this? Somebody recently posted a wrist brace suggestion. Is it an over-the-counter model, or prescribed? I think the same postor also recommended a change of technique which I can't find. I was young and robust back then and deleted it. Could you please send it to me? As an experiment to find the optimum feather angle for my right hand control *box* stroke, I purchased a cloth covered foam over-the-counter wrist brace. I would not recommend it for long duration use as it digs in to my hand over time. For wrist pain associated w/ paddling, the best thing I ever did was to get rid of my mouse at the office and home. I've used 3 different track-ball systems. My wrist problems I'd associated with paddling went away...
