Wrist Support — Tendonitis & Strain Relief

I'm an electrician. It got to a point where holding the drill overhead for more than a minute meant switching arms and it became very annoying very quickly, and jobs that should take a day were taking a day and a half. The vibration from the drill would cause one of the most uncomfortable feelings around my elbow. like I genuinely could not use any drill except for a 12v pocket driver. With the compression from this thing the vibration doesn't rattle the arm anywhere near as bad. it feels like the vibration gets absorbed better and i can continue with what I'm doing.

Me and my dad have played the same Saturday round for going on ten years. This spring he started finding reasons to skip it, weather, his back, the course being busy. Took me a month to get it out of him but it was actually his golfers elbow, and that his driver was the problem. He could putt all day, but a full swing off the tee had him wincing and he'd rather cancel than play badly in front of me. Bought him this and told him it was so I could keep taking his money on the back nine lol. He's not missed a Saturday since June. Last week he asked me to order one for his mate Barry. That's how I know he's happy with it, he doesn't recommend anything.

I sold my company and retired at 50, and the honest truth is that when you retire that early you have no kids at home and no job to go to, so the days get very long. Pickleball turned into a full obsession because I finally had something to pour all that time into, and within a couple of months I was playing five days a week across two leagues and taking it as seriously as I used to take work. Then a deep ache started on the outside of my elbow, and the best way I can describe it is that it feels like hitting your funny bone except the feeling never fades, and every backhand was sending a jolt down my forearm. I was told to rest it for a few months, and I tried that for two weeks, but sitting at home doing nothing was the worst part of my whole retirement so far. I have been active my entire life and those two weeks scared me, because I realized that if this elbow thing didn't settle down, sitting around was going to be the whole retirement. This brace is the reason that didn't happen. I never missed a league night after it arrived, and I'm still playing five days a week now with no plans of slowing down.

I have fairly persistent elbow tendonitis, but it seems to stay at the level of minor discomfort unless I aggravate it. I've also eliminated the lifts that cause me pain (chins, any triceps isolation, and very heavy bench), which has seemed to work reasonably well, however it just wasn't enough. I kinda lost all motivation to work out and stay fit. I'm pretty glad I bought one of these. Cause I at least can workout to a pretty good extent without wincing and my well-being is better also.
