is it hard to use without the wrist brace

It is a bit difficult to use without the brace with the stronger bands. The bands do break in and get easier to use. If you plan on using the stronger bands I do recommend the wrist brace. The wrist brace is quite cheap and we'll worth it when using the stronger bands.

It be honest it's easier if you save your money and make one out of a cheaper brand

This slingshot is made for hunting and the tension is high on the bands. It takes a significant effort to draw this back and for many who are not regular archers or used to using this set of upper muscles, I can see how it would be a challenge to you. The wrist brace helps because you also need a strong wrist and the brace relieves the pressure from the wrist joint onto the forearm.

It's not actually that odd of a response. It would depend on your flexibility. I was able to get the brace on easily on my own, but I'm still fairly limber. If you are stiff or not very flexible you're going to need a little help getting it on. You'll have to decide that on your own. It is a very good brace and I'm not sure I've seen a better one advertised.

Your wrist and hand rests in the splint and is locked into the position dictated by this splint with a softer adjustable structure. This is a sound concept and is used in a similar but more extended structure when a broken wrist needs to heal.

The splint is designed to be used with either hand. There are 2 thumb holes, one on each side. I thought that would be a problem, but it was not. After about 3 months of sleeping with it, I no longer needed it. I'm keeping it handy though.

It is fairly easy to use the mouse, but not so easy to type. Instead, I would recommend another brace designed to prevent carpal tunnel. There is a stiff piece on the back of the hand, but a "beanbag" like pad at the wrist where it rests on the desk or computer. It is made by Imak and is called SmartGlove. I always use this glove when at the computer.

You Absolutely can. You can also keep one in the freezer and wear one if you have two. When my wrist was broken, the ice cold one felt better. I play computer games and I type a lot and the Gel wrist wrap did not interfere. Good luck.

I have arthritis in my wrist and can use it with no difficulty. If you can hold the jar with one hand & push the handle of the opener with the heel of your other hand, it shouldn't have to involve your thumb on that hand. My concern would be the thumb of the hand with which you are holding the jar. We find it to be a very helpful tool.

If you have a wrist injury I would not recommend using this until it's healed. I'm a tennis player and had a RSI injury and this only aggravated it.

I never understood the wrist part. I use these for my neck and shoulder. They are great.

Yes, I can write with this wrist support. That's actually why I bought it - I have a more inhibiting brace that I wear to workout in & anything else that really strains my wrist, then I wear this most of the day at work when typing and writing.

It does for me. I had a broken in two places wrist on my dominant hand - and am kind of spastic with my other hand so yeah.. it's rough for some of us.

I can definitely relate to that type of pain. Yes, this will be of some help. It's also smaller compared to a regular wrist brace and I even forget I'm wearing it at times. Hope this helps! !

no, it is not difficult to breathe while wearing the brace. If you have it pulled real tight it might be uncomfortable when sitting but just relax it a little then. It is a very nice brace, I love mine.

there is a piece of flexible fabric in back, but not a splint. You would not need a splint (plastic) along back, as you would not fall on the back of your hands (and if you do no piece of plastic is going to prevent a broken wrist).

No, there is a wrist rope to hold it around your wrist instead of holding it in your hand.

It will not do away with the discomfort but it will make it less painful for you to do the poses that require pressure and swinging over the wrists like downward dog, chaturanga, and backward bends. I had a similar problem and they were a tremendous help.

I have mild carpel tunnel syndrome. As long as you allow for natural rotation and keep a firm grip you should have no problems. Highly recommended for hose with vulnerable wrist issues unless you have injured them before.
