If these were used strictly for wrist use, what are the pros and cons?

They are a little bigger than what i thought so they dont stay on that well unless you take a rag and stuff it around your wrist to make ytour wrist thicker personally i recommend using these more fore ankles but they do work on wrists its up to you. i do use them for both and havnt had any promblems.

You really have to wrap them tight for them to stay where you want them and that can get uncomfortable. I mostly use mine on my ankles bun enjoy them none the less.

I think they would be far too bulky and uncomfortable for that use, perhaps if you were just going to sit in a chair and use them, than okay, but certainly not if you are planning on doing anything. I could not use these on my wrists if I wanted to, they were bulky for my ankles I cannot imagine using them in that fashion, but again, it would depend on how how big your wrist is.

I do not see it affecting your throwing one bit. If anything would probably help causebitbdoes govebsome added support. But without limiting your hand like those wrist braces you get from the doctor.... I'm sure you can use these and still throw a ball fine. I see in baseball done pitchers have a similar thing on their wrists.

No they would be for strengthening your biceps and shoulders. Gradual increases in bar bell weights and flexing your wrists forward, rotating, and backward would be the best way to build wrist strength.

I don't feel that they slip much and they don't cover a substantial part of your wrist, so I would think it should work. I love these gloves! I want to get some heavier ones now.

Depends on what "normal wear" is -- For me, I only use them while at work or while doing work. But not while working out. I don't throw them around so I can't comment on if they can take a beating -- but from my normal usage of wearing them while working and hanging them over my monitor when I'm done... they look like they'll last a very very long time. The form factor is well made and feels solid in the hand.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

I was prescribed wrist supports to wear at night to keep my wrists straight. I hadn't realized curling my wrists at night (sleeping like a cat) was giving me wrist pain during the day. No, they won't keep your from clenching your fists if that's what you mean.

You could probably hold them in your hands and work your wrists, but I am not sure it would be better than a small free weight.

I dont know...I use it to keep my wrists from folding down - if I dont wear them at night my wrists fold down and I wake up with very sore hands. Dr recommended them to avoid carpal tunnel surgery.

ladybugroove, my experience is similar to Gerry Mullen's. They have provided me with excellent wrist protection from abrasion. Conjecture on my part, but I would expect that the protection from thumb hyper-extension is limited to the tensile strength of the leather. They leave a substantial minority of my fingers exposed to impact and abrasion as well. That said, I would buy these again. They have done a superb job of protecting my wrists.

Yes, I would think so. I have a small wrist and at times they are cumbersome, bulky. Good luck.

yes you can, obviously not as responsive without the plastic on. but if you're working out anyway... there wont be much clicking.

Sorry, I'm Not A Gamer, But I Wear These Braces At My Job And Can Tell You They Don't Impede My Wrist Movement At All. Hope This Helps.

I had ordered these and my therapist tried to get them tighter because my wrists also small and we could not. If not tight enough they kept slidding. If you are just going to use them as weights to strength the arms they are ok, but if you are wearing them for a workout ass running an such, I would say no.

Padding inside the wrist works best for me! You can try both, but i think padding inside the wrist the way most people wear it

Not at all... Just straight forward wrist position, it is a good keyboard but not as far as ergonomics are concerned...

I only use them at night and on my right hand, where I have some arthritis. That doesn't mean the left hand glove is useless. I just turn it inside out, and: voila!, it is for my right hand also.
