Weak hand help
« on: October 17, 2012, 10:49:00 PM »
Long story short, due to diabetic neuropathy I was having real issues with a repeatable bow grip.

I had a long discussion with my physical therapist. She checked my hands and made a suggestion.

This is working wonders;

It makes my thumb not put pressure on the side of the grip and forces the same hold each time.

Just an FYI, for those with similar issues.
The older I get, the better I was.

You might be on to something. I always have to remind myself to not put thumb pressure on the handle.

It seems to hold my thumb right in place with no pressure on grip. The brace has 2 plastic stays supporting the thumb.
