Little Kids hurt by Flipper
No this isn't the Dolphin up to no good. It concerns the Wrist Spin variation 'The Flipper' where the ball is squeezed between the thumb and the fingers. YouTube - Clarrie Grimmett Flipper Wrist spin bowling A Several sources that we've come across (Books) over on the wrist spin bowling thread suggest that youngsters shouldn't attempt to learn the Flipper because it exerts a lot of strain on the wrist and arm ligaments. Can anyone be more precise about this and maybe offer some guidance as to what age maybe kids can start to practice the flipper intensively? My own personal experience is that your thumbs joints can suffer, but this maybe down to my age?
