hi ya, I always have used a huge bat with a big handel (fellow players call it the Club) at worlds tried to change to a true blue slick flicker, a much much smaller bat. My wrist and hand began to hurt and feel alot of strain. I think the handel size can impact your wrist. I have gone back to my beloved club, but would consider a custom made slick flicker with my usual handel put onto it. I will give you a go with my bat when we play next!
Cheers
