there is an old expression among old potters:

`if you are having trouble throwing, you either have had
a bad teacher, you have stone fingers, or you have to get
to work and make 25,000 pots.`
decide what to do.

weak wrists.

it is an old football trick for centers..that is what i did.
always wrapped a few turns of athletic tape around them
when going to do rough duty.

on several occasions when i have had sore wrists, or when
i sprained one...just wrap some athletic tape around them. go to work/
rip it off when you are done.
