Experimentation will be necessary before finding the best device for your needs. Generally, the longer support structure behind the hand encourages a decisive delivery action.
It is recommended you purchase a wrist liner to wear under the wrist support device if you perspire greatly and have skin which is prone to irritation or chaffing. Wrist Liners are very comfortable to wear and protect your skin when wearing a wrist support device.
Some adjustable devices have removable lining pads which protect your skin and are washable and replaceable.
