Around 7-8 months ago i broke my left wrist. 5 months ago i began shows again
lately though i have been doing more practice on my pad and holding speeds at around 200bpm is fine
But bringing back to 160-170 bpm i have trouble with my left wrist.

it seems to either want to speed up or just die
also it seems to slide up the stick more

Any pointers, tips, exercises i can do regain strength and control?
thanks guys! :thumb:

Practice slower.

Speed comes from control. And control is something practiced and formed through intentional controlled movement.

Here it comes... grab the book StickControl, and start going through it at slow tempos, EG less then 75.
It hurts, is fustrating, makes your arms shake and bores you at first.. then after a bit you realize your hands are getting smoother and more evend out. Then it becomes more fun.
