Wrist supports I can wear while playing

[RussUK]

Having trouble with my left wrist again, bit of strain that im sure many of us golfers get. As is the case with being a dad, as soon as the wrist starts feeling better, i pick up my youngest and strain it again.

Im now looking for a wrist support. I have use the wrist wraps in the past with the thumb holes but found them uncomfortable around the thumb so have been looking at the ones that literally just go round the wrist. I intend to use it when recovered to support and limit further injury (Im falling apart guys, right knee always strapped up when playing!).

Does anyone use/have used something like the below while playing?

If you have a strain or sprain, I wouldn't play. Take the time off and get that healed up. It can't be good to try to play while injured. I would bet you are more likely re-injure if you keep playing, even with a brace.

Not playing at the moment. Just want something to give me a little more support after its healed.

Wrist strains are tricky. Especially if the strain is around the hamate bone (the ball thing below the picky side of your wrist) If you have severe pain at that spot, i just wouldnt play and let it heal like what saevel25 said. 

But if you really have to play, (club championship or something) I've found combinations of althetic and KT tape useful. Check the web for wraps. They dont inhibit the swing as much as hard braces do, IMO.  Make sure you shave if you're a hairy beast.

Strain is fairly mild, more niggly then anything else. No golf till its fully healed (maybe putting only), bought a finburst wrist wrap that quite a few golfers gave good reviews on so will wear that when the wrist is better enough to get back out to protect it.

I’ve played in a wrist brace on my lead arm. The kind that has a thumb hole is better.

I fight a little tendonitis and a bit or arthritis in my left wrist so I play 90% of my golf with a wrist wrap. I have several different ones, but they are all similar to the picture you shared above. I am with you I cannot do the thumb hole, too restrictive and uncomfortable. Just wrapping it tightly with athletic tape works as well. Make sure to shave your wrist first if you do that or OUCH when you take it off.

a friend of mine had the same problem and went to a chiropractor. felt it and said you probably could be fixed up with acupuncture.  so he got the acupuncture done and WOW, all gone.

I say try some acupuncture, nothing to lose, only gain.
