Hi all Just managed to do the corkscrew move following this youtube instruction video http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-do-the-corkscrew-pole-dance-move-247634/. Love it! But... I get a friction burn on my right wrist. Must be because I'm gripping too hard and not letting the grip rotate with the move. Any good tips?

My inner wrists get burned a good bit when I practice - they do toughen a little with time, but if they're tender or a certain spin really gets them I wear little wristbands (like tennis players). It acts as a nice buffer - hope that helps!
Yes I would recommend wrist bands if its really really painful, they'll certainly help with the burn. This move gave me wrist burn in the start too but it doesnt really do that to me now that Im used to it.
wrist bands saved me! They have some right at walmart for like 3.00. Or I will use a leg warmer but fold it over once so it is not as long. This way it protects my arm from elbow down. Also leg warmers helped me with some spins. I am still working on stregnth in my wrist but it has gotten way better.
actually, her grip is too high in the vid for a proper corkscrew.. check out the difference in MY grip for the corkscrew in this vid.. at 2:20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8PLPi0M8bM
I don't do my corkscrew like that either (like in that video). I do like like redke, with the inside arm lower, and the outside arm on top- same position as if you were to do basic invert. The tutorial video shows the arms in opposite position & i found that to hurt my upper arm as well as my wrist!
Thanks all, that youtube video was really helpful. Will definitely come back to it to learn more moves! Yeah putting hands in invert position would make more sense, and avoid any nasty burns. Thanks again 🙂 Much appreciated. Will get some shorts on and get down to business right away.
