OKay so I hurt my ankle(they were weak to begin with) so I looked at supprts while I was at Osco and came upon 3 models and am just wondering what would be the best since all the packages were fairly poor in describing their product.



So heres the 3 basic models I found (manufacturer may vary)

So which of the above type products would be recommend or is there something else?

Shoe selection is very important for what course you play.  Concrete teepads Vs. Dirt...I have to wear different shoes so that my foot will pivot when I plant my foot.  I have shoes that grip too much on concrete and that is no good for my ankle and knee.  Courses with elevation, heavy backbacking boots have excellent support.

I'm not a big fan of supports, only as a last resort.  1st off, your not going to strenghten it with a support on.   If it is hurting too bad, don't play on it...give it some R.I.C.E.
Let us hope that the whores of evil no longer loiter on the doorsteps of your path beckoning you into the brothel of despair, and that here and after may present them with the most rigid manistfestation of a firm and manly will.

Ahh a fellow wrestler...



Have you ever tried throwing with it on? I was leaning toward that one it looked like it had more support, but I'm worried about it being to "stiff". Last thing I need to do is really hurt myself when I try to spin off the remaing energy when driving.

I have one similar to the 2nd one you have linked.  It works great!  I got it in highschool, I had spraned my ankle in wrestling.  It is still in good shape.

You can decide just how tight it is, by lacecing it up tight or loose.
