The collapsed left wrist, or "Pancake Wrist", is perhaps the single biggest positioning problem facing young violin students, as any teacher knows. The Wrist Rascal is the solution! Attaches as easily to the violin as a shoulder rest, using a simple elastic band. The Wrist Rascal gently trains the left wrist to stay in the proper position by mimicking the feel of the hand against the heel, as in third position, where a collapsed wrist is impossible. After just a few weeks' use, muscle memory takes hold, and the left hand is trained. And it double as the most effective support for training of vibrato. The large size is for 4/4 or 3/4 size violins, the medium for 1/2 and 1/4 size violins, and the small for 1/8 size or smaller violins. Made in the USA. "Wrist Rascals are a fantastic tool for developing proper hand position, perhaps the single most crucial element of a solid left-hand technique. Highly recommended!" - James Ehnes, Concert Violinist

The solution: a teacher’s review
I’m a violin teacher and love this thing. [The one flaw is it may slip off. Use a big rubber band.]

Great investment
This was awesome at training my daughter to keep her wrist out. She only had to use it for about a month.

I just can't seem to get it to keep people's wrist in the right place with this. It just does not work. It just doesn't stick out far enough for their wrist to touch this item. I am a violin teacher. I am just not impressed with this.

This product is easy to use and effective for helping with collapsed wrist
This product is easy to use and effective for helping with collapsed wrist, as well as learning vibrato in first position. The first one I ordered was made of a rather scratchy material, and I returned it due to fear it would scratch the violin's surface. Within a few weeks I was contacted by the company and offered a complimentary replacement, this time with a new and improved design and material. Now it is made of hard rubber, and I don't have any concerns about it damaging the instrument. It's a great product, and the effort by the company to reach out and fix my concern was phenomenal.
