wristed
Possessing arm joints
Wristed describes something done with a particular wrist action or having a particular kind of wrist.
It almost always appears with a modifier: a strong-wristed tennis player, a limp-wristed wave.
Limp-wristed often carries disparaging connotations suggesting effeminacy or weakness.
The word also describes shots or movements executed primarily with wrist motion: He wristed the puck past the goalie.
