From <http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/12/6/6188> "Do not let go of the remote during game play. For example, in a game like Wii Sports bowling, the ball is thrown by simply releasing the B button on the remote, not by letting go of the remote! Hold the remote securely and avoid excessive motion during game play. If your hands become moist, stop and dry your hands. Excessive motion may cause you to let go of the remote and may break the wrist strap. " You really don't want the Wii remote to impact that big telly at high velocity. -Mike
