Weakness of the wrist flexors is common. Many, many athletes have weak wrist flexors despite having very strong grips, and this can compromise wrist stability and lead to increased proneness to injury of the wrists.
Weakness of the wrist flexors may also predispose to entrapment of the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel, as the FCU's fascia hardens with muscular dysfunction, as shown by Stecco et al in various papers.
Finally, the flexor carpi muscles, along with the flexor digitorum groups prevent excessive elbow valgus. Elbow valgus can grinding and irritation of the medial joint socket and thus joint deterioration. This is a Golfer's elbow variant.
