Answer 1

Hey that will work fine, yes. You can also do wrist curls and flexors with free weights as stated above. Also for lacrosse we had to do pronations with weights. My bro raced pro motocross and had to work his wrists to prevent "arm pump" on the throttle. He used a WristRipper like this one:

Here are some wrist exercise diagrams that are easy:
