My wrists are pretty bad too. It's more or less my forearms that are my body's weakest link. (e.g. I've gone from dumbbell bench pressing 25-pounders to 50-pounders, but it's my forearms that are giving out first.)
I've improved the strength in my grip and in my forearms generally with these:
Dumbbell Wrist Curl
Dumbbell Reverse Wrist Curl
Dumbbell Seated Pronation
Dumbbell Seated Supination
I like to supplement my routine with these exercises at least once a week. Give them a try.
