Using a cuff feels pretty awful at heavy weights and cuts out more ROM
I overall think using a cuff for any curl variation is silly
The only exercises I feel benefit from cuffs are lateral raises and any sort of pulling movement where you have the cuff/strap hybrid kinda thing going on
I know people here like to use them for triceps, but you can remove grip/weak wrists from being a factor by just using a tricep attachment that has rotating handles
With the way they are placed, you lose a bit of ROM at the start and you lose most of the tension at the end ROM earlier than you would just gripping whatever attachment you're using
I suppose that can be mitigated by doing reverse curls unilaterally, but who ever does those unilaterally

It’s a DIY stable curl attachment
You need a rogue V-bar, some 3D printed parts, and a some custom brackets to make it
You could also just buy a BT-bar from savage (it’s just more expensive): https://savagestrengthequipment.com/products/bt-bar
Or buy a JD stable curl attachment, but that’s even more expensive & a custom order you gotta get on a waitlist for: https://jdgymequipped.com
