Loose wrists and how it is turning me into the guitarist I don’t want to be

    I have recently started playing guitar with my wrist being very loose after a period of playing very tight ( I am starting to forget what was normal so I am going through waves of finding getting it back) and this has caused me to be able to play faster and with 0 pain but I dislike it quite a lot as although I can play riffs I couldn’t before, for me, the emotion is gone , I can’t seem to dig the pick in when playing and put power into my playing and it is someting that is necessary when playing for me as I take lots of inspiration from breakdowns and Rammstein. I am glad I don’t tense up but I feel I need to at points and it just isnt happening. Any advice on gear such as picks or technique eould be greatly appreciated as always?
