Hand Strain

[RalphJ]

Anyone ever strain their hitting hand? When I hit a forehand or forehand volley, the racquet pushes the my index finger and knuckle back and its strained my hand. I'm trying wraps right now, but its frustrating for sure.

Not really, although at times it feels a tad sore...Always have to remember not to tighten my grip, except at impact (and sometimes that needs using clean, new overgrips).

Are you sure you are playing with a heavy enough racquet?
Also natural gut and shock absorbing materials in the frames might help.

Every now and then I will contact a forehand that hits the bone on the palm of my hand just right... it will almost knock the wind out of me. No explanation for it, and it will just go away randomly...
