Hi,
I have been trying to use a laid-back wrist on my forehand. I am keeping the wrist laid-back through impact and not hitting a wristy forehand. I find the laid-back wrist results in a much more powerful forehand. However, it seems to cause muscle sore-ness in the forearm area.
Is it reasonable to assume the muscle soreness is due to the laid-back wrist ? I've not changed anything else in my stroke mechanics. I usually play about 5 days/week so its not sore-ness due to playing infrequently. If I do not use a laid-back wrist, I do not get this sore-ness in the forearm.
The thing that's got me worried is whether this sore-ness in the forearm can lead to tennis elbow ? Is the use of a laid-back wrist on the forehand going to increase the risk of tennis elbow ?
Is it a good thing to use a laid back wrist on the forehand ???
Thanks for all your replies !!
