my wrist hurts and im using the eastern forehand !

i use a eastern forehand and I was trying the modern swing (windshield wiper swing). Now the right side of my wrist hurts. Is the eastern forehand grip a bad grip for the windshield wiper stroke? I think I may without knowing used my wrist instead of using my forearm to swing the windshield wiper stroke?

Any thoughts please?

When i use an eastern grip, i hit straight through the ball instead of using the windshield wiper swing. No wrist problems.

if you are leading with your elbow and forearm, a lot of times you just end up yanking your arm through the swing with your shoulder and elbow and all the stress will end up in your wrist with the WW followthrough. you have to make sure you are keeping your wrist firm and not allowing it to buckle sideways during the swing. i had the same problem when i tried to do a WW finish, i just gave up on that and finish over my shoulder now. it works better for me.

Yea I think im going to do the same. I can compete with everyone in my league with the traditional swing so I guess I don't need that ww swing
Oh well..
thanks for your time..
