wrist problem as in like, pain? maybe like a minor case of TE except on the wrist, if that makes sense. its getting a bit better though. the pain sometimes fluctuates.
also, prior to my usage of the natty gut, i have always used 17g or 16L strings. however, the gut is 16g. Maybe that is a factor as well? i did, indeed, make a racket switch. maybe 3 1/2 months ago, i switched from APDC to a kblade 98. on both rackets, i was doing fine with full poly at 16L or 17g, until i got the gut hybrid.
haha i used to have an extreme western grip when i had the APDC a year ago, with no problems. then i stopped tennis for about 4 months, with the exception of 1-hour weekly lessons. by the end of the 4 months, i went back to the semi-western grip, or the "normal" forehand grip.
LOL you're right actually, Lakers4Life! i used to swing like rafa, not anymore tho. other than that, my strokes never changed much.
scotus- my wrist problem in fact did develop overnight. one day, i played against my friend for a good hour or so. and the next day my wrist felt discomfort. it got worse, then better, and so on.
my old strings were lxn alu smooth. then i got 17g kirsch touch turbo when i got my blade. now, i have the gut/alu rough hybrid.
