What's wrong wif my wrist?

[wyutani]

I've been using the one-handed backhand for 3months + now. im a former two-hander actually.

But im starting to feel the pain in my wrist everytime i hit a power forehand. why is this? why do i wake up every morning feeling the sore of my left wrist?

You may have simply strained it - try giving it a break. [And seeing as you have a wrist injury, I'm going to cut you some slack on spelling "with" as "wif."]

Nobody can really know what the issue is with only that information so I'd advise you simply get it checked out or report back to us after a period of rest - perhaps two weeks or so.

If you're flicking your wrist any, then that definitely could be putting strain on it. If you're bending it at an unnatural angle and exerting force on it then that could be putting strain on it. Basically anything but a fixed wrist before, during, and all the way until just after contact may cause problems. This applies to both forehand and backhand.

Post a video of you hitting some forehands/backhands if you can, maybe you're unconsciously jerking it around? MTChong is right though, not enough info to properly diagnose as is.. Sorry


P.S. Fear the number of the beast, bookakaka

maybe your western grip is too extreme, or the grip is too big. happened to me once with a 4 1/2 grip.
