So, as the title says, my left(non dominant) wrist has been bugging me off and on since February-- some days it's really tough to hit a two handed backhand, others I have no issues. Spoke to a trainer about it during the spring season, basically he thought it was either tendinitis or I possibly tore an obscure ligament. Either way, it was almost certainly a use/tennis caused injury. If it remains as is for a few more weeks, I may get it looked at by a doctor to see if I have to get anything done to it.
In the meantime, there's tennis to be played. I've always had a 1H slice backhand, and it's actually a pretty good option, I manage to keep it low enough and cutting through the court so that opponents can't attack it. I've never learned the topspin 1h backhand, but I figure it would be a good idea in case the left wrist doesn't heal up soon or is problematic.
My "plan" is to go to one of the pros that leads my training group and has a one handed backhand, and getting some fundamentals down in an individual session, practicing it for a while, checking in once or twice and hopefully integrating it into my match play. Thoughts?
