Penhold wrist problem
Strokes
Tim Sodelund Asked 13 years ago
Can you get hurt in the wrist when you play with the penhold grip.
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Tim,
No, there is no greater danger with using the penhold grip. Problems with the wrist usually arise when the player has tension in the wrist. It doesn't matter whether they are playing shaekhand or penhold. Have you had wrist problems?
