Wrist Bending

Strokes

Amr Rawi Asked 11 years ago

Hello,

I tend to bend my wrist when playing forehand. I have heard that it is a bad habit, how can I change that?

Thank you,

Hi Amr,

Try to focus on this while you are training. Focus on the wrist and see if you can keep it straight. Then also watch the ball and see if it travels in a straight line. If it curves a lot focus on this and see if you can get the ball to travel straight.
