Wrist pain

Gabriel Unknown Asked 14 years ago

Hi, Alois and Jeff!

As a left-hander, when I hit a forehand loop, my shot always used to go across the table (from left to right), which made it easy for my opponents to prepare themselves.

After some practice, I learned how to aim at the left side of the table; but, after playing for some days, my wrist started to hurt. I wonder if it's because of how I use this forehand loop. If that's the case, could you tell me a way of doing it properly? Thanks!

Hi Gabriel,

Sounds like it may be the cause of your wrist pain. The important thing here is to relax your wrist when it goes back. If you force it back it will work too hard, if you relax it and let it go back you will find it a little easier.

Also work on your relaxation in your wrist and see if it helps.

iwas also having this problem and it took me 3 weeks to get it alright. so just relax and avoid playing table tennis(or any other work which includes wrist movement) for 2-3 weeks.
