Tennis question?

Question

Im just learning how to play and I sprang my wrist maybe about two weeks ago. How can I stop the pain when I serve and what is the correct way to serve?

Answer 1

wrap it up really tight ok but not to much that it will cut off circulation and u serve overhand just toss the ball up gently and swing overhand and try to serve cross court if u can't its ok don't worry about it it takes a while to get the serve down i was a tennis player and it took me a while too =)

Answer 2

For now, you should have your wrist wrapped and iced after every practice session. Keep your practice sessions shorter now. The correct way to serve is with the continental grip. If you use the semi-western grip to serve like some players, your wrist is always in danger and could be broken!!! When you use the continental grip, your wrist automatically breaks by itself and snaps at the ball. Make sure you move your weight forward so that your wrist doesn't take all the pressure. Your chest should be facing forward towards the net so that your wrist breaks smoothly and snaps towards the ball strongly. Good Luck with tennis!!!!!

Answer 3

Wear a wrist brace. When serving, the European front stance is easier on the body than the American John McEnroe side stance. Just get a consistent toss in front of you hit down as you move forward.

Answer 4

rub a little of Ben Gay on your joints & areas that gives you pain.
The corect way to serve is 1- Tose the ball the right height & direction. 2-Use your body as an arc, bending & hitting.
It's hard to tell you in words how. That is why you need a coach. I coach !

Answer 5

When u serve, keep your wrist tight. dont move it. u can prevent pain that way. and its the correct way to serve.
