[tennisbiz2] Re: Serving Problem

Dear Larry:

The most common injury on the serve has to do with a
stiff wrist... Tell your student to hold a tennis ball
like he's going to throw it.. Usually when you throw a
ball you only grab it with 3 fingers, the index, the
middle finger and the thumb, leaving out the pinky and
the ring finger... Grabbing the ball this way will
give you a more flexible wrist. Now translate that
into a continental grip for the serve, and the loose
wrist will prevent injury letting the impact go into
the forearm and bicep muscles, and not into the
shoulder joints....
