need advicedual021 03-28-2007, 12:39 PM I recently got into tennis and the thing is everytime i use dropshot by slicing the ball to create underspin my elbow hurts badly during the evening and the day after. Is it really natural to feel pain in such a way? or am i creating mistakes on using slice shot? tennisplayer89 04-01-2007, 06:01 PM Are you sure it is being caused by hitting slices and dropshots? gaz 04-02-2007, 11:44 PM it is more than likely caused by a late contact point Dougie 04-03-2007, 07:40 AM it is more than likely caused by a late contact point That might well be the case. Try getting some lessons from a coach at the local club, or something. Mistakes in technique are important to be corrected, in the long run they can cause quite a bit of pain and injuries. gaz 04-03-2007, 09:27 PM if you can video yourself i can have a look at you technique i am a qualified performance tennis pro Bobby 04-04-2007, 06:23 AM Are you sure it is being caused by hitting slices and dropshots? That's what I thought. It could be that the pain is caused by some other shot and you just feel it when hitting drop shots and slice. I would make sure that your serve and forehand are in order. Obviously there's something wrong with your technique. Tennis shots should not consume your body a lot if you hit them with the right technique. | |
