Teaching friend with wrist problem
Strokes
christopher Nelson Asked 11 years ago
Hello there!
I'm trying to teach my friend who is recovering from wrist surgery a while back. He still has a long time to fully recover and he can make most of the motions but not the "extreme" angle of the wrist that I tried to show him for forehand and backhand. Are there any alternatives that I can show or teach him. Maybe a different grip perhaps? Or is it bad practice to show him the shake hand grip but just not as much of an angle?
Thank you very much!

Hi Christopher,
He doesn’t need to use the wrist at all to start with. Keep it quite firm to develop control. To turn the bat forward he can turn his forearm rather than the wrist.
