Hello, I have a HUGE tournament coming up and my wrists are a bit rusty, what are some good stretches for the wrists that will loosen up my wrists so i don't have a tight feeling when i serve or smash?

-Sincerely,

Ben W.

Hi Ben,

I think the first thing is to focus on the tension in your wrists rather than the stretching.  Try to relax them as much as you can while you are away from the table.  Some players find shaking them around helps.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
