Wrist tension
Strokes
Ben Ben Asked 12 years ago
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.

It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
