Learn the truth about these 5 common myths in the tennis world and improve your knowledge and game!
Tennis Myth #1: “You should make sure to snap your wrist on your serve.”
A wrist snap or whip is an essential part of a serve, but you’re much better off not thinking about it. If you try to tell your wrist when to snap, the only thing you’re likely to accomplish is eventually injuring your arm. Keeping your wrist loose on your serve will let it whip forward exactly when it’s supposed to–as a natural consequence of the forces generated by larger, more powerful parts of your arm and body. Trying to snap your wrist deliberately can put its motion out of sync with those powerful forces, and this can lead to injury. You don’t need to think about snapping your wrist, and you definitely should not try to force it to happen.
