Grip A Tennis Racket Or Similar Object And Slowly Perform The Backhand Stroke Note The Position Of Your Forearm Pro 1 (40.31 KiB) Viewed 42 times

• Grip a tennis racket or similar object, and slowly perform the backhand stroke. Note the position of your forearm (pronated or supinated) and your wrist (flexed or extended). Stop your stroke at a point where you think the racket will strike the ball. Picture the ball being struck near the upper edge as opposed to the middle portion of the racket (the so- called sweet spot). Which way will your racket rotate in your grip at the point when the ball is hit? Will your wrist likely be forced to flex or extend on contact with the ball? Will your forearm likely be forced to pronate or supinate on contact? What muscles of the forearm and wrist contract as you perform the backhand stroke? What happens to these muscles if the ball is hit off center, causing a rotation (torque) of the racket and your forearm? What traumatic condition can be caused by this action if it is repeated every time you strike a backhand? Which of the following factors can affect (positively or negatively) this condition: racket head size, racket grip size, stroke mechanics, or a two-hand backstroke?
