My advice is to stop playing. I know that won't be popular but in my experience, that is the quickest route to recovery. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
1. R.I.C.E. stands for **rest, ice, compression, and elevation**, and taking these simple steps following a strain, sprain, or other similar injury can help you more quickly recover and get back to everyday activities.

Take injuries seriously. Do not rush back to playing if there there is a change to aggravate it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Stop playing! let it heal or you will stop playing permanently. I am an acupuncturist which is a helpful therapy for wrist injuries, but I work with clients who feel better and go straight put and play a.m.a. and they are back in office next week.

I have a feeling it could be a TFCC injury. But also knowing me it could be a lot of things. I have an extremely high pain tolerance | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Going through a light sprain myself; plan to give it a week and go for a hit after that. See how it feels. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

More than a week and no improvement?! I think you should go see a doctor; definitely don’t play on it then. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
If you think it’s TFCC check out the wrist widget - worked for my TFCC strain, which fully healed while playing through it.

I'll take a look at it. Thank you | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I'm thinking of talking to my dad about it but not really sure if I should. It's only painful if I make contact with my wrist in a bad position | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Is your father a doctor? First have to heal, then fix the technique if that's causing the pain | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yeah, I had a minor shoulder and elbow injury. I didn’t take a break and it is now a major elbow and shoulder injury. I’ve had to stop using my one handed backhand, and completely change my forehand stroke. Yea I still play, I got problems, leave me alone. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Go to doctor/physio if you can afford it, they'll tell you what to do | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Wrists are hard since they're complex joints. Definitely wrist and hand strengthening exercises \_if\_ they don't hurt to do. Also check your non-tennis activities, e.g. if you use a computer a lot or hold your phone weird, that can inflame or keep irritating your wrist. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Without more detail about ***what kind of wrist injury***, any advice is useless. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Yeah. He is. I'm pretty sure it's an overuse injury. My technique has to be very good considering the racket I play with | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I might go ask my dad at some point | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Yeah. They're one of the most complex along with the ankle. I only feel it if I strike a ball with my wrist at an off angle | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

I like having an cardio option that’s equally interesting to fall back to. For me it’s cycling. Swimming is the other popular choice.
Tennis hurts so many niche muscles - this is almost mandatory imo: else you just end up getting unfit. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Give it rest for a few weeks to heal it fully, work on other aspects whiles it’s healing, play with your offhand. Wrist pain may be a sign of not using the legs hips and shoulder properly In the swing | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I also just injured my wrist.
I stopped playing. I iced it, wrapped it and took some NSAIDs.
Then I went to orthopedic doctor and got a x ray and had the wrist examined.
Doctor gave me some steroids to help reduce inflimation and a wrist brace. I'm probably waiting at least another week or two before hitting. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Stop getting injuries 🤷🏻😅 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
See a physio and get it properly assessed so you can get the appropriate strength and conditioning exercises for your situation.
Everyone else online can offer anecdotal opinions, but each injury is different and has different causes.
Source. Am a physio | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
That isn't likely. If your injury is located on the pinkie side of the wrist, then what you have is **ulnar wrist pain**, which isn't really a diagnosis, since it can be caused by many different things. TFCC is only one of the possibilities. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Need some advice from the experts. When I was in HS playing tennis on the East Coast tennis was insanely popular and you could actually go get fitted for rackets like you do now with golf clubs. Apparently that’s not a thing anymore. So how in the world do you choose a proper racket? Why have they done away with fittin... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
The Tennis Warehouse demo program could help.
Based on the info you gave, she should stick with a racket that is well under 300g. A larger head can also help give her some easy power. I’d look for something between 100-105 square inches. I’d also recommend using soft poly strings at a low tension. If that feels uncom... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

Probably the best place to start is asking the guy/gal she’s been taking lessons from. Those Clash rackets are likely fine for her as they are considered a power racket. A Babolat Pure Drive would also be considered a power racket.

Clash is already a powerful racquet. There's nothing inherently wrong with it. Stick to syn gut or multi at ~50lbs should be sufficient power. Avoid poly like the plague and ignore anybody that suggests it for her as they have no idea what they are talking about. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Are there zero tennis shops where you’re located? They usually offer a demo program with a fixed price that lets you borrow current year rackets, much like library books. Once you find one that you like, they put the price of the demo program towards the price of the racket. Their staff obviously can give you racket re... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Can you tell me more about why you’re so adamantly against poly in this case? Is it just due to low durability? I’m asking bc I’m learning, | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
There's a couple reasons for this. Poly is very low powered which op does not want. It's a lot stiffer so it's less forgiving for mistakes. Which in turn can lead to injuries | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
The main benefit of poly is the lack of power, which thereby allows the player to swing with increased racquet head speed to generate more spin on the ball. Power needs to be supplied by the user to unlock this potential. However, OP specifically says their daughter has trouble generating their own power. For adolescen... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I'm a HS coach. Clash in the 105 and 108 sizes is a power racquet, and perhaps most appealingly is a forgiving racquet in terms of injury. When you're playing 4-5 times a week between practice and matches, that's important even if you're young. The 108 size may be hard to control though. If power is still a problem wit... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
As far as racquets to try, pure drive is reasonable to try. I'd be remiss not to mention the Head Radical MP. At the state tournament for HS, probably 1/3 of the racquets I saw were Radical MPs and there is a reason for that.

All this pickle ball bruhaha.

I don't know any modern racquetball players but it was pretty huge back in the day, you're right.

Can’t remember anyone ever hating on racquetball, it’s fun as hell. There are lots of great racket sports that aren’t tennis.

My 80 year old uncle played racquetball a few times a week until last year when he had back to back multiple broken bones.

I played squash for many decades and we kinda looked down a bit on racquetball, suggesting it was like checkers compared to chess.

1) No tennis players hated on racquetball. The primary reason for hating on pickleball is that pickleball players and associations are actively working to replace tennis facilities with pickleball facilities. The secondary reason is that is is so effing LOUD, especially indoors.

The primary issue with racquetball is that past a certain level of play its not really fun. The concept of the game is great but the way it plays out makes it more like work. This is immediately apparent when watching professional tournaments. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Squash is infinitely more challenging than racquetball, imo. Racquetball is largely just setting up a smash to end a point, whereas squash tends to have much longer rallies and more slowly evolving points where you pin players into specific spots. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Requiring a grip size over five has to be anomalous. If the tips of your fingers touch your palm in continental, then you def. need to bump up a size. Otherwise, like with most things, go with what feels good and makes you happy. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
My fingers touch when I grip the size 4 but I think it may have been overkill to go with 2 wraps, could those be cut off and redone with only one without doing damage to the pallet? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Damn, you’ve got some mitts!
If you are gentle and precise enough, you should be able to get one off without cutting into the other. Plus, a thin cut from a razor blade isn’t going to affect the use or feel of the final product.

I have leather on my handles and will agree that the bevels are slightly blunted, but I don’t consider them difficult to detect. That’s going to be really personal though, so, choose your own adventure. If you put the grip on deliberately, firmly pressing down each turn, I think you will find it to be fine. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
How much more size would you say leather grip adds compared to a regular grip ? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
It’s less about additive size and more about size maintenance/compression resistance—we’re talking tiny differences, so I’m not trying to give the impression of night/day. Synthetic grips have cushion, which compress and break down over time. Leather is durable and doesn’t compress.
