Lesson for the day

Recently I had a private tennis lesson, and here's what I learned: I have a limp wrist. Imagine that, a gay man with a limp wrist. Seriously, though, I bend my wrist when I bring my racquet back for both forehand and backhand. Then I flick my wrist the other way when I hit the ball. This leads to inconsistency in my shots. When I firmed up my wrist, my shots got much better. I also let my wrist "collapse" when I volley, which wreaks havoc on my volleys. So, lesson for today: keep a firm wrist. I'm gonna go do some wrist exercises. Hope everyone's holiday weekend was happy.
